Dr. Becknell Quote of the Day!

(forgive me if this is a little crass, but it was so funny I couldn't pass it up)

"Lance Armstrong is still with us today, but with only one testicle, mind you."

Update #3 on Dad

Hello Friends, 

As of right now, Daddy is still in the hospital and not on solid foods yet. Unfortunately, his stomach is distended and his bowel isn't working so he is unable to eat solid foods. 

You can be praying that his bowel will  heal properly and that it will begin to work soon so he can go home. I have a suspicion that he's a little grumpy about being there longer than he wanted to. :) 

Once again, thank you for your prayers and support!

Update #2 on My Dad

Hello Friends! 

Here's the second update on my Dad. He is still in the hospital and in a significant amount of pain. However, Mom says that medically, he is doing well. They were able to remove the catheter and he will be moving to solid foods today. His Dr.s hope that Dad will be able to go home Thursday or Friday. God has been very good, and there appear to be no complications thus far. 

You can continue to pray for his spiritual state and that he will transition well to solid foods. Also, for my mom as she endures some of stresses of trying help my Dad and take care of my brother and the house. I think she is beginning to feel the stress of the situation.

Thank you for your prayer and support!

Update on Dad

Hello Friends, 

First off, thank you for all your prayers! 

As many of you know, my Dad was recently diagnosed with colon cancer. He had surgery to remove part of his colon this morning at 9. Here is an update on his condition. 

Dad's surgery is over and the news looks pretty good. The tumor had not perforated the wall of the Colon, which hopefully means this surgery will be curative (aka. it he won't need chemo). I haven't seen him yet, so I'm not sure how he's actually doing/feeling, but I'll post another update later. 

Thank you again for your prayers! Please pray continually for God to work powerfully in my Dad's heart and for him to get saved as result of this experience. 

Thank you so much for your guys' love and support!
