Day 29

Yesterday, Dad's WBCs went up to 1.5, but his ANCs went down.

They did a biopsy yesterday afternoon - it went really well.

I visited this morning and Dad was really light headed and frustrated with it. He is losing body mass daily which concerns all of us. His arms are skinny. He's just skinny. My Mom is really trying to get him to "exercise" and he just can't. He does perk up in the afternoons usually, so I hope this afternoon was better.

When I left he was sitting in the chair eating a good lunch.

I think he's depressed and who can blame him. That, on top of all the other stuff going on, makes it hard to be motivated.

I am really hoping for a good blood count today to lift his spirits. We need some better numbers soon so we can bust him out of there and out in to the real world where the sun shines. You can only do flourescent lighting for so long.

Have a good, safe, Memorial Day weekend. If you think about it, call my Dad and wish him a good day - 314-747-6907.
