The Power of Family

If one ever underestimated the power of family, today was a day to realize the importance of family! I've had time to visit with family members here this weekend and chat on the phone with others far away and I think we are all on the same page as far as Dale's wishes for treatment.

Fun conversations, laughter and good food have helped erase the "C" word from the week's events. Hallelujah!

Dale's neck pain is manageable today. Lots of tylenol and heating pad treatments! This must be from the bronchoscopy procedure on Wednesday and the manipulations during that procedure.

Ribs and brisket with all the trimmings are heating on the pit. Texas Tech football on the TV and the quiet realization that times like these are invaluable!

Our eyes on on curing this disease by removing it from his body. We're all expecting the surgeon to report back on surgery day with clean margins on the tumor and a speedy recovery! ( My new mantra!)

Go Tech!

Treasure your quiet times with family. When all is said and done, all we ever have is family. Give Dale a big hug from his now confused conservative nephew. Love all.
