My Dad

We just got some bad news about my Dad. He hasn't been feeling well and hasn't been able to breath well. He got an x-ray and it showed he had pnemonia and it also showed a mass. All this happened when my Mom was in Okinawa of course. He got antibiotics and oxygen but would not check into the hospital until my Mom came home. They day after she got back they went to the ER and he was admitted. They did a biopsy on the mass and it came back malignant and has already spread to his lymph nodes. He also has congestive heart failure and a staph infection. He came home today and will get a PET scan on September 12 to see how much the cancer has spread. So everyone keep us in your thoughts and prayers and I will update when I know more.

My Mom's visit

My Mom made the long trip to Okinawa to visit us. If you know my Mom, this was no small thing for her. Anyway, her trip over was quite an adventure. During her Detroit to Osaka flight, a lady got sick and they diverted the plane to Alaska. When she got to Osaka her flight to Okinawa was already gone. She had to stay all night in a hotel in Osaka. She finally got to Okinawa the next afternoon and on the way home from the airport Sean's car broke down. I had to come and get them and the car had to be towed.

Hopefully she had a good time. She enjoyed seeing Jillian but Samantha was somewhat of a Jekel and Hyde to her.

Murder update

A while back I wrote about a guy I knew who had killed 3 people in my little town. Well, finally he has been sentenced. He was found guilty on 3 counts of murder, one for his girlfriend, one for her 4 year old son, and one for their unborn daughter. He will serve 30 years for each count.
