Hooray! First Cycle Completed

Dad completed his first cycle of chemo last night around 11:12 p.m. !!! Mom and I celebrated.  Dad didn't say much. We all prayed and praised and thanked our God for His awesome mercy and grace.  Dad did not get sick one time. They do medicate you for such things, but some still get nausea. He has also had a very good appetite while here.  Normally he doesn't eat very much at all.  Last night we found out that the steroid in one of the meds probably enhanced his appetite.  Mom and I didn't know what had happened to him, we were beginning to think that Mom had lost her skills in the kitchen and now hospital food tasted better. :-)What ever the reason, we're excited.  He was told by his doctor that he could eat anything b/c they want him to keep his strength and weight up. His first request after being told that was; pork skins. Showing his Tennessee roots...
