Update on my Dad

My Dad has been in the hospital for about 2 weeks now. As most of you know, he has esophogial cancer. He's had it for a couple years now and has been doing pretty well. He did a round of radiation and chemo and subsequent scans showed that the tumor was encased in scar tissue and had become dormant... well now they say it's activated again but we are not sure what that means. He has had urinary problems so he had a cystoscopy on Dec 18th to find out if the cancer had possibly spread to his bladder. The procedure went well... they didn't find anything... but he started falling down, was really weak and was slurring his words... so my Mom took him to the hospital to find out what was going on. Turns out he had an infection from the cystosopy and the infection was causing all the problems. We almost didn't believe it but it was really true. He was supposed to go home the Tuesday after Christmas but he is still there. He has had every test under the sun including a PET scan on Tuesday. That will give us the true picture of where the cancer is and if it has spread at all. When he is finally discharged from the hospital, he will probably go into a rehab to gain some strength back before heading home.... If you have any extra prayers, say a prayer that my will recover and be able to go home soon.
