1 Day at a Time!!!

Since my last post we have found out how much radiation dad will be getting!! Dad will be going through 30 days of radiation.  They will be attacking the lung tumor, and the spots they found on his liver!  On Tuesday we are going in to get his port put in (which is a device they will implant just under his skin on his chest so they won't have to keep poking him with needles in the arm. This will put the chemo straight into his bloodstream- many people are given this when going through chemo to make it easier and more convenient.).  Tuesday is also his first day of radiation, and they day we will find out how much chemo he will be getting too!  We will find out a lot of information on Tuesday and I will definatly keep everyone posted!!!

Dad has had a hard time sleeping lately.  He still has the cough every once in a while, but not as bad as it was!   We are still in the process of trying to find a hobby for him to do to keep him moving and occupied during this time! 

We are very excited for next weekend as well!  Although we will have a busy week before hand, we are so excited that my dads uncles (my great uncles) will be coming up to visit us for the weekend from Missouri!  We are excited and it should be really good for dad!!  And we are also hoping for a visit from an old neighbor sometime in the near future as well!  We are excited and extremely blessed to have all these people in our lives!!  I know Pat Carol (our old neighbor) is following this-we would love to see you!!!  And to Uncle Paul (I know your following too) we are very excited to see you and Uncle Charles next weekend!  Can you bring some crappie (fish) with you?!?!  I'm just kidding!!!!!

I have decided to end every blog with a quote, or prayer of some sort!  So to everyone take care and stay in touch!!!!

"Be strong now, because things will get better.  It night be stormy now, but it can't rain forever!"
