                                Yes unfortunately I didn’t want to put anything up yet until all the tests are back, but he has been in Vasser Bros hospital since last Friday about. May be back home by today but I was going to call him tomorrow. Seems like it is colon cancer. Our prayers and good thoughts go out to him.
