Yesterday, Dad's progress was little by little, but now we're seeing big leaps! Dad did so well today. He walked around his room and ate like a king. We're so happy for him and his progress. He has a more consistent smile on his face, too!
Dr. Jordan, his oncologist, visited the room today and gave Dad the full low-down. She said that his infection was one of the worst that she's seen and there will be no more chemotherapy. PET scans and CAT scans in the first part of November will tell us what the chemo has done and what we can expect in the future.
Dad still has some time in the hospital, but we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. He did receive platelets, magnesium, potassium, and sodium chloride last night, but today he was down to one tube and sodium chloride. He will be on his vancomycin for about 4 weeks, which is a long time for this medicine.
Thanks for all of your good wishes, prayers, and love. They have been a tremendous help in this process. We now know what the resurrection will be like!
