Well ok, a couple of weeks ago my dad was taken to the hospital because he had an insanely high fever and his oncologist told us to bring him in right away. That something wasnt right. So he gets there and they admit him instantly. His white blood count was up to 22000... NOT normal! A normal white blood count for a healthy man is around 6000. So he stayed in the hospital for about 5 days hooked up to bags and bags of antibiotics.
When he was released the doctor came in and told him that the only way they were going to let him leave was if he promised to go down to MD Anderson the next day and get checked out. So he did. For someone with cancer, the white blood count is naturally going to be high. So they werent too worried about that. While he was at the hospital they did CT scans and sent them over to MD Anderson. We recieved a phone call about a week later and were told that they see no growth in the tumors! That is the first piece of good news we've had since May!!! BUT the scans were a month pre-mature. He wasnt suppose to get checked out until next month. So we're keeping our fingers crossed in hopes that they still dont grow OR , even better, shrink!
They upped his chemo to 4000 mg a day so he is now developing blisters on his feet and hyperpigmentation on his hands. Hes very tired alot of the time and seeing him like this only makes things harder on me.
In church this morning Pastor Mark did a sermon on Psalms 46. WOW how amazing! It brought me back to the place I need to be with the Lord. I have been so angry for so long that I seemed to have forgotten how to walk with Christ. So if youre reading this Pastor Mark... thank you! You spoke to my heart and lifted my spirits.
I can do anything and over come anything through Jesus Christ our Savior!
Sorry this is so lengthy... I had a lot to say! =) Please keep reading... I will write more later! God Bless!
