Update on my dad, he is doing petty good considering what he has gone through. The did a baraum swallow last week and now we know where to put the elctrodes on his throat so that they can get certain parts to strenghten and start working. They are starting to feed him a little by mouth and getting him to talk a little. Thank you all for your prayers and hope that you will continue them they are helping. Also pray for me on Wendesday as I have a phone interview with a bank and maybe I will get the job and be able to get on with my life. Just got a call from Food Lion and I have a interview with them on Tuesday morning here I have been trying since October and now look at this. Possible checking on weight loss surgery again. I am not getting my hopes up to high yet.  Hope all of you had a nice New Years and will continue on your journeys to become healthier. I will let you know how things turn out for me later in the week. maybe these guys will help me.

Thanks Tink, I just have to keep up with the people at the nursing home to make sure they do right by my dad and he gets better. I would love to see him get better. I will get a job with Gods help and I am asking him to help me find the right one that I will feel good at. I will not give up on my dream no matter what happens or what people say and I do get some neg about it. Happy New Year to you
