The end is in sight...

Hi guys...
So i think that there was a misunderstanding... I thought mom said that Joy was going to update y'all on how things were going but I see I was mistaken.

Last week as a bit of a hard week as dad had a treatment and his blood was going all wonky... all to do with the thickness of his blood. He was to the doctor and he said the he should go to emergancy the next morning (because all the clinics were closed for Thanksgiving weekend) to get something to fix the problem. The numbers don't mean much to me but maybe some of you understand. So on Friday the number was something like 4.6 -- that is as high as they like it to go. Then by the time he got to the hospital it was up to 6.2 and then eventually it went at high as 9. So they gave him something to lower the number (aka. thicken his blood). On Monday he was feeling quite bad (tired too) so he went and had it checked again and and it was down to 1.2... too think now. So yeah the doctors have been playing with his blood some... you can pray that they get it right!!! Dad wasn't feeling well enough to do a thanksgiving dinner so they just stayed in! They did appreciate the invite out though!!! I'm sure that they will take you up on the offer again sometime soon.

So after last week's chemo trreatment dad has one more to go... it's not this week but next... and then its over. It's been a long haul. Thanks for sticking this out with us... it is greatly appreciated!!! I'll keep you posted as i know more. I think mom said that the last treatment is next Wednesday!

Thanks for your interest and prayers....
For the Crew - Amy
