None of my family is really the prayer type, but I would certainly appreciate some positive energy sent my father’s way.
Last Friday he awoke in a lot of pain that turned out to be a perforated ulcer. He had emergency surgery, and the surgeon said that he didn’t think it was going to be cancerous, but unfortunately, the pathology came back today that said it is. He also has pneumonia (god knows how long that’s been going on) All of this is complicated by needing a heart valve and aortic stenosis, leading to figuring out which comes first: cancer or valve. Age, being about to turn 79 isn’t in his favor.
On the plus side he’s starting to recover from the emergency surgery and will hopefully get rid of the NG tube and maybe move on to clear liquids and avoid needing IV nutrition.
His name is Tom and he could use some help.
Thank You.
