THE STORM WARNING

• DECEMBER 1-12--2007
• December 1-6 are a repeat of the month of November
• I find some frozen rice dinners that David is able
• to eat so now he is eating one meal a day
• and a pudding in the morning to take with his pill
• he is no longer drinking anything but water
• December 7-- Miss Ashley gets her 4 wisdom teeth out
• and comes here for a while= this perks papa up for a while
• as he is a good nurse-kind and patient and she is feeling no pain
• yet but needs prescriptions for the pain later
• she wants to stay over but I am
• worried if there is an emergency that papa is not well enough to take her
• so she goes home with prayers
• December 8- Miss Ashley comes here late and looks at papa and tells
• him he is turning yellow- we laugh and tell her it is her medication
• but being a determined grand child she drags papa into the light
• and removes his glasses and then we all see it- his eyes and skin are
• yellow
• my heart does a flip flog becasue I know this is not a good sign
• December 10- I take David into the doctor's with out an appointment
• he is now yellow from head to toe and sick
• suddenly the doctor is in a panic
• December 11--we go to the city for an emergency ultrasound which takes a long
• time and then another doctor re did the ultrasound and tells David to go see his
• doctor tomorrow
• at 4 o'clock the office here calls and makes an appointment for the next morning
• December 12--we go in and we don't wait long-- doctor v----comes in and just sits down with
• his head in his hands and does not speak right away=
• then he says that he has the worst news he has to tell any one- and then
• repeats the same sentence- both David and I say''what is it??
• doctor says it is CANCER OF THE WORST KIND - then he repeats it again
• we ask where?
• he says-- pancreas cancer - and repeats that twice too=
• we ask what to do and he says he is getting hold of the cancer clinic in the city
• and we will hear something today
• then he told us that this was a shock to us and to go home and rest-
• we were there for 5 minutes and our world tipped over-we did not where to go
• what to do or what to say--------we went to our church immediately for prayer
• and then went home to rest even though we could not and waited for the phone to ring
• ----to be continued in next blog-----
