Update on Amy's Dad Paul 7/9/18

This posting is a little late but Amy's mom shared more news about Paul's progress in mid-June:

Update on Paul: Paul is doing so well that he would like to think that he doesn't have cancer anymore. Unfortunately, the pain tells him that he still does. He continues to gain strength and has not been as tired as he was at the beginning. On a good note, he was able to go a good 3-4 weeks without seeing a doctor. Two months ago, he was seeing a doctor at least 3-4 times a week. In the next few weeks, he will have one appointment a week with various doctors. We are looking for good results. This month, Paul was able to attend 2 graduation parties and was able to stay for a few hours to enjoy the visits. Just as a precaution, he did take extra pain meds. to compensate for any unwanted pain that might have occurred. He was fine after each party. There are three prayers that Paul would ask for: 
#1 His main goal right now is to be able to walk his youngest daughter, Hannah, down the aisle on her wedding day later this year
 #2 along with that he would like to walk her down the aisle without any apparatuses needed: a walker, a wheel chair, a cane, etc.
 #3 And most of all, he does not want Hannah to be holding him up while they walk down the aisle together, he wants to be holding her as they walk down together. 
Thank you for your prayers/ good thoughts. We so appreciate them.
