We are at our second chemo treatment as we speak!!! Dad is more tired than he has been, unfortunately! But that could also be because of the benydryl they gave him! He has been getting more sleep since the doctor prescribed a little stronger cough medicine! We also found out today that he has 23 more radiation treatments left and then we are done with that mess!! We are also very impressed with how well everyone helps out and how informative everyone is here at the cancer center! My dad actually knows one of the volunteers and he comes and visits us when we are here! So it makes for a nice day to see a friendly face! The nurses here have started calling me 'the boss.' They give me all of the paper work and know if my dad forgets something I either have it or know it! :-) I try to stay up on everything so if they need to know something, I know the answer or I can find the answer within a decent amount of time! We are amazed at how much we all are learning through this whole process!! Its school all over again!
We have noticed that dad has been having more good days than bad days lately! On Sunday him and my mom went out for breakfast with some friends, and went for a drive later on! It was great to see him up when they stopped by my work!! All of us girls included have been dealing with it better and talking amongst ourselves to share feelings! It really has helped us all! I'm sure we all have our moments, but for the most part we are all doing great!
I would like to send out a bunch of thanks! First off to TDM-Dads work!!! We all greatly appreciate everything!! And to Garrett Graham-thank you so much for help on dads truck!!!
I don't have a cute quote or poem for you today... I will have two for you all next time!!! Thank you again for everyone praying and thinking of us in this time!!!!
Have a great day!!!!
Thoughts and prayers are with ya brother Joe. Stay strong, stay faithful.
