Update

Dad is doing fair after surgery to remove the abscess from his abdomen.  It was basically a balloon of infection pressing against his colon.  Fortunately, it was not a mass in the colon itself which is good.  Some of the infection did seep into his body, so he is on powerful antibiotics for the next few days.  He is in the hospital in Jackson, but if you know my dad, he doesn't really want company or a fuss.  If you want to send a card, send it to Jack Norrid, 617 East Park Street, Alamo, TN 38001, as he should be home by Friday.

My health issues continue as well.  I am still vomiting daily and no one seems to understand why.  This is, of course, affecting my medications and my medications are affecting the vomiting.  Kinda a chicken or the egg thing.

We appreciate your prayers and thank you all for your acts of kindness.

Hoping for a easier next couple of days,
-Will

P.S.  Thanks to Roe Nell, Sr. for the ride to Nashville and for cleaning up after I got sick all in the car...
