My Dad

[kawgirl]

We found out a week ago that Dad has lung cancer. He already had emphysema and was taken to the hospital Saturday a week ago after being found by my mother sitting in the floor concious, but non-responsive. They began treating him for pneumonia after taking chest x-rays. Things weren't getting better by Monday with two strong anti-biotics so a CT Scan was done and that is when the cancer masses were found in both lungs. He also has Alzheimer's so he's not aware of what health issues he has going on. He has been told but the short term memory takes it right away. I would say, it's somewhat a blessing in disguise. He won't be consumed with the facts and dwelling on it. We're taking one day at a time, one step at a time.

Thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.
