3 Down, 3 To Go

Chemotherapy treatments that is...  Today dad completed his third round of chemotherpay (that is all but the shots he will receive for the next 10 days).  He had another long day at the hospital, but he is home now.  Dad has had a pretty bad cough for about the past week.  When the doctors heard the cough while dad was at the hospital today they ordered a chest x-ray.  Thankfully, the x-ray came back all clear.  We were a little concerned about pneumonia.  Dad has been such a sport throughout his treatment.  Even on the days that he is feeling bad he tries to stay positive and keep the end goal in mind.  This weekend dad was feeling pretty well.  He had a great visit with my Uncle Gene (dad's brother) who came in from Atlanta to see him.  Dad does get tired pretty easily, but after a short rest he is back up going again.  This week will be dad's bad week.  Starting about Thursday is when dad starts to feel pretty sick and weak.  This usually lasts through the weekend into the early part of the following week.  Please keep dad in your prayers as he faces the cruel reality of living with cancer.  We are so thankful that treatment is half way over and we continue to stay positive and believe that dad will be cancer free at the end of all of this. 

He who watches over you will not slumber...
