Dad started feeling bad on Saturday and then spent all of Christmas day in bed. That evening he developed some vision problems so we took him to Baptist Hospitol. A brain scan revealed that there are some spots on the brain that are probably causing both the nausea and the vision problems. Either tuesday or wednesday they will start whole brain radiation treatment to help neutralize those spots on the brain. He will also finish up the focused radiation treatment on his back and lung. The hope is that these two procedures, and some medicines to help swelling, will make him much more comfortable. The doctors can't say for sure what will happen next. As dad has said numerous times, every day is different. Right now he just needs to be able to keep food down so that he can get enough strength to be able to go home. It may be a couple of days before that happens.
As always, we know that God is in control. And Dad is content to follow God's plan, no matter how unenjoyable it may be.
Jason and I continue to pray for Jim. Praying for comfort and strength for all of you. As always praying for healing if God's will.
