Hanging in There

Dad is in the middle of his chemotherapy treatments this weekend, and he's handling things well so far. His platelet count is still rising, but the doctors aren't too concerned. Dad's platelet count is around 1100 (normal is 150-400), but the doctor said he won't do much more unless Dad's count approaches 1500. The chemotherapy should start to kill off platelets at some point, so we'll see where he's at before he leaves the hospital on Tuesday. Dad is stable and feeling much better than he did earlier this week and last week.

Jordon, me, and the kids are here for the long weekend, and it's great being together. Jordon and Dad watched about 4 college footballs games yeserday, complete with the big, yellow popcorn bowls! Maybe college football will get Dad through this!
