More prayers and pixie dust that they fix what is wrong.

If I lived closer, I'd come help you with the canning.

Made some blackberry syrup. It is so yummy. Almost seedless. Forgot to rinse out the pot from when I warmed them before I put the strained ones back in.

I'm on the way to the hospital. Dad will be having surgery this pm abt 1 they think. If this makes no sense I'm sorry a bit stung out at this point. At this point it is considered major surgery cause they are opening him at the midline and flushing everything out and removing that piece of colon.

AWM wish you were closer poor Tom is learning receipies he's never heard of. I'm hopefull that one of my canning buddies might stop over and help with the dilly beans. He can make it through the peas. We also have to go pull the 2 beds of garlic at dads. not sure when we'll fit that in. Good thing Levi's done it the last 2 years with dad so he has a clue.

I'll try to update when I can.

Thank you for all the wishes at least we have a plan now.thank you all.

checking in
surgery went well. to quote the dr his insides were beaten up. they removed about a foot of the transverse and large colon. Mom and I think he looks 100% better tonight we'll see what tomorrow brings. for now I'm headed to bed hopefully will pass out. I plan on taking the laptop with me tomorrow as I'll be spending the day up there hopefully I'll get time to catch up with all the happenings. So if I've missed bdays anniversaries happy happy, hugs and prayers to those of you that need it.
I told mom today about all the prayers and hugs you have all been sending and she said thank you!
thank you all

Thanks guys.

He's doing amazing today. He got up and walked around the pod today and they are all just amazed. the anestigiologst (sp?) that was in on the surgery came in to see him tonight and couldn't believe him and the strength he has.
Mom and I couldn't have made it with out all of you.
I hope in the next few days (week) I can say he's home.

[AlexWyattMommy]

He's walking already??
Wow, your Dad is strong.

Keep up the good work Dad!

Well I'm happy to report that things are finally moving again. He started passing gas and that was the first step so we're hoping that by morning he'll be on clear liquids. He's had amazing nurses and lna's.
I'm off to swim team practice then drop off the boys and back to the hospital for a few hours.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I am so glad to hear the good news.

Hope for more and better improvements.
