In Nashville getting ready for the 6am check in

Tomorrow is the big day, with surgery at 8am. Dad got a milkshake before supper ;) Now it's clear liquids only. Lots of prayers are needed that the cancer is contained and only the planned upper 1/2 of his stomach and small portion of the lower esophagus will need to be removed. Karen is taking time from work to be here in the morning, which is huge since she is in the middle of the TVA outage, working 12 hour night shifts. Cindy will fly in at some point tomorrow. At some time tomorrow I will transfer all our luggage to the American Cancer Society house so we can stay there for seven days. What a blessing! Thank you Richard and Maggie Manning for driving me to my parents house today, and providing a much needed visit before we left. Thank you David Schonhoff for including him ( and Brent) in your prayer requests at your Church, and thank you St Jude Church for keeping Dad on the prayer request in the bulletin each week. Thank you to everyone who have been saying prayers and keeping in your thoughts. So far I have seen many positive results from them!
