Christmas wish

Back from the Dr. I'm not really sure how my mom accomplishes these trips 5 times a week. I guess having -2 degree weather wasn't much help.

There are a few things going on for those of you that wish to click around and figure out what it all means. His platelets are low, which is a common problem for chemo patients. This makes him more susceptible to bleeding, and along with his coumadin issues it is a real concern.

Here is where I need some Christmas wishes. Dad is scheduled for another appt. on Christmas eve. However you can contribute.....lets hope that the tests done on that day don't mean that he will have to go to the hospital on Christmas. Granted...I would rather he be wherever he can be best cared for, but the Christmas spirit around the house is running a little low.

Thanks for your comments, well wishes, and prayers. I have been reviewing the visitor list here with him and I know if helps keep his spirits up.

Home...everyone

Sorry for the lack of info. lately. I've apparently been driving across Siberia. It is clear to me now why we moved to Florida. No offense to those of you that love snow.

I'm sitting here in Orion, having breakfast with Dad, and trying to figure out how they operate around here. Dad is doing....ok. He is obviously not his old self, but he is also kind of stuck in a rut a bit. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think he's pretty fed up with the whole ordeal. We are taking him to the doctor later to give my mom a break from the daily grind, and she is going to get a long needed massage.

Since I'm supposed to be working, I'll leave this as my update to everyone, but I'll check back in later after the appt.

0 degrees...seriously...
