Visited with Mom & Dad at the hospital earlier today. Took Dad a couple BBQd pork steaks to knaw on, a chocolate shake and some birthday cake of Lydia's. I hope he ate some of it for Dinner. He ate lunch while I was there and did great! The hamburger he had smelled soooo good.
He is still dealing with some dizziness and low energy levels - which that is normal. His white cells went up a tad today - from .1 to .2 - that could be the start of a good thing (which is his body bouncing back from the chemo). Let's hope it is.
Otherwise, he's working really hard to keep the fluid intake going so he doesn't have to go back on the IV bag, but if he does - he does. He seemed in good spirits and overall, doing okay.
Mom and I went to the Cardinal's game tonight and had a nice time. They lost, but oh well. It was just nice to enjoy the evening outside and her company. We always have fun together. We both agreed that this is not what we thought we would be doing at this point in either of our lives (dealing with leukemia), but that when you look around - even though our hand of cards isn't great, it could be much worse. Be continually thankful for each of your blessings.
Thanks for checking in - send up a prayer for the pork steaks to look appetizing to Dad so he'll eat them for strength. : )
