DAD- Started his new cycle of chemotherapy this past Friday. He questioned the doctor about his pain in the legs, so he decided to take a look at X-rays from two weeks ago and said they do not see any fractures, and that they don't even see any spots- no spread of disease- GOOD news!!! We will hopefully do more tests to find out why he has so much pain in his legs. The nurse said it may be a side effect of Doxil- the new chemotherapy he just started with. He is still monitoring his pain on daily basis with Methadone and Morphine.
He has been taking Decadron- steroid - as part of his treatment- I call it the "talkative pill"- ha ha, if you were around him when he is on it you would understand why I call it that...
Unfortunately mom and dad were unable to attend Karina's wedding this past Saturday(which was absolutely beautiful!!), and speaking on the behalf of everyone, they were greatly missed. However they had the visit of Cristina & Gerson Assman, Jacque & Roberto Seibel, and Tina & Jorge Jorge for lunch on Sunday. It is so amazing to have friends you know will be there no matter what life brings you... WE are blessed to have them and it was just like old times. Friends you may not speak to everyday or even every month or year, but you can just sit down with them and pick it up where you left off last time...
I was very pleased to know that we have friends from all over the world following this blog and praying and cheering for my father. Thank you Gerson for forwarding this to so many!! And thank you everyone for the amazing support!
We will all be missing the ones who left us behind in good OLE' RICHMOND... ;) So hurry and come back soon!!
DANIEL- Is out of ICU. It seems like there might be hope for him to salvage his leg. Doctors are meeting up to chat and make a decision, which hopefully will take place this week. He will be doing skin grafting on his left hand and his face is looking good, no major scars. We are all praying for Daniel's full recovery! Stay strong Daniel we love you!!!
