Hi Everyone! Just a quick update. Dad had his blood counts redone and it appears that he was EXACTLY on the borderline number for recieving a transfussion. The doctor decided to not do the transfussion. The chemo therapy is still on hold due to his blood count. He continues to improve daily without being on the chemo. In laymen's terms, the chemo was really kicking his butt. The break from the chemo is a welcome one, however there is the concern about what are the ramifications concerning hte cancer about the delay in the full course of the treatment.
Things to pray for: - blood cell count to RISE!!
- blood clots in lungs to break down and disappear
- all cancer GONE!
- Dad's strength
- For wellness in body, mind and spirit.
- the return of energy
- good sleep
- the PICC line to stop getting clogged
Thank you for your prayers.
As you can imagine, this is a very trying time for dad. To not have energy and feel like himself is very upsetting.
Next weekend Amy and Jared will be flying in so our whole family (minus Dan in NC) will beable to be together.
I know we're all looking forward to it!
~Joy -for the family
