Prayers for My Dad

Anyone who knows me or has read my blog in the last year will know that my dad has been battling lung cancer. In the last couple of months, a lot has happened. For one he had not been getting chemo since August....but he had to start that up again. Then he had some dementia...well he has tumors in his brain caused by the lung cancer. He had 15 treatments of radiation. We found out Tuesday that they are still there. I am a bit confused but apparently the radiation didn't really work; although the doctor says it might take 4 to 6 weeks? Well he still has the dementia and he is really tired and doesn't talk much at all. He has his good days and his bad days (along with the big pregnant whale...ME!). So we need lots of prayers. They doctors says for him to come back in two weeks for a chemo treatment...although for the past month he hasn't had one because his platelets have been low. So right now he is just at home, there are some nurses that come to help out but it makes me sad to go over there. Dad isn't much for talking and we try to make him talk...he might just be sick of us...he usually spends every weekend at his hunting place and well he hasn't been there in a long time! We want him to get better so that he can go back....
So lots of prayers, please! :)

To answer your question from my blog... yea I do watch the Real Housewives of NYC and the bridge I got engaged on/near is indeed the same one that Ramona and Bethenny had their huge fight on :)
