I know I haven't had a chance to post in a while. It's just getting to the point that I don't know what to say. I feel like a broken record sometimes because theres just not a lot of changes.
Daddy did finish his radiation treatments on Friday November 20th and his last Chemo treatment was Monday the 16th. It will be March before he can be retested to see if the treatments were successful.
His throat is still very sore and raw. He can barley stand to swallow little sips of water and forget about even trying to eat anything. He is getting all nurishment and meds through his feeding tube. He's still down 60 pounds which isn't a bad thing that he's lost weight, we just all wish that it wasn't this way ya know... Hopefully now that radiation is over his body will be able to start healing and he will start getting stronger each day. His immune system should start picking back up too. He is still having severe headaches and he's still on pain meds. However; he won't take the pain meds until the headache gets to the point that he just can't stand it.
Emotionally he seems to be so-so. Some days are better than others. He still sleeps a lot and is in bed by 7:00 each night. I think he did stay up to about 7:15 last night because the whole family was there. Now that he is finished treatments he can have visitors. Of couse if you're sick or been in direct contact with someone that is sick we still ask that you wait until you are completely well. Also if you would like to visit please call Mama to see when would be a good time. As I said he does sleep a lot and usually takes moring and afternoon naps. It may help to lift his sprits though.
Mama & Daddy did want me to tell everyone THANK YOU for all the thoughts & prayers the past 4 months and they hope that everyone had a very happy and safe Thanksgiving Holiday.
