Hello all! It has been 8 days in the hospital for dad's fourth chemo round, and he is very ready to be discharged...which he will this afternoon. He took three doses of chemo out of the scheduled six, as you read from our last post. The doctors say that the amount he did receive should still fully take the bone marrow all the way down, which is the goal so he can begin producing new, clean and cancer free blood cells.
After the chemo was stopped his neuro effects subsided and his 103 constant fever finally broke. He has spent the weekend recouping and getting strong enough to walk and get around so they can go home.
He and my mom will now for 2 or 3 weeks be driving back every other day for check ups and blood products.
We will continue to update you during his recovery period.
Thanks again for all the prayers!! Please know how appreciated each of them are.
