Day 2

Went up to visit Dad today and greeted him with, "so, they put you back in the slammer, eh?" and he said, "yep, back in the big house".

Too bad you don't get time served for good behavior in that joint. Anyways. Dad seems to be holding up, but it's only day 2. It had to be hard to hear that he had to go back in the hospital for another round of chemo yesterday especially when we had so much planned as a family in the next week before he was supposed to go back in (May 10th originally).

Today, we learned, that after this round of chemo, they hope to send him home for a week or two before re-admitting him in mid-June to do a fourth round of chemo which will be the prep for the transplant. More chemo.....ugh.

The doctor yesterday, my Mom said, was still very positive and said that he is still very much in the fight with my Dad on this. Basically, don't give up hope.

Today was a pretty good day overall - Dad felt good, is very active, ate great, and is doing his thing at the hospital. Let's hope for a lot of these kind of days! : )

Prayers to you! Good night!
