Hi All sorry I have not been around for a while, was down home in PA for Thanksgiving and Bambi season. Did manage to get a nice 8 point buck this year.

On another note - my dad had to go to the emergency room the other night as he had blood in his urine, he has a kidney stone that has not passed yet. But when they did a CAT scan on Him his abdomin was showing some not so good looking Lymph nodes, as well as his prostate was very enlarged. He had me check the spot on his side when I was home and said he had it for about a month, I told him he should get it checked out and not wait. But that's my dad, he is stobborn!!!

He went for a follow up today with his doctor and they are thinking he may have lymphoma!!! Not good, he is going in on Monday for a PET scan and a biopsy and also see if they can get rid of his kindey stone unless it passes before that. He may then have to go for radical surgery from there. So I would like to know if all of my fishing community friends would say a prayer for him.

I will most likely be driving back down to PA tomorrow or in a day or so and will keep you posted, I just really wanted to get a prayer chain started for him right away. Thanks so much everybody.

I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Done Julie.........I think of your mom and dad on occasion when my mind revisits our stays in Dodge's Hole for so many years. I will think of him more often until he is well.

Hi Everybody, I just want to take a second and THANK YOU ALL for your thoughts and prayers going out to my family and my dad. You are all a great bunch of fishermen and fisherwomen and my family and I really appreciate it.

Well things changed over the past couple of days, Dad passed his Kidney stone a couple of days after I posted this so that was a big relief and his back pain subsided. This was the night I was getting ready to drive down to PA. SO I put a hold on driving down as they may or may not do surgery right away on him. So mom and I decided to hold off for a few more days.

He went in today for a CAT Scan instead of the PET scan and they also took several needle biopsies from the mass in his pelvis. The proceedure went fine and they are keeping him overnight for observation as well as an Xray tomorrow on his Kidney as it looked distorted the other day and they want to make sure it is OK>

We have no results yet on the biopsies but hopefully will hear something tomorrow. I will let you all know what I find out, and thank you again for all of your prayers.

jules,

Want to tell you that I met your Mom and Dad
fully suited up in waders at Oregon Beach a few
years back. Great folks and can see where your
fishing skills came from. Glad all is well.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
