Well Ive waited a little to give an update on my dad but now I feel like the time is appropriate as I watch him sleep, I'm reminded of all of you who have prayed for him and our family during this time. I'm so completely humbled by your love for us and the support I know I have in you all. Praise god for the kingdom, and for the hope I have because of his grace and mercy.
Surgery went well yesterday, Dr. Cao said pops did great, didn't bleed a lot and he was breathing on his own after they finished. They removed a cancerous lesion from his pancreas that was compressing the common bile duct and had damaged some of his small intestine. Our concern now is that the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes surrounding the pancreas.so our next step after recovery from his surgery is chemo therapy and radiation. This was difficult news to grasp, initially I cried and felt extreme grief. But I have nothing to grieve for. I know my dad is strong like an ox, not only because of physical strength but mainly because of the strength he has from Christ. Today I have peace, god-given amazing peace that I can't explain. I'm so grateful my earthly father knows and loves our heavenly father. That is something to rejoice about, and brings me so much peace in itself. We are going to be taking this one step at a time together and leaning on christ along the way for he is our light in darkness... If anyone wants to visit my dad he is at fountain valley regional medical center room 109....I've been talking to many of u and if I haven't had the chance to text or call u back please know I'm forever grateful for ur love and prayers!! Our god is sooooo good thank you!!!
"let your steadfast love comfort me according to your promise to your servant" psalms 119:76
"is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him song praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for elders of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick and the Lord will raise him up" James 5:13-15
