HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Hope everyone had a safe and fun time ringing in the new year. Dad is still struggling with eating. Some days are better than others, but most days he's barely eating solid food at all, and is pretty much living off of liquid protein shakes or supplements, and even that is a struggle. It's a vicious circle. He's not hungry, he's too weak to even swallow, but he won't get stronger if he doesn't eat. I've read that more than 40% of cancer patients don't die from the cancer, they die from malnutrition, and that scares me so badly.

So, I'm calling all of you prayer warriors out there, we need to pray very specifically for Dad's appetite to increase, for the ability to swallow the food he puts in his mouth, and the strength to just eat at all.

Thanks everyone for the prayers, calls, cards, etc. Keep 'em coming. We appreciate it more than you know.
