He is currently on liquid diet because of obstructions.  When he has bowel movements they are just blood and mucus.  I live about 500 miles from him and have 3 children.. I want to be with my dad but what do I do???  I talk with him daily and my step mom keeps me greatly informed.  My dad is only 63 yrs old and I am the only child.  I was there is December when he received his diagnosis.  Any helpful hints from anyone I would appreciate it.  I have enjoyed reading the message boards so far.  Thanks again and may God bless you.  Donna Dobellez Fri, 09 Feb 2007 00:00:00 GMT
