Today my dad had the ultrasound... he has about a million gallstones! The Dr. was amazed by the amount! It looks like there are so many that they are blocking the duct to the liver therefore he is very jaundice etc! He said that he has had a build of gallstones for years! There ARE 2 spots on his liver that they are going to check out via a CT scan tomorrow morning at 10. Then they will do surgery and remove the gallbladder and biopsy the liver while they are in there. We are so RELIEVED, my mom sounded like a new person when she called this afternoon, bless her heart! Anyway, I just wanted to share the WONDERFUL news and thank you ALL for all the prayers!
I am leaving EARLY tomorrow morning to drive up to Oakland to my nephews wedding... so I will post any other info that we get on Sunday night late or Monday... Again, that you for all your love, support and prayers!!!

So good to hear. I will pray that everything goes smooth for him. Hope he is "feeling" better real soon... he sounds like a very fun dad!
What wonderful news. If gallstones can be wonderful. But nonetheless. You found answers. I hope all the spots turn up to be nothing too. Have fun and be safe and give your dad a hug. I really did pray for him. I will be sending up a balloon for him on Saturday too.
Holy cow! It has been a few days since I have been to your blog so I was surprised to read all of this, especially your "out of right field" post. I don't think I knew ALL of that about your dad. CRAZY! Yes, that must be his big trial...his health. It is amazing to me how we are all dealt different trial, based on what we can handle. He has had a rough few years though. I am glad that things don't sound as serious as they originally did. We will keep him in our thoughts and prayers. Thanks for sharing and keep us posted.
Isn't the sunny morning after a storm such a fantastic contrast and blessing!!!! So happy for you and the fam to hear things might not be what you had feared - prayers your way for the surgery and test results after!!!
Thank you Lord!
We will keep your dad in our prayers. This is wonderful news...Hopefully the spots on the liver is just a shadow from the the gallstones. Nothing serious.
I'm so thankful for your Dad's good news! Have a safe trip and enjoy the wedding!
I'm SO glad to hear it and I hope all the news continues to be great news!!!
That is great news {considering the alternatives}.
Everything will be ok....i just know it.
GREAT NEWS!...wait not that gallstones can be great news...dang those little buggers hurt like heck! But hopefully they can do the surgery with the scope and then there are just a few little holes...the healing time is really quick. I'm so glad things look brighter for you and your family today. We'll still keep praying for the best!
What a difference a day makes. Lots of love to your dad. I feel as though I got to know him a little. Lucky me for he is a wonderful person. Enjoy the wedding. m
Never before have Gallstones been such a blessing! I'm so glad for your family.
Wow. How horrible and great all at the same time. Iknow gall stones are removed so easily these days.
Have a safe trip and a fun time at the wedding.
I am so relieved! I hope and pray removing the gallbladder will help his liver. your mom emailed me yesterday and I know she's been worried. I hope she's doing better now too. We'll be praying for him! We love him and all of you!! Love and prayers, Kelley
