Trip to the Hospital

Dad had to go to the hospital to get blood. They got there at 2:45 P.M. and left at 1:00 A.M. Mom said it was a little much, a lot much. The Dr. was really happy because his platelets were going up on their own and his white blood is up due to the shot he gets. He is pretty sure he is going to go to New Orleans with Mom, Val and Annette for their trip to the Award ceremony. He will find out for sure tomorrow. He starts his next round of Chemo on July 1st.

Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Fathers Day to all those dads out there. Our Dad is doing well. He is recovering slowly but surely. Thursday was really his only good day. Friday and Saturday were kind of rough. He has his good days and his bad days, his good moments and his bad moments. He had a hard morning but his afternoon went well. A funny story... he was outside grilling a sweet potato and he noticed some movement out of the corner of his eye. Nana has been complaining about squirrels eating the nuts of the walnut trees and making messes, so Carson told her he would catch them. Well..., Nana had already tried that so she told him if he could catch them she would pay him 5 bucks a piece. Well..., Not only did he catch two but they were raccoons not squirrels. Needless to say we now know who has been making all the messes.

The Recovery

Dad has kind of had a hard day today. He has been feeling pretty sick. He said he was worried he would have to go back in the hospital and got all worried about it and when the doctor told him he didn't he was happy but his body was still all in knots. Poor Dad. When I talked to him he was just hanging out in his Lazy Boy. Hopefully this will pass soon he is pretty miserable.

Home Again

Well Dad went home from Kansas last Tuesday and started Chemo Wednesday. But he is home from that now. He is doing well. Just sometimes doing to much physically. He is feeling pretty good. His numbers haven't bottomed out quite yet but are on there way so he can build them back up. He just finished his third round, and will start a new round in about 21 days. He appreciates all the visits and phone calls. Mom is working her little heart out on the yard and at her job with the town.

We are in Kansas

Sorry this has taken so long. I told Tina I would be on the ball but as you can see I am not. I guess that is what you get with a new born but he sure loves Grandpa.

Dad came to Kansas for Trevor's baby blessing. It has been so much fun to have him here and so nice for him to get away. He is doing well. He was really sick from the flight out and we have worked him hard shopping almost every day but other than that he is doing great. Dad and mom fly home tomorrow after there 5 day vacation and he goes into Chemo on Wednesday.
