Hello, everyone!
As you have read from the description with my blog, this has been created in honor of my dad, who is battling cancer. It has been created to show you the good days, the bad days, and the in-between days during this process. It's amazing that only two weeks ago, he was diagnosed.
On that note, two weeks ago I was in Moscow with my Jazz Band, and then I got the call on Thursday that my Dad had to go to the hospital. In my mind I'm thinking "Okay- this is going to be fine- he's had many hospital trips... this won't be different."
Low and behold, it was. I was told on the phone that he had a bleed in the stomach and that my dad would be tested. I was a bit freaked out, but prayed to God, hoping everything would be alright.
On Saturday of that same week, I came home to my mom looking like pure, complete hell. Immediately, I knew that something was wrong. Once we got home, I ate a bit, and then my mom and I discussed the issues with my dad. Finally breaking the ice, she told me that the doctors found something that they weren't expecting. At this point, my blood turned ice cold. My dad had cancer. My dad- after EVERYTHING that he'd already been through... had cancer. It scared me to death.
So for four days, I spent hours in Boise with my mom, comforting her as my dad stayed in the hospital, as he was still too weak to leave. Finally, on that next Wednesday after four days in the hospital, he was released to come home- thank God.
Now, I am at this point. It's been 2 weeks since I've been in the hospital with my dad, and am trying to cherish every single MOMENT that I have with him. The doctors have said that he could live anywhere from three to six months... depending on his choices and actions. I pray to God in my heart that he can last six- if not longer.
This blog is for all of you loved ones and friends of mine to read. I appreciate your time- and promise to keep you up to date on everything.
All my love,
