Latest Appointment

Dad had a visit with the oncologist yesterday and he thinks everything is going well. The skin rash and body ache Dad has is from GVHD (graft-versus-host disease). The doctor altered his medication a bit and also added something to help with the GVHD.

We are thankful for the positive reports and pray for continued strength and health.

Dad's sister Helen is healing from her surgery and awaiting the start of chemo. For further updates please check out her blog at helenshealthupdate.blogspot.com

Restful Summer

There is not much new to report which really is a blessing. Dad is still in recovery mode and takes it easy for the most part. He went for a skin biopsy a few weeks ago and we are still waiting for the results on that. Dad is itchy sometimes and has very dry and sensitive skin. They have given him a special cream for this and this does help some.

He and Mom are enjoying the summer visiting with friends and family and spending a few weekends at their cottage.

With the two new babies added to our family this summer Mom and Dad got the itch to have their own 'baby' and are very much enjoying their new dog Pepper.

That's all for now; thank you for keeping Dad in your prayers.
