dad

Dad let Gregg get down the walker last Thursday and he is using it. We are all thankful as he is much steadier walking with it. He is still very weak and not sleeping the best.
Dad made it through his 2nd chemo treatment on Tuesday, September 2. He met with the oncologist 1st and was told that the coughing (12 hours straight) last Thursday was not a side effect of the chemo. He gave him some different cough medicine with codeine in it, we are hoping it helps. He had his 2nd dose of taxotere and did well. He also found out that is cancer is stage 1 which is promising because it means it is totally enclosed in the lungs. He is still very tired but enjoyed all the family members that visited him this weekend. He was also entertained by Karleigh today as she and Heather came over for a visit. We continue to be hopeful that the chemo will slow down the cancer. He will have blood work next week and another Chemo treatment as well as blood work on the 16th of September. He is such a good patient as it takes almost 3 hours for the treatments. Blessings, Michelle
