Dad is home...Again!

Hi everyone,
Well, my dad is out of the hospital...Again! The blood clot seems to be under control and he is home. It’s still been a rough past few days. It’s amazing how much weight he has lost. Unfortunately, his system still isn’t absorbing food the way it should which also means that there isn’t any nutrients been absorbed. So, everything is just kind a flowing through him. He has been really weak because of it. For the most part, he has been stuck on the couch. There were a couple days where even talking was a struggle because of the energy it took. I did talk to him today and things seemed to be a bit better. The big thing he told me is that mentally he is in better shape today which is huge! He still has a lot of shots to take for blood thinners, etc.
So, it will be a long summer for him but we are so thankful for everything God has already brought him through. An enormous part of that has been the love and support from my mom. She hasn’t stopped supporting my dad since this whole thing started. She has been there in so many ways and I know she has been such a huge encouragement for my dad. She has even found time to listen to me and my problems!!
On another note, I am looking forward to the next few days. I am taking July 1st-July 5th off work and am excited for the break. I think I will play some golf and just hang out. So, if anyone out there wants to get together send me an email, Facebook message, or give me a call! The patio is calling!
Anyone have any thoughts on the new Alexisonfire album?
