Dad made it home from the hospital last night and should be at home for at least 7 days before he needs to go back for another 3 to 5 day stay. He'll call the hospital on Thursday, the 19th to see if there is a bed available. On his next hospital stay he gets a 36 hour drip of chemo then home for about 7 days, then go back and do it again.

He's feeling a bit yucky, can't remember very much, gets tired and agitated kinda easy, but still seems to maintain his sense of humor when he has the energy. He has some sort of ear infection going on that's driving him crazy but they're going to try to get something today to help alleviate some of it.

I'll be heading up to his house tonight to bring him dinner so I'll get to see him and really see how he's doing. Hopefully Craig, Nancy and Doug will be able to come out in 2 weeks to see him when he's on one of his home stays.  He prefers visitors at home and not at the hospital. Too small of a room, not enough privacy, nurses in/out, etc. 


I'll be seeing him several times over this next week, so I'll have some better updates. Hard to get a good idea of how he's doing with short phone calls to him and Becky!
