Dad not keeping much food down, and minor surgery scheduled for Friday.

Dad is having trouble keeping food down.  He had milk and 2 slices of toast mid-day or so today, but threw up a bit of it.  This evening he had some orange juice which seemed to stay down.  Hopefully he'll be able to find foods that can increase his calorie intake.
He feels like he may be starting to get weak from the lack of nourishment.  That makes getting to the store to try different foods a challenge.

Mom seems about the same or slightly better.  Physically she seems fine.  Mentally she still seems to have some memory issues. 

Dad is scheduled to have surgery this Friday early morning.  He will be getting the port installed which will allow the chemotherapy to be put into his veins.

Right now, Dad is miserable enough from the hunger / stomach discomfort that he at times hopes the surgery has some complication so that he does not make it.
Dad's misery is getting on Mom's nerves, but she has been holding together fairly well, biting her tongue on occasion.

Thanks for your prayers.
