The Not-So Good News about Dad



My Dad has been fighting his diabetes and renal failure for most of the year and his been going in and out of the hospital. His last bout with this happened last week as he was recovering from exploratory surgery. It seems he got a bladder infection and was being kept to observe his condition. Fortunately, he was released from the hospital yesterday as his kidneys recovered and began functioning properly. However, from a biopsy performed last week it was discovered Dad has in fact Urinary Bladder cancer. This is not good news as he has all the classic symptoms. He is meeting with his urologist Tuesday to determine what is the course of treatment and to field any questions. Personally, I am anxious to hear the state and grade of the cancer. Daddy Cap will be in our thoughts and prayers. Here is a picture of Dad and Mom with some of the kids in San Diego for their 50th wedding anniversary.
