Dad is still at UCSF and will be for at least another day. Although his 36 hour chemo drip has been finished since sometime last week, his blood levels aren't responding like they should. They want his toxin levels to drop to .05 and they are at .09 today. It has only been dropping about .02 to .03 per day. They are trying to help flush his system with a drip but it's not working like they'd hoped.

Nan has been here since late Sunday night and hung out with me helping me with re-upholstering some cushions and waiting for dad to get released so we could go get him. I've loved the help, but it was time for her to take the drive down to see dad since he's not coming home like we'd hoped. So she'll be there today and tonight and will be on hand for the next two days if he does get released.

UPDATE: Although the levels are not what the Doctors like, they said it was low enough and they agreed to let dad go home today. Yippee! He and Nan are on their way back to Paradise now.
