Emotional Rollercoaster!

This is my Dad in his swimsuit and cowboy boots!
So, for those of you who don't know my Dad (Gordon) received an MRI last November that showed that he had a tumor on his spine. He finally went in to get the surgery today, they were going to remove the tumor and it was going to be a very serious surgery, since the tumor was on his spine. So, we were all worried, and prayed a lot. Well, they did another MRI yesterday to check and see where the tumor was and what they would need to do for the surgery. My parents got the results this morning that there is no tumor! They had driven all the way to Boise and made arrangments to be gone for five days, and the surgery was cancelled. He still needs back surgery, because there is disk material there (don't really know what that means), but the doctors wouldn't do it today. So, basically we have been worried about this tumor for about six months, and poof it's gone! He has been on a speical diet (no potatoes, no tomatoes) to get rid of the tumor, and he has been doing other homeopathic things, and I guess it worked. Who really knows?!?
