I took Dad for his treatment today and we also had an appointment with the oncologist, so Mom went with us. When I got to Mom's, he came from his room to go and he had wet the front of his clothes and down his leg and didn't even know it. He had to go change clothes before we could go. I put pillows on the back seat and he got back there and lay down all the way to Shreveport. He was unable to walk without my holding his hand and leading him everywhere. It's just so, so sad. The weakness is so very evident. I take him again tomorrow and my brother will take him for his last treatment on Wednesday. Then we will find out if the radiation doc is going to do the 3 additional treatments or not. On the plus side (which I must always find) he is talking much better....well, except when he has to take his "stereo" pill.....that would be the same as a steroid!!! AND.....we got someone to come clean Mom's house and she will be there every Monday. She was there today!!! WooHoo!

Oh, Ms. B, I wish I could be there to give you a big ((HUG)). We are still praying for you and your precious daddy. We love you and we are so sorry your family is going through this.
Love,
Gina
Thank you, Gina. We so appreciate your kind words and especially your prayers. I believe the end is near, but it's God's call and I'm OK with that. It doesn't keep me from crying like a big ole baby all the time though!!!:)
I wish I could take the pain away. I am praying for all of you daily. How is your Mom handling everything?
Thank you, Linda.
Sorry, Linda, I didn't answer your question. Mom is doing OK. She is much stronger than I am or at least she doesn't show her emotions like I do. She says she is OK. She just doesn't want him to suffer.
Praying for your daddy and you!
Denise
