We checked into Karmanos this morning for the beginning of Dad's second treatment cycle. Dad's labwork looked good. His hemogolbin was a tad low but they are keeping an eye on it. Overall, as stated before, his doctors are pleased about his general health after the first treatment. A few issues, but no major side effects. Dad's hair is even growing back from the low cut he received last week!
This treatment will take the entire week. Two different chemo drugs will be administered this week. (there were three on the first cycle) There is a total of five in all. Dad is in good spirits. He even dressed up this morning for his big event :-) But you know my Dad, unless he's down on the farm in Promise Land, he's always dressed for the occasion.

My trip will probably be cut short this week because Tiffany begins 4th grade on Wednesday. I could have made her my traveling buddy this trip b/c she's home schooled, but she possesses a tad more energy than I can take when I need to focus on Dad's health matters.
Please keep Dad and Mom in you prayers this week. Post, Post, Post all your wonderful comments. I'd hate for him to get bored this week since he has no puzzle of Promise Land School.
Hey family, we are back from California and Tennessee, and glad to hear that treatments are working well and the updates are good. The picnic as usual was the picnic. Numerous folk ask about Uncle Lo, and how he was doing and some folk did not know about his illness, so for those who did not, he was just not able to make it. The pig was good, they had plenty for once, it was hot but as always good to see those we have not seen. So reality begins on tomorrow, work! school starts Wednesday so that means homework starts for me to, assisting. Still working on the letters in regards to Promise Land I only spoke to those I seen in TN about it. So hopefully, we will have some reading material for Unc to read. Continuing in prayer. Love you all, Biddy and Olivia

ReplyDeleteHey Biddy and Olivia, Dad says he is doing fine and feeling fine. He really missed the Picnic down in Charlotte and the school reunion this year. He missed seeing all of you down there. He said tell all he said hello. He loves you and thanks you for your prayers and blog comments.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sha Sha,my first born grandchild: I hope this message finds you in good health and doing fine. Today is a good day in the hospital and I feel great. I walked a half mile in the hospital hall this morning. I hope you have a good day Sheronda and I appreciate your prayers and I love you VERY much.
These remarks are Dad's words typed as he spoke.
Thanks guys for the post.
