Welllllll, I don't have anything great to report. I wish I did. Basically, they've messed with Dad's medications trying to get his blood pressure under control. We're still waiting on his blood counts to come up and for his biopsy results to come back. The holiday weekend put the biopsy results behind, I think.
Dad is pretty down. We're all pretty down. We really want him to get home soon for a bit. He is scheduled to go back in on June 16th to restart chemo for his transplant. Everyday he's stuck in the hospital, is a day less he has at home before the next stint which will be even longer than this one.
Dad is getting increasingly agitated by everything and who can blame him. A new set of doctors came on his case today - they rotate every two weeks. It's frustrating because you have to "break a new set in" all the time and Dad's getting tired of that. They all have their own opinions and theories and frankly it's getting old. Yesterday, apparently Dad's heart monitor went off and the new doc who came in asked if he's ever been "shocked" to get his heart back in rhythm. My Dad and Mom about flew off the handle at that one. SERIOUSLY! He has no other symptoms when he goes a-fib - it settles shortly thereafter, it's nuts.
Anyways, I'm really hoping to get good biopsy results tomorrow so that they will consider giving Dad a growth hormone to give his white cells a jump start.
Please pray for renewed strength and energy on my Dad's part, on my Mom's part. It's grueling hanging out at the hospital day in and day out. If you can visit, do it. If you can call, do it. Please.
Love and blessings to you and yours.
