Well, J & I traveled to mom & dad's yesterday. We drove up the house and since no one seemed to be home, we started heading back out of the driveway to go to their office. As we were leaving, Dad drove up to take his meds from the surgery. He looked good, of course. And after he said "hi" to J, J said "your voice sounds pretty good" :) J is very worried about the prospect of Dad having to get an electronic voice box (not sure of technical terms?) even though right now it's not one of the more planned on choices.
It did both J & I a lot of good to see him in person and to be around mom to see how they are both handling things so far. It calmed us both. Mom needed some help Christmas shopping and Dad needed time w/J. J did ask him lots of questions but I think it was great for both of them. Today, I was able to do some work for mom at the office and dad wanted to spend the morning w/J as usual. Donuts for breakfast, Nickelodeon and Disney all morning and fresh cookies for the trip home...a typical weekend at Grandaddy's :)
Tuesday is the CAT scan, around 2:15pm. The results might not be in for several days, but they will also be seeing the doctor on Wednesday. I'll keep posting as I get more news.

I'm so glad you went to see them. It really helps to hug them and see their faces. I'm praying!!

When we found out about Mom's breast cancer we were on a road trip to Colorado for 16 days. In many ways it was the longest trip. Three surgeries later, and several complications, we got home to FBG and I RACED to SA just to lay my hands on my mommy, and to see for myself that she was indeed O.K. Thursday she finished chemo and will start radiation in Jan.
I am praying for you in a big way. I am praying for your Daddy. I am praying that J will have peace and understanding on his level. And I am praying that your family is surrounded in a cloud of grace and mercy that allows you all comfort and endurance. Hugs to you, my friend!
I'm so glad you and J got to see your dad. It must have taken a load off...to see that he is still your dad and J's grandaddy!
I love you and will keep your crew in my prayers. I'm sorry for your heartache. I pray you are brought comfort and peace.
