Well, the end of the Holidays is fast approaching and even though I have not been at work I have not managed to find the time to blog. Since I last wrote my father has VERY SLOWLY been showing improvements in his health and healing; it is like one step forward and three steps back.... literally. We went to see them on the 26th and he was having a yucky day... tired and just wanted to sleep.... I was able to get my mom who was also tired out of the apartment and take her out to dinner. I think that she really enjoyed that.
Since we visited them my mom has been taking him out of the apartment each day on little excursions; drive thrus, grocery stores, banks, or just for car rides to get him out and about. I really think that this is a great idea and that they BOTH need a change of scenery; it is good for the physical, mental and spiritual mind. At the last appointment with the transplant doctor my dad found out that his leukemia is in remission (PRAISE GOD!!!) and that he just needs time; LOTS OF TIME to heal. The transplant doctor said it would most likely be summer before he would be ready and strong enough for another round of chemo to bring him down to neutropenia and ready for the transplant. My dad has a really LONG road ahead of him but thanks to all of you and your prayers I know that he can make it down this long path. If God sees you to it, he will see you through it!!
I am looking forward to a much better 2009 in many areas of my life; but most especially for my mom and dad. 2008 pretty much stunk!
I am attaching a few festive pics from the holidays with my children!
