Have Faith

Wow! It has been a busy couple of weeks. Danny's dad who we call "Pop", has been diagnosed as having lung cancer. There is a funny story behind this discovery. Two Saturdays ago Dan was cutting tree limbs for his dad. While trimming a SMALL branch fell on Dan and then hit his dad on top of the head. I emphazise small because Pop told everyone that he was hit in the head with a log! (which is not true) Anyway Dan made sure his dad was fine and came home. A few hours later he became disoriented and his head and neck began to hurt. So he called 911 and got a one way ride to AMH. While there getting his head checked out the drs ordered a check x-ray. We are so thankful they did. Because the drs saw a huge tumor surrounded by infection in his upper right lobe of his lung. They proceed to do a biopsy. One came back inconclusive while the needle biopsy came back positive for a-typical squamous cell. He has been so sick and had surgery yesterday to remove the infected tumor. He did great and is breathing on his own, sitting up in a chair, and cracking jokes. He is still in CCU but should be moved out tomorrow. Thankfully the surgeon was able to remove everything, and tests show the cancer has not spread!!!! I love Pop! We have the best time running his errands and doing lunch. I can truthfully say he is more than a father -n-law to me, he is the father I have never had. Just the thought of losing the dear man brings tears to my eyes. Also during this stressful time we hosted Laura's graduation party. It turned out good and everyone enjoyed Dan's bbq
