6.5 Weeks

Dad & Korben just relaxing

Dad has been in Methodist about 6.5 weeks now.  Time flies and it stands still.  Dad had his second chemo and his counts were low for a couple days following that, but they gave him some shots to boost those and now his counts are back to normal.  Yesterday, they had to check his port via x-rays so at the same time they did a CT scan to see how the cancer is responding to the chemo.  We were hoping that they would have some results from that today, but so far we haven't heard anything other than that they are also going to do a MRI this afternoon.  Possibly tomorrow we will then find out how things are progressing.  Being patient is so hard for me, I want to know, I need to know what progress has been made and what the plans for the imediate future are...I think it makes me feel more in control over a situation I have no control over.

I look at Facebook in the morning usually before I start the day and I saw this post on one of my friend's page "fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand"  He also had a prayer for his father, which I am copying and adapting a bit for my Dad, because it fits so perfect...God I come to you a humble servant, asking you to guide the doctors decisions for a complete recovery for my father.  Hoping there is a sense of serentiy and peace over my family.  I thank you for all you've done and continue to do.  I will pray hard but walk with faith even more...I can't help but feel better after reading that, I believe when we do get the results we will have positive results.
