Today was a busy day. I went on Quinn's field trip to the zoo in the morning and Carl took the little ones to preschool. He was snack sneaker for Lydia's class for her birthday too! : )
I left the zoo around 1:10 and went to see Dad at the hospital. He was sitting up in his chair when I arrived. I thought he looked great, but he was a litle discouraged today because his nausea hasn't dissipated and his blood pressure was giving the nurses fits. At one point it was 80 over 40! That is not good.
I stayed a while, visited, took a walk with my Mom, and headed home to finish the birthday dinner and get the birthday festivities in order.
Yesterday, his blood came back good and no blasts were present. YEAH. That's all good. I just wish this dizziness issue would subside.
Lydia had a great day though. I can't believe she is 5. She's thrilled, of course. I'm in denial, myself. Probably a good place to be. : )
Thank you for checking in. Keep the prayers alive and well - pray not only for my Dad, but for all afflicted by illness. As I was leaving the hospital a young man was leaning on his father while he walked to the car. His mother was in front of him and he was very unsteady. You could tell he was a skeleton under his clothing. He wore a mask to protect him from germs. He could just as well have leukemia as anyone and probably did. He looked so frail, so young, so sick. I lifted up a prayer right behind him as I made it through the building to my car. I just know God has a purpose in our lives, but I don't know why these illnesses consume so many and become the cross to bear for so many families? What purpose is there in this suffering? In any suffering?
Anyways, not to be Debbie Downer, but pray for all who are sick. Please. It really was a wonderful day otherwise. : )
