Not much to report today. My Dad is finally getting a little bored. He felt so bad for so long that he didn't even care, but today he said he was bored. He was lobbying for hall priveleges again on the 5th floor and wasn't making much progress when I talked to him at noon. Hopefully, he managed to get his "outback steakhouse" monitor back by this evening (that's the heart monitor that he can move around with, it's not secured to the wall, but on a beeper that looks like the buzzer you have at a restaurant while you wait for a table. He dubbed it the outback steakhouse monitor way back when), but they were still monitoring his heart rate very closely. At noon, his heart was at 72 beats per minute, down from the 144 the other night.
He was considering ordering lunch when I called, so hopefully, he did. His appetite is returning, slowly, so I'm hoping that any side effects this chemo will present won't interrupt that progressive improvement.
Keep the prayers coming and the positive thoughts. We appreciate everyone's support.
