I have a feeling that we will be saying this over and over - but, we want to thank everyone for the incredible response to my Dad. The words of love and support and the prayers being offered on his behalf by his family and friends, and friends of your friends and your churches and the list just goes on....have certainly encouraged and sustained all of us through this tough time. He joked that someone once told him when he was on the fast track in the corporate world, "be nice to people on your way up, you will need them on your way down"! While there certainly have been some down days, he is strengthened by all of your support and ready to beat this cancer. Your responses to him are a tribute to how many people he has positively affected through out his life. Thank you for reaching out to him.
For his fellow golf enthusiasts ----Yesterday he had fun being out on the course on a beautiful day with good friends. He put together two pretty good nines, 40/42 for a 18 hole score of 82, which is about average, but under the circumstances he was thrilled to have it! He hasn't lost any distance off the tee, but had some difficulty focusing from long distance to short distances because of the swelling around his left eye. He has a busy week ahead meeting with the various specialists, but hopes to get another round in before surgery is done on his kidney!
We will provide an update after his treatment plan is determined. My Dad's prayer is for good medical advice, clear headed surgeons, and God to take care of the rest of it.
With much love and gratitude -- The Daniel Family
