Currently dad's palliative care team is trying to transition his pain medication from injection to a patch, with the hope that he is able to return to Langley in the coming week. Until today this transition has not been smooth, however with some experimentation by the team, and suggestions from dad, they have succeeded in providing him with a pain free day in which no pain medications were needed by injection (breakthroughs)!
Dad's brother Harry, and his sister Mary flew in from Edmonton on New Years Eve to visit for the day. His sister Christine has been here for a week, with one day remaining in her visit. This time spent with his siblings has been difficult, yet a blessing as they have been given the chance to say all the important things that need to be said.
As dad's pain finally seems to be getting under control, we will finally be celebrating Christmas as a family in the hospital tomorrow, before Michael returns to Victoria to commence a new semester of his studies.
Once again, we thank you for all your prayers, concerns and well wishes. (As well as all the delicious food we have been receiving!)

Hope you had a good day together. Michael, all the best as you start your next semester.
