Just a quick update for the day. Dad seems to be making small improvements but is still very weak and battling the side effects of the chemo. Blood counts are down, his weight is down, and our moods are down. He's not wanting to eat and who could blame him? It's counter-intuitive to try to force something down your throat when you have no appetite.
Mom did decide to come home today to take a break from the "fun". She's been such a trooper through all of this and its hard for her to break away. Love, duty, and commitment are strong bonds and leaving dad behind at the hospital is not easily done. Still, the kids and I convinced her to join us tonight at Central Park for the Community Band concert and movie in the park. I think it was good for her to get out and experience some normal life again. And talking about things with her friends is always good therapy!
As things progress, we'll keep updating the blog here, but we're in a holding pattern right now. Keep the prayers coming, please. And for all of you out there following this, please send a word of encouragement or two to dad if you get the chance. Every little bit helps.
Peace,
Ron2

Hi Farwell family, Dad just gave me the link to your blog so I've been reading and getting filled in on all the details. I just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you and praying daily for you.
Love, Jen McCloud
(& Josh & Colin & Quinn!)
