So healthy we don't know why you are here...oh except for the myeloma.

Dad has been doing wonderful. At his chemo visit last week Dr. Kazhdan told him I don't know why you are here, all of your labs are wonderful and you are the picture of health...oh except for the myeloma. All of Dad's labs are great and everyday he is getting better and better. In fact, he is getting more and more comfortable on his feet again that he forgets sometimes to use his walker and walks across the kitchen. This doesn't mean that he is 100% cured, but just the fact that he can walk short distances comfortably is wonderful.

The weekend was busy, Mom's family were finishing up visiting and then they had some friends in town to visit. It's been great to have some normalcy in the midst of all these hospital stays and doctor's visits. Monday was again chemo day. Dad was looking great, a little impatient for the long wait, but great nonetheless. He finishes this round of chemo on Thursday then it is off for a week before starting round three. Again his labs look really great and he is attempting to be the model patient. He is even trying to get permission to make some of the business trips slated for next year. Dr. Kazhdan can't make any promises, but if his back is healed and he is doing good, he hopes to make every one of them. All of the emails and calls of support help to boost his resolve to kick this thing in the butt for good. So far, so good.
