Well, this was a nice weekend at the Fikac household, had just a little bit of down time and time to recoup before the next week begins, got the Christmas lights up, the house finished (decorated), the weeds pulled in the backyard, presents bought and wrapped, and the garage cleaned out. I feel like I accomplished a lot; I was even able to take a short nap. WOW!
Duane's team got third in the Reisel tournament and he was able to spend some time with us today; this coming week will definitely be crazy though; Monday - basketball, Tuesday - basketball, Wednesday - church and doctor, Thursday - basketball, Friday - basketball! I am just about basketballed out and the boys are only practicing at this point. My boys don't begin their games until January and we are traveling to other towns for them on Saturdays.....
I talked to my parents a couple of times this weekend. My dad is definitely getting his appetite back even though he only eats half of what he orders. He told me that he is beginning to dream about food and is getting the energy to go to places to eat (while in his wheelchair of course). Yesterday he was craving a roast beef sandwich with horseradish sauce from Quizno's so that is what my mom went and got for him.. he ate half of a six inch sandwich. I can tell that he is getting stronger in the tone of his voice; and his wild sense of humor is returning each day! My mom is doing well, adjusting to taking care of him. His nurse who was helping him shower is no longer coming so my mom has been helping. But, his other nurse still comes each day to help dress his wounds and make sure he does not fever. This Thursday they are really excited because he has an appointment with the transplant doctor to see what the next step is for him in regards to his transplant. They will also find out if there are any "blasts" in his bone marrow; since his blood was okay.
Once again, God bless all of you who actually read this blog. I know that your thoughts and prayers were what helped my dad to survive.. Until next time, bye bye~!
