New Medication

Well it's been a long time since an update. Dad continues with his medication regimen and the side effects that come with those don't allow him to do a whole lot. There are days he feels good and then Mom & Dad hop in the truck and head out to see what they see. Other days Dad is very tired and just not feeling well.

In the last month Dad has had a cold and fever. It takes him longer to recover but we're happy to report that he's feeling better.

At his routine check-up last week the doctor reported that Dad's liver enzyme levels were 'off the charts' so he's added a new medication to help with that. The side effects of that drug so far have been extreme fatigue.

It is our prayer that soon Dad will be well enough to start taking less medication. We're thankful to our Heavenly Father for his provision over our lives and pray for continued improvement for Dad if that is His Will.

Praise the Lord for allowing the meds to help Dad. This is a hard and emotional journey for all of us, but God has been with us and continues to surround us with his love and care.

I keep checking and then I forget for awhile and viola! an update! Good to hear Ed is doing reasonably well, all things considering. Side effects are lousy, but not as bad as the original illness, right? You have my thoughts and prayers. Greetings to Ed and Flo.
