Updates & Tentative Dates
Dr. Beinart stopped by and visited with Dad & Mom on Monday, they are keeping a close watch on Dad's blood counts because he is a bit anemic. He let them know that this is fairly common with chemo but that if they do not go up by next week they will do a blood transfusion. They have also tentatively scheduled surgery to put the rods in Dad's legs. Right now we are scheduled for June 25. Very exciting because this means 1. The cancer is responding to the treatments and 2. It is a step toward Dad being able to return home. He will still be in the hospital a while longer but it is progress!

I know it's been a rough journey (I can't imagine), but I'm so happy to hear there is progress! Your blog entry brought to mind one of my favorite Bible verses that helped me through a tough time in my life (& everyday since) so I wanted to share:
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 41:13
For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you.
He has been there and will continue to be there through it all.
My thoughts and prayers are with you daily,
