I wish I had better news, but Daddy has been getting weaker by the day. He has no strength in his legs at all now. He can't even bend his knees for us. He hurts all the time not just in the area where the cancer is but all over. Sometimes he can't even stand for us to touch his arm, shoulder etc. because it hurts. Hospice brought us a lift yesterday so that we could pick him up and move him. We used it this morning to move him into the living room. He is still letting us hook him up to the feeding tube for a little while each day. He's only getting about a cup and a half of food per day (it can only go in so fast through the feeding tube). Maybe that's one reason he's getting so weak, or maybe it's just the cancer and his body is just wearing out. I don't know.

Mom is working and worrying herself to death. She won't stop and rest for a second.

Sorry for the grim update. I'm still praying for the miracle though!
