Talked to dad again tonight briefly. The past few weeks have taken a lot out of him and he's been pretty tired. He had his I believe 4th spinal tap this afternoon and that should be it procedure wise for this round of chemotherapy. Now we're waiting to find out when he will be released and if he'll get to come back to Orion for a little bit before heading out to the Hawkey Healing Headquarters to begin another round of treatment. On a side note there is talk of him getting a port implanted in the coming weeks to aid in the overall process. As some of you reading this blog already know from past experiences a port is a good thing as it reduces the risk of infections associated with a PICC line or constant use of a veinapuncture IV.
On an administrative note, since we really don't know where dad will be week to week it is best to send cards and other notes to their house in Orion. We've got a system in place to get the mail collected, sorted and delivered to them no matter where they are in the two state region.
Hopefully the next post will be from dad while he sits in the comfort of their house, keep your fingers crossed!!!
