Prayers for Poc

This guy here needs alot of prayers! I don't know where my kids came up with the name Poc for my dad, but that's what they started calling him and it stuck!

(This picture was taken in Aug when we went camping, dad came down and stayed the night with us and took the boys fishing, they loved ever minute of it!)

I took him to the ER on Tuesday night, he has been sick since Halloween and at first we thought he was sick from chemo, then he had a respiratory infection, and 2 antibiotics later, nothing................still sick. I was thinking a stomach infection as he said his stomach hurt, I didn't want him to become septic and get a body wide infection. So off to the ER we went.
After waiting in the ER waiting room 2 hours, they got him back to a room, started an IV, ordered blood work and a CT scan. I went home to take care of my boys, and my brother came to relieve me. My dad called at 1am and the CT scan showed appendicitis, so he went to surgery at 6 am Wed. morning. I stayed with him Wed night and he was home on Thursday morning. When they opened him up for the appendectomy they said the cancer had spread greatly since his last CT scan, the doctor said "thousands" of cancer spots in his stomach :-(

We should know more as we make an apt with the oncologist to see what the plan is now.

He has been recovering quite well, minimal pain, but still no appetite, which is a bum the man loves to eat, so we will see if he gets his appetite back soon!

The boys and myself have spent alot of time at my parents, we put up their tree and help them unpack a few more boxes from their move. We have been busy around here, with decorating, and cleaning, and Christmas Parades, Dinner out with the family, inlaws, and cousins. lots and lots of fun going on!

EE is recovering nicely from surgery, still weak, and not a 100%, but definitely recovering.

This is one of my favorite pics of EE and Poc!
There is nothing better then fishing on the creek bank with your Poc!
