Cancer sucks - just in case anyone was wondering. Dad is about the same. His white cells went up to 16. Mom and I take this as good news. He still has a fever and is unable to eat or drink on his own. It is like he is in a coma of sorts. Mom said he is a little bit more lucid this morning. One of the nurses said he may look better before the blood work shows improvement. This is my hope today. It can't get worse. . . Right. . ? Olav is headed up to seattle till wednesday. Mom is looking forward to this. Grethe (dads sister) has been up since I left along with grandma. Not good when a 97 year old looks way better than 68. We are hopeful dad will start improving soon. Will update the second we get more news.
