Week 3 Update

Dad was scheduled to have his 2nd round of chemo treatments today and tomorrow, but he's had a change of plans. He is flying to Houston on Sunday to finish up the tests (neurological tests). After finishing his tests on Wednesday, he will most likely start his first 5-day chemo treatment in Houston. The new chemotherapy regimen will require a 5-day stay in the hospital every time he receives the treatment (yuck). The frequency will still be every 3 weeks. It is a more aggressive form of chemotherapy, but with that comes a better outcome with most patients. We'll know more on Wednesday what will happen, but he'll probably be in Houston for about 9 days. We're so glad that Dane and Emily are there!

Dad is feeling good and getting more energy each day. His hair (yes, he does still have some) is really starting to fall out, but he looks great. KC and I are here for the weekend, and Brooklyn and her girls just left on Tuesday after spending a week with them. Life is good!
