I'm sure many are waiting for an update on dad. I am tempted to mince words, but then what good would an update be? It has been a rough couple of days. Full of pain for him, full of heartache for us watching him as he struggles with the pain. He cries out and we watch helplessly wishing we could trade places with him. They have him on the best pain meds & have also put a spinal block in so he can hopefully find some relief. It lessens the pain but doesn't seem to get rid of it completely. The plan is to try to get the pain under control and start hydrating him tonight so they can move him up to Huntsman's and start another round of Chemotherapy. The more chemo he gets, the better the chances are of avoiding amputation. The more the swelling goes down & the more the tumor dies, the better the chances are of the doctor being able to reconstruct & do a hinge knee for my dad. We pray that dad can tolerate the pain, so he can get through these next rounds of chemo before surgery. Thank you for your kindness, your prayers & support.

Hang in there Holl! There are a TON of people praying for you and I know you guys can all feel them. Your Dad must be an amazing man if he has a daughter like you, and I know Heavenly Father will bless him. Huntsman is a great facility, my sister worked there for many, many years. I know if he went there they would take good care of him as well. Hugs from me! If you do ever come up to SL to see him and need a lunch outing and break.... PLEASE call me. I would come down and meet you in a heart beat. Love ya!
I agree with Nicole. Your father is blessed to have you as his advocate. I am still fasting and praying and thinking about all of you all day long. I pray that the doctors will continue to be inspired and guided by the spirit to do whatever is the BEST thing for your dad. Hang in there!
Holly,
I'm so sorry about all of this. I feel so bad for your dad and family.
Hang in there!
Thanks for the update. These next few days are going to be tough, I am sure. Tough for your dad to endure the pain and tough for all of you to watch. There are many people who are thinking of and praying for your dad and just wish we could take some of the pain ourselves. Lots of love and prayers from our family.
Holly, I am so sorry about your Dad! I haven't checked in in a while and was sad to see these posts:) We love ya and are thinking of you:)
Holly- my thoughts and prayers are also with your family at this time. I am so sorry you have to go thru this. It sounds like your dad is one strong guy. I know Heavenly Father will bless you all thru this hard time!
I just spent some time catching myself up on your blog & my stomach is in a knot. *PRAYING*PRAYING*PRAYING*
Thank you so much for the hair clip, candy, & sweet card. You are so thoughtful Holl. It makes me tear up thinking of this emotionally painful struggle you are enduring with your Dad, & yet you still find the time to do kind deeds for others. You are one of the most selfless people I know & I am so proud and lucky to call you my friend.
Let Dad know that he looks mighty handsome with that hairless head! I dig it! And I know that I've mentioned how much your kids look alike but I've never realized (until I saw the haircut pictures) just how much they look like your Dad! Especially little Brooklyn. So cute!
Stay strong & positive sweet friend. Your Dad is in great hands at Huntsman and lifted up in prayer by so many daily. Please keep us updated. If you need anything please call. Sending hugs your way.
Hey Holl
Hang in there. I know things can get intense fast. Keep your fighting spirit and have faith. Remember that miracles still happen. We are praying for all of you and understand the heartache!
Sure Love Ya!
Ugg! My heart is with you and your family right now! Good luck with everything and know we are thinking and praying for you all...you guys need strength to get through this too!
