So, I walked in today and low and behold, he's bald! They had just shaved his head this morning. Shockingly, he has a nice bald head. Me, I'm not so sure I could carry the look off, but Dad does it nicely.
He said he thought he looked like the little guy in the Six Flags commercials! He kind of does!
Good news, he was talking! Yeah! The steroids and the pain meds were controlling his sore throat, swelling and tongue issues. His hands also looked great. Not perfect, but much improved.
They think he'll need blood and platelets tonight based on yesterday's numbers and that seems to be the pattern - a night with them, a night without.
He's still in semi-isolation due to the bacteria he has going on.
We did take a little walk with a rest at the half way point in the family lounge. We met another family who's story about their loved one just wanted to make you cry. They are dealing with so much more - which is hard to believe, but we all (Mom, Dad and I) came out of there thinking, we were the lucky ones! Again, irony is so ever present lately.
Say a prayer for that family tonight.
The biggest news of all was Dad ate half a pancake today! YEAH! That is half a pancake more than he's eaten in 2 weeks.
