Well we just found out that my dad has to undergo surgery...Again. He has been in unbelievable pain for the last couple of months. His Chemo doctor has just been throwing more and more medication down him to try to ease his pain without figuring out the problem. (She is not my favorite can you tell!) Anyhow he was finally able to meet with his surgeon who performed his hip replacement. Needless to say he was extremely concerned with my dad's progression which has been NONE! It has been very frustrating to watch him in this pain and not getting any better. Well the surgeon decided to run test and he believes that my dad's hip is infected. So tomorrow he will be checked into Huntsman Cancer Hospital to undergo more surgery to scrape any infection from his hip. I have very mixed emotions about this. First of all I am THRILLED that finally someone is concerned enough to do something for him but second I am extremely nervous for him to go into surgery again. But if this can relieve his pain it will all be worth it. PLEASE keep him and my mom in your prayers.
I will let you know as I know more.

Cassie,
I got the e-mail from Tara about your Dad, I know this is scary but maybe it will be the answer to his pain and he will get better. We will all pray for them and the doctors and hope there will be a turn for better. We love you guys and will be waiting for the updates.

Our prayers and thoughts are with your entire family. It is a relief to have someone do something, but I know you must be very nervous too.
We will definitely keep your parents in our prayers. I hope everything works out and that his pain will subside.
And Kalli! Wow, that is one tough girl! Hopefully she heals quickly so she can get out of the cast! :)
