Hello & good morning to all! I apologize for the days in between...it's because life has been good & not horrible (when things are on the positive slope, it's easy to get caught up in it & forget to update the blog - I truly am sorry to all of you).
Dad is still doing great. He's been going on walks around the floor in the hospital, he's been sitting up for different stretches of time, he's eating, he's able to watch tv, & is able to talk. He does keep getting those darn hiccups, but the nurses are quick to give him the drug that is supposed to help them subside. As of last night late....dad is still on target to get home late this afternoon. They are going to treat the nausea very aggressively this time. Hopefully they find the right mix of medications this time & dad doesn't have to worry about it at all.
& HOPEFULLY, the next post you get is from dad in the very near future. :)
Daddy & mommy....you're almost there....just a few more hours....NO MORE CHEMO!!!!! A big congratulations to making through it & for still having your sanity.
Congratulations to everyone that is continually checking in through this blog....we made it through as well. I know how hard it is to sit on the sidelines. To not be able to converse with dad, for those of us that see him frequently, it's hard to sit at home. Dad & mom are constantly in our thoughts & there is literally nothing we can do. Many times we feel helpless. But, despite what you may think....you have contributed to the success of dad's chemo. He & mom would not have made it through this extremely trying time without this incredibly strong & positive support group. This I am 100% certain about. Your emails, letters, posts, love, prayers, thoughts, walks, all the little things each individual has done are truly amazing. Dad, mom, & our family are blessed. Our lives are much richer thanks to all of you. The support you have given mom, dad, & us kids is astounding. So, thank you, & know that we mean it from the bottom of our hearts.
All of our love to you & your families - The Careys
