Updates

Sorry I have not updated in a while, we have been very busy. May 9th we attended my cousins wedding reception. It was a sports theme, so we all wore our favorite sports attire. I had my first Mother's Day with Kaylin. We spent the afternoon at my mom and dad's to celebrate with all the moms in the family. May 14, my dad had surgery to remove stomach cancer that they thought was contained. This is his 3rd battle with cancer. The surgeon opened him up and found that the cancer has spread and was not contained as they originally thought. My dad will meet with his oncologist next week to find out his chemotherapy options. Kaylin was at the hospital the day of the surgery. We were there from about 10 am to 10 pm and she did wonderful. She brought a smile to everyones face after such devestating news. She went up to the hospital to see her Grandpa almost everyday and really wanted to get her hands on his NG tube that was in his nose. We of course as a family will stick together and of course we will continue to hope and pray for a miracle. My dad has beat the odds before, so who says he won't do it again.
