it has been too long since my last post. my apologies. so let's pick up here and move on. thanks for following us along on this journey and lending your support to my dad and our family.
instead of recapping everything that has happened in the last 2 weeks, i'll give you the highlights:
dad has had to temporarily hold off on his chemotherapy due to low platelets. he had a platelet transfusion last week, and on tuesday, which went well. he also gets dehydrated easily, and has to be re-hydrated at the infusion center at ucsd from time to time. the radiation has continued, and leaves him very exhausted.
he is continuing to see small improvements in the mobility in his left arm and leg. we are so encouraged by these tiny pieces of progress. the doctor feels that the tumors must be shrinking in order to be recovering some movement.
dad only has 4 more radiation treatments to go!!! on the last day of his radiation he will be allowed to ring a big brass bell that hangs on the wall in the waiting room. we have been waiting for that day and are really excited for it be here.
thank you to everyone for your prayers, words of encouragement, and your loving concern. our family has been blessed by you all in countless ways.
through all of these trials we continue to be reminded of our Heavenly Father's love for us. He is aware of our every movement, and our every need. He is blessing us and holding us up during this difficult time.
if you would like to, please feel free to leave a comment below. my parents love reading your notes of encouragement.
