Tracy called and said that she had talked to the nurse, and that Dad was just finishing up his two hour dose of chemo. He tolerated it very well, and so far, so good.
I was able to get up there this afternoon after Tracy and the kids picked me up at the airport. Got up to the room, and noticed right away he had declined quite a bit in the month since I've seen him. Not a lot of energy, very soft-spoken, a bit pale, and definitely not moving his left side. He did enjoy a few bites of the Vic's Caramel Corn that I brought up (special request). He had a good dinner, and then the nurses were going to help clean him up and get him comfortable for the night.
It's good to be home. Grandma Max is staying up here with Mom and I this weekend, and despite the weather forecast, Emily and I are going in for pedicures this weekend as I promised her the last time I was home I would take her. I'm not about to break a promise to my four year old niece!

Devastating news! Your dad has fought so hard and so long. I refuse to give this cancer any power to win and am praying for another victory. Please tell your dad we all love him. Miracles happen and it's his turn. God Bless you all and give you strength to help Roger through this new challenge. Pat Wheeler
