two weeks ago, dad started his chemo treatments - one a week for two weeks in a row, one week off. this week was supposed to be his week off of treatment. no treatment but a stay in the hospital instead. the severe side effects from the chemo caused major dehydration and fever [a sign of possible infection]. so monday night, he went to the ER to get it checked out and he has been there since. side effects have not subsided much and the doctors have him on a liquid diet to keep him hydrated.
mom celebrated her birthday this year - as last year - in the hospital with dad. ironically, in the same room at the same hospital as last year! but this time, the kids and i cheered them a bit by bringing flowers, balloons, cards and a dinner of in-n-out [just a strawberry shake for dad!] in order to celebrate!
please continue to pray for dad's healing and progress. some good news: the bumps on his face and neck have decreased in size significantly. thanks to those of you who have been praying for him.
