Well, another day past chemo S1R2 and things are making a turn upwards.
As you know the first week after chemo is the hardest as you have to go down before you go up (or better said "things always get messy before they get better"). Dad is doing well and with the exception of a pulled neck muscle is feeling relatively good.
He was able to get out on the porch yesterday and take a little stroll to get the muscles moving and remind them that they can in fact do stuff :-). Sat in the sun and wore his hat to keep the ol' cue ball from turning to the 3 ball (which of course is red).
I'll be heading home today so will post more if anything happens in between my rotations but otherwise stand by for the next post to occur after Chem S1R3 which is the last of this first series...that means only 6 weeks left until we find out how this all went.
Dad is a clean man now (meaning no hair on the top side) and since that has been done you can really see the resemblence between the two of us...so due to popular request...here is the picture of the clones.

As always I want to conclude by saying how grateful we are for all of you and your prayers, as well as how thankful we are to serve such a marvelous God.
In Christ,

2 handsome fellows for sure!!! Looks like Jim has put a little bit of weight back on - good to see.
ReplyDeleteGod is committed to caring for our needs; we really are his children. And so...We along with so many continue to pray for renewed health, pain free days, tender moments, time together, and an opportunity to seek and find an uninterrupted awareness of God.
With love,
Sue & Jeff
