Thank You!!!

Okay, so Kate is giving me all sorts of grief for not posting an update on Dad's condition.  I gotta tell you, his recovery is miraculous.  He had half a lung cut out on Monday, and was out to breakfast with my stepmom on Saturday.  He has now been deemed cancer free.  He will need no further follow up like chemo or radiation.  I visited him yesterday, and while he's still tired and his appetite isn't quite back yet, he looks fantastic.  I also want to thank Kate for being so awesome about posting updates...she was certainly on it better than I was!

What I really want to say is THANK YOU!!  All of you.  The feedback I got via twitter, facebook, text messages, emails, responses to posts is truly humbling.  I told Dad when I visted him yesterday that he was getting prayers and positive thoughts from not only all over this country, but several others as well.  I gotta tell y'all, it worked.  It really, truly worked.  I may get into more details later, or maybe I won't.  But God's hand was ALL OVER this thing.

Please, PLEASE read this post.  If I need to make it any clearer, when they did the scan Dad had a 2.3 cm "mass"...when they performed the surgery it was 3 cm malignant tumor.  We're talking about 5 weeks folks.  I implore y'all to practice preventive medicine for your sake and for the sake of your loved ones. 

Again, I cannot tell you how humbled and grateful I am for all of your thoughts and prayers.  I will ALWAYS be grateful to you.  :)
