HEY EVERYBODY!

Hey, its Kerrie. Most of you already know that on tuesday, July 27 2010, my dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. They caught it at a good time, and he is doing alright. We decided to make a blog to inform you as much as we can on anything we know rather than making a hundred phone calls!
Current Greg Status: Awesome! went for a bike ride yesterday, and has been to work in the past week. went out for dinner last night and went camping (we didnt stay the night) last night with the Cloughs :) he's lost weight, but the yellowing from the jaundice has gone down A LOT which is good! although he is still itchy.
Upcoming Events: Wednesday, the 11th, we will be going to Ogden Regional for my dads surgery. It will be eight hours long, and he will have to be in the hospital for 10 DAYS!! The surgery will be to remove part of his pancreas, his gall bladder, and his lymph nodes. After the recovery they will start him on Chemotherapy and later radiation.
Special Thanks: To everyone who has been bringing meals and cookies!!! we really appreciate it! and love the cookies hahah. Cara, Cathy, Rod, Cindy and Paul, Rachel and Mike, My grandparents (both sides), Michelle and Ken, The girls in Young Womens, Karen Gardiner, Dave and Linda and Everyone else! And thank you for all of the supportive phone calls and letters(Jon)! We truly appreciate everything!

I will get back on during the surgery and after to keep you updated as much as I can, and I will also let you know when it is ok to visit!
In the mean time, if you have any questions either e-mail any of us or call or text us!
