Today was one of the best days my Dad has had since being out of the ICU! My dad was able to move from his bed to a chair in his room for about an hour this morning, then he had a very successful physical therapy session in the afternoon and walked around his room a little. In previous days, he has had periods of disorientation (side effect of the chemo) and hardly had any of that today! He felt better in general, hardly any stomach ache, no vomiting, no nausea, no fever or chills. He was able to eat more than in most previous days, and kept it down! What a blessed day, thank you Lord!
Dad was low on potassium and platelets so he received both of those today. More great news is that his infections have cleared and he is able to undergo a bone marrow biopsy tomorrow performed by Dr. Nguyen, his oncologist. The results of this test will be in by Friday hopefully - they will render whether his cancer is in remission or if there are leukemia cells being produced. This is a big week waiting for these results and we would greatly appreciate your thoughts and prayers for a clear bone marrow biopsy!!!
Please let your father know everyone at Rock Bottom is sending your dad prayers his way! Blessings to your family!
