Repost from FaceBook:

Dad is doing really good today, they are letting him have liquids. They got all of the tumor out of his head. He's in the ICU still, but there wasn't the damage we thought there would be. So things are looking up. We still need the prayers though for a speedy recovery. Thank you to a...ll my dear friends who have been helping me deal with this.

We are in a hotel for the night in Saginaw because it's free for families of patients of St. Marys. Just trying to take it easy and rest a bit.

They are letting him have solid food today, which is a good sign. There is some damage though, he's still leaving hard to his left, and it doesn't seem like his left hard has as much strength as the right. We will know more once they let him get up and walk a bit. I'm heading to the hosptial around dinner time, grabbing food while I'm there since I haven't ate yet today. Mom is getting some sleep right now. I'm going to be pulling the night shift tonight again I think.

I'm really thankful for the owner of the Comfort Inn Suites here in Saginaw. He gave free rooms on Christmas Eve and Christmas day to familes of patients at St. Mary's so that where we have been staying last night and today.

He's out of the ICU :animier: The doctors and nurses are in awe of how well he's doing only 2 days after surgery. My mom even feels good enough about his progress that she is just leaving him alone tonight, so we are all going to get a decent night sleep. He also loved the Christmas present from me and my brother, "The Zombie Survial Guide". It made him laugh which is good.

You and your family will be in my thoughts. It is good that he has you and your family there as a strong support system. One of my best friends is going through the same thing right now. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor and is awaiting test results. Stay strong.

So it's a "Glioblastoma multiforme" and its a grade 4. Which I guess it's pretty bad. There is a chance it could regrow between 6-18 months. Dad has to start aggressive chemo and radiation within the next week. I really don't know what we are going to do. I have to figure something out job wise so I can help pay the bills so we don't lose the house. Because frankly we have way too much shit to move. And my family has been living on this property since 1874, this is our home.

Edit to add:

Just wanted to put the right name of the tumor/cancer it is.

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
