this afternoon: "Hennie just called. She went to see Dad this morning. He had breakfast, first time Since Tuesday’s lunch. They also had him up, using a walker. They want him to put his full weight on the leg. He is being given something to handle his pain. When she left, two more people from church were on their way to see him."

This evening: Mom called tonight to update us. She went to see Dad after work. Dad is in much better spirits and really wants to get out of the hospital tomorrow. Both Mom & the Dr. think that's not a good idea since he could have trouble taking care of himself at home yet. The Dr. also wants to keep Dad in longer so that they can get to the bottom of where the cancer is coming from. They are still waiting on those biopsy cultures from yesterday, but they are also going to be doing any testing they can at the hospital to narrow it down. Hopefully they can figure it out soon so they can get a treatment plan set up.
