Dad has been working hard each day, going to the office when the doctors appointments allow. He finished chemo last week and finally made it to the main branch. He also made the office Christmas party, or was at least able to make an appearance for around an hour. It is hard for someone who has a broken back to stand for a long period of time, or to even sit for a long period of time.
The house was decorated yesterday to get ready for the holiday cheer than will soon be descending on Dad's house. Thankfully, Tia Mary and Joe-Joe were able to help mom. The grandbaby has the stomach flu and I really don't think Dad wants to battle that in addition to everything else- although I know he is itching to see Jacob.
Today Dad went in for his regular check up and blood work. Unfortunately Dad starting to feel a little numbness in his legs, so this means another MRI for him. He was in a bit of pain when we spoke last, but they were trying to get the MRI today. The numbness might be from nerves that are compressed from his broken vertebrae or it might be a result of the chemo, since chemo can cause a pins and needle sensation. We'll let you all know when we know more.
