Dad does have the 'C' word...

Here is the deal:
The Hill family has been through a lot during the past few weeks.

Two weeks ago: Dad has Renal Cell kidney cancer. That was confirmed after a biopsy.

Thursday morning (October 02): My dad was rushed to Forsyth Hospital because he could not get his breath. At that point, he was being treated for bronchitis.

Monday (October 6): After a 'scope' test, doctors found out that dad had a partially blocked bronchial tube. Also, his left vocal cord is paralyzed. That is why he has had almost no 'voice' for a couple of weeks.

Wednesday afternoon (October 8): Luke had a stint put in to 'open up' the tube to his lung.
That should help with his breathing. At last check, he was smiling and hungry! A good sign.

Thursday, October 09: Meeting with Dr Grote (Oncologist)


Please Pray for us. Pray for wisdom. Pray for my mom (Janie). Pray for the doctors.
Praise: Thanks for all of our new friends in Christ. The nurses and staff on the 8th floor at Forsyth have been wonderful!


Cards have been a great 'pick-me-up' for dad. He (and we) have been Blessed with your thoughts and humor! Humor is good...


BTW: Please limit your visits until further notice. Dad is very weak right now...and he needs all the rest he can get. Thanks for understanding.
