My dad is cancer free!

[Parakeet Jones 3,733]

I posted in a thread or two from this past season that my dad wasn't going to be able to attend any games this past year due to chemo. Well, he got word today that his latest scan is clear. It was tough not having him make the run up 37 with me this winter, but he's going to be back and ready to roll next year though. Let's just hope Yogi is back too.

Thanks to all of you who said a prayer for him.

Absolutely! They want him to take one more precautionary test and he told them not to schedule it for May 15 because we are heading up to practice that day. He knew making an IU game was going to be tough this year, but he always said he would be good to go by Indy.

Just so you know, his grandson's favorite game is to get his little IU basketball and have someone pick him up so he can dunk on his IU goal that hangs on his door.
