Day 17

I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Fourth of July!

We had a very slow day and I think the kids enjoyed just doing NOTHING. We've been on the run since I can remember.

Dad was very tired yesterday, so I know he didn't want much company. He and Mom just hung out and I think he dozed off and on all day. I don't think there is much new to report. We are battling his lack of interest in eating, or moreover, my Mom is battling it. It drives her nuts. Dad just says everything tastes weird or bad, so he doesn't want it. That combined with just all the anxiety and I really think, depression, makes for a grumpy Grandpa. I can't blame him. We are all reaching a breaking point for sure. It's been so long and really, just so long without any GOOD news.

I think if we could just get some positive news about anything, we'd all perk up a little. Right now, the doctors just say everything is going as expected - so no good news, but also no BAD news. I guess that is what we should be thankful for!

I had great plans to take the kids to the zoo today before I realized it is still the holiday weekend technically which means parking will be nuts and my chances of losing someone in the crowds increases exponentially - so we ditched that plan. We are trying to have one of those elusive LAZY Days of Summer kind of day - well, that is until swim practice later this evening. : )

Have a great day. Thanks for praying for us and for all cancer patients. God Bless.
