Good News and PRAYERS NEEDED!

As for the good news, tumor markers went down 36% more these last 3 weeks!!!!!!!!
We are still awaiting reports from the CT scans and the MRI, but going by the tumor markers, we expect good news! Wireless internet has been hit and miss here, so I don't know if I will be able to post the results until we get home Saturday. We visit with my Oncologist and do round 4 of chemo tomorrow.

Now, for the prayers part. As soon as we got to Houston Tuesday I received a call that my Dad was taken to the ER and couldn't breathe. He has COPD (Chronic Obstuctive Pulmonary Disease)and emphysema. They transferred him to another hospital and have since had to sedate and intubate him. He will remain intubated under sedation for a couple of days and then they will try to awake him and remove the respirator to see if he can breathe on his own. Hard news to deal with right now. If the have to reintubate him, I will be going out there the first part of next week to be with him. Please say a prayer that he will be fine! He has been a GREAT support for me through my ordeal right now and it would be hard without him.
I love you Dad!
