On behalf of the whole family, we cannot thank our friends and family enough for all the support and encouragement that we have received. Our situation is less than ideal to say the very least, but our support system has helped so much. Meals have been a huge help to Mom and Dad and every time I'm over at their house, the mantel is covered with cards. The other day, I was able to put all the cards into books that now sit out in the living room table. The covers were made from balloons that Dad received the day he came home from the hospital. Visitors are still welcomed, it helps pass the time and break up the day a little bit, plus I think Dad has enjoyed seeing people he doesn't normally see on a regular basis.
Huge thank you to all of those who have stopped by to visit, brought meals or snack, have cut the grass, sent cards and prayers, and anything else I may have forgotten!!!
Dad heard back from the doctor, it turns out he is not eligible for the chemotherapy clinical trial. He still will need to decide if he wants to participate in the radiation clinical trial or not. He goes tomorrow morning to have the radiation mask made, pick up his chemotherapy medication, and I'm sure there will be more paperwork and tests that have to be done. We still don't have a start date for anything, hopefully will know more by the end of all the appointments tomorrow.
He's still doing really well, no pain and no seizures. He's moving around pretty well as long as he stays moving, when he sits around too much his balance seems to get a little off. Strength is slowly coming back on the left side since he's been doing physical therapy, although I'm sure it's not nearly as fast as Dad would like it to be!
