Fun Times At Dad's

A couple of weeks ago my sister Sandy and her family came to visit for the weekend. We were all able to get together at Dad's for an evening. Dad cooked up a delicious dinner!
The kids had a blast playing together..
Here are some random pictures taken that night:







Dad was feeling pretty weak and tired on this particular night, but he didn't let it slow him down! He kept up with the kids all night long!
A Little Update: We visited with Dad yesterday and I am pleased to report that he looked GREAT! The doctor's have finally gotten him on the right doses of medications. He looked well rested and was in great spirits. Earlier in the week it had been discovered that he had a yeast infection in his throat but after just a few days the infection is all cleared up, and Dad can once again swallow and eat normally..for the most part. The dietician is still working with him on a weekly basis, trying to find the right foods for him right now. There are many foods that simply don't agree with him at this point in time, due to the chemo, but little by little he's finding things that his body CAN handle. It's a wonderful thing! :) 20 more treatments to go, and then he gets 7 full weeks off!!

Thanks for posting these pictures, we took our with a disposable camera, and have not yet had them developed. Thanks also for the update on Dad, I'm glad to hear he's doing well! You do a great job keeping tabs on him :-)
