Dad is moving very slowly today. He said he just doesn't have any energy. He is really trying to eat, but it's not going that well. Just taking his medication takes it out of him. Sitting up about makes him fall asleep. They have taken away his pain pump completely because he wasn't using it. They are also going to discontinue his sleeping pill tonight and see if that perks him up any tomorrow.
There is a rumor going around that he may get to come home next week. His blood count numbers are going up really well, but he has to be eating better and moving around better.
Right now, for me, I'm marking his coming home as another milestone. Then the next milestone is getting through the next bone marrow biopsy. Once that huge hurdle is behind us, then we know what is next. The mounting anxiety I'm starting to feel is only held at bay by trying to reign in my brain from thinking too far ahead of itself. One day at a time, one hurdle at a time. I feel like all the tumblers will begin to fall into place and I have absolutely no control over how they will play out - that is very frustrating.
We again are thankful for all your prayers, please keep them coming - up them, if you can. Thank you for all your support and love.
