Dad is doing really good today, they are letting him have liquids. They got all of the tumor out of his head. He's in the ICU still, but there wasn't the damage we thought there would be. So things are looking up. We still need the prayers though for a speedy recovery. Thank you to a...ll my dear friends who have been helping me deal with this.

We are in a hotel for the night in Saginaw because it's free for families of patients of St. Marys. Just trying to take it easy and rest a bit.

I'm glad your dad is doing good & I will keep praying for a speedy recovery.

I will light a candle for a full and speedy recovery. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for your father, TMG!

They are letting him have solid food today, which is a good sign. There is some damage though, he's still leaving hard to his left, and it doesn't seem like his left hard has as much strength as the right. We will know more once they let him get up and walk a bit. I'm heading to the hosptial around dinner time, grabbing food while I'm there since I haven't ate yet today. Mom is getting some sleep right now. I'm going to be pulling the night shift tonight again I think.

I'm really thankful for the owner of the Comfort Inn Suites here in Saginaw. He gave free rooms on Christmas Eve and Christmas day to familes of patients at St. Mary's so that where we have been staying last night and today.

[TitsMcGee]

He's out of the ICU The doctors and nurses are in awe of how well he's doing only 2 days after surgery. My mom even feels good enough about his progress that she is just leaving him alone tonight, so we are all going to get a decent night sleep. He also loved the Christmas present from me and my brother, "The Zombie Survial Guide". It made him laugh which is good.

So glad to hear that your dad is doing so well. I am keeping your family in my thoughts. *hugs*

[TygerLili]

Already read about this on FB, but it's good to hear he is doing so well!

[~Tszura~]

Hooray!! This is wonderful news! We'll keep him in our thoughts for continued strength and recovery TM

We just got a call from the doctor. It's cancer, so dad has to start radiation and chemo soon. I'm holding it together pretty well, just worried about mom losing it. Dad has just kinda accepted that he's not going to work again.

SUX!

You know we are all pullin' for your peoples.

[d:konstruct]

I just said a prayer for him, I hope all is well with you and your family. Take care!

[~Tszura~]

I'm so sorry, TM

I know chemo and radiation are going to be tough, but I pray that he makes it through healthy and strong.

[kat (1)]

You and your family will be in my thoughts. It is good that he has you and your family there as a strong support system. One of my best friends is going through the same thing right now. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor and is awaiting test results. Stay strong.

So it's a "Glioblastoma multiforme" and its a grade 4. Which I guess it's pretty bad. There is a chance it could regrow between 6-18 months. Dad has to start aggressive chemo and radiation within the next week. I really don't know what we are going to do. I have to figure something out job wise so I can help pay the bills so we don't lose the house. Because frankly we have way too much shit to move. And my family has been living on this property since 1874, this is our home.

Edit to add:

Just wanted to put the right name of the tumor/cancer it is.
