MORE PROGRESS

Thanks to Mom's mad cooking skills and endurance, Dad has put on about 12 pounds since he came home from the hospital. Mom has put 3 Ensures a day in front of him and feeds him whatever meals his appetite calls for. She's amazing!

Dad is feeling really good and starting to get around well. Brooklyn came from Thursday through Tuesday and had a great time with them. Mom and Dad loved it, too. Dad was able to go on a few short outings while Brooklyn was here, which really boosts him. As for work, Dad's boss has been very protective of Dad and doesn't want Dad back at the office until we find out from the MD Andersen doctors what's going on. Mom and Dad will be there for tests starting next weekend. We are anxious to know what's going on inside Dad's body.

Mom is "lucky" enough to be due for another colonoscopy to see if all is well with her. She is a pro at this by now, but it doesn't make it any easier. She still gets a little bit of anxiety whenever she is tested and prodded to determine if cancer is lurking. We're optimistic that all will be well. Her colonoscopy is next week.

We're so grateful that Dad is responding to the antibiotics and feeling more normal, and we're so glad that he has Mom to feed him good, nutritious meals. We'll have more to share when they return from Houston. Thanks so much for all of the love and concern!
