Keep them close

When the road gets rough I hold them closer than ever.

I know I haven't posted an update about my Dad, but I'm finding it really hard to talk about it. One tumour was removed last week but has left him with speech difficulties. This coupled with mobility problems has taken it's toll on him.

Seeing your Dad in such a helpless state is heartbreaking but something that many of us have to face.

Please keep him in your prayers and thoughts.

My mind is also constantly on the people of Haiti, go here to find out how you can help. It's just devastating and hard to actually understand the enormity of what these people are facing.

Say a little prayer

My Dad is off to meet with Dr Charles Teo tomorrow. Dr Teo is has a highly regarded international reputation in the treatment of adult and paediatric brain tumors, skull base surgery, neuroendoscopy, and functional neurosurgery.

If you could say a prayer for my Dad and Dr Teo I would be ever so grateful. We are praying that Dr Teo can help my Dad with his condition. In the past few weeks, Dad has deteriorated and is now in a wheelchair after losing full function of his legs. It's devastating to see my Dad in that condition. He is only 57 and was surfing everyday a few years ago.

Keep him in your prayers.

My (brother) and my Dad, just one year ago. Father's Day 2008.
