Nothing new so far..

11 pm

Sorry for the delay...

Fathers day was nice - soon i think we may have to eat dinner in the pole barn or rent an airplane hanger or something - with 6 kids, 11 grandkids, various boyfriends/spouses, dad & ruth there - we are running out of room in the kitchen. I think our immediate family is larger than some extedned families! Dad was noticably tired Sunday, he went to church that morning. He tires easily, but it was good for him to go. He did still have energy to crack some of his *famous* jokes and tickle the grandkids. It was good to see him home and I think he was happy to be home.

Dad sounds well today, he said he felt like he could have gone to work - but he knew as soon as he got there he'd need to rest. I'm sure he is out of his element and misses showing off his particular "skills". I know he takes a lot of pride in clearing out the control room - those of you who know him well know what I mean ;)

He is eating and he says he has not gained back any weight; but hasn't lost any more either - which is good. He said he had more pain yesterday, but that is normal when it is just about time for a new pain patch. He is sleeping better with help from meds. He says he feels slightly stronger each day. I told him to make sure he doesn't over-do it & he assured me that when he gets tired, he takes on the roll of manager instead.

I know the Dr. has results from the PET scan, but Dad didn't know what they are yet. His bone scan is tomorrow afternoon. I am sure there are results from the liver biopsy too, however I guess he wants to wait until Friday's Oncologist appointment to find out everything. I am hoping that there will also be bone scan results by then too so we can get a handle on at least some of this.

I will update when I talk to him tomorrow after his scan - won't be until after 4 or so I'm sure.

Thank you so much for the person who commented, I never know if anyone is reading this thing or not. So I'm glad it is useful.

Keep up the thoughts and prayers!
