Dad will have his entire nose removed on the 14th and will be there for several days. Please pray for strength for my folks.

I'm continuing to keep your family in my prayers, Rose and hope that things go well in the morning with the surgery.

Thanks for your prayers!



Dad has a 1 1/2 triangular hole in the middle of his face. Right now, it is covered with gauze filled with vaseline and antibiotic. He is in a great deal of pain. His entire lip is swollen and he's having difficulty drinking. He can spoon food in, but slurping water or juice is a messy affair.



After 6 weeks of healing, he will have 6 weeks of radiation, then, they will start building him a nose starting with a wax "sculpture." So, he will spend the holidays without a nose. Please pray about the sensitivity of others. He's had people's expressions look horrified, a lady burst into tears, one woman kept her back to him and didn't even look at him. These people need to stay home if they can't cope. He does not need to be dealing with their problems. He has too many of his own.



Thanks again,

Rose
