Quick update, we had to put Dad back in the hospital yesterday. He had just become too weak and malnurished. They put in a feeding tube, which will allow Dad to get all of the nutrients his body needs, and will help him regain his strength. We're going to postpone chemo for this week and probably next week too, just to give his body a break and regain some strength.

On a good note, we spoke with the doctor and he showed us on his computer the lab test results. It was actually a comparison from the very first test through the last test, and there is one particular level that indiciated either bone disease or liver disease, and since we had already ruled out bone cancer, we're assuming it's the liver cancer. This one has continued to drop which to him indicated that the chemo is working. They're going to do a brain and abdomen scan today, so please be in prayer that we'll get good results.
