Amanda I just made it over to this thread (been behind in my reading) and I am so pleased to hear the great news about your dad's prognosis!! I too am very happy that he will be able to stay at the lodge and it's wonderful to hear he has made friends. Will he eat there - like a cafeteria style or does he have to go out on his own for meals? You are your mom sound like such wonderful people and I know your dad will be needing you a lot during this time.
