I am behind on my blogging. (If anyone can explain to me why my computer is underlining all my typing, I'd appreciate it. I can't get it turned off.)

I wanted to journal what has happened to my cute Dad the last month or so. My dad is 83 years old and has had heart trouble since he was 50 or so. He's undergone two triple bypass surgeries during his lifetime and currently has a pacemaker. He has been feeling so tired lately, and Mom insisited on taking him to the ER about the beginning of February. They ran all kinds of tests on him and discovered he has a VERY leaky valve and that his blood count was dangerously low, which resulted in a colonoscopy to find out why. The colonoscopy unveiled that he has colon cancer. They operated on him about ten days ago and took out about a foot and a half of his lower intestine. It was a scary day. Operations on an 83-year-old with a bad heart are uncertain. All five of his children were at the hospital that day, along with Mom. He did amazingly well, but now is facing chemotherapy for the next six months. He seems discouraged, and on top of that, he has been suffering with pneumonia for the last week and can't seem to shake it with his antibiotics. We hope he will be able to go home from the hospital very soon. I think Mom is give out. I wish I lived closer so I could be there for them.

Here are a couple videos we took last Sunday of my stir-crazy children anxious for spring.
