  • 28 Days...

    I almost didn't write!

    We are back home now from LF.  G'pa hussled us playing Dice last night - it was fun.  He also discussed Bible Verses with us too - we didn't read any (which I was surprised about a little bit) but he knew the verses I gave him and said that two of them were some of his favorite for weddings - well when we looked them up when we got home (John actually hadn't read them yet as I'm the one that did the research) they both talk about the same things.  It's looking like Ephesians 5:23-33, something from Genesis (paper isn't in front of me, I remember Ephesians because that was one G'pa liked) and one from John... I'll try to remember the specifics tomorrow - for me if for no other reason!  lol

    G'pa talked about his Cancer and treatment a little bit - in blurbs here and there - G'ma seems to not want him to talk about it/focus on it - either in front of us or at all, I'm not sure.  I'm sure she doesn't want to be thinking about it either and it makes G'pa cry...

    He has completed his first round of chemo which will be administered every four weeks through February, and has completed 13 days of radiation with fourteen more to go?  Something like that.  I thought they said 28 total which means one more day, but who knows.  And then he got choked up when he said something about maybe needing radiation on his brain.  First I've heard of this and G'ma hushed him up right away, maybe because it choked him up or because it's a recent development and not everyone knows?  She said they're not sure - but if it's brought up by the doctors, I'm thinking it's likely... I'm just not that optimistic I guess, and I have to make sure it's been mentioned to my dad - so I'll talk to my mom about it first.  And after G'pa went to bed G'ma in passing (how you talk about cancer in passing I don't know, but she does it!) mentions that the type he has could be every where?  Of course not enough info spoken for me to make much of a conclusion about.  Just trying not to really think about it and focus on how well he's doing.  Losing hair every day, but he's certainly not bald yet!  lol  I'm very glad we hung out with them this weekend, even if for a short time.  He's tired too, so I really didn't feel that bad about leaving too soon. 

    Got to hold the two week old little baby today - both John & I did.  Logan is precious in a little pumpkin t-shirt - just so cute!  Gave me a wee bit of baby fever.  hehe. So cute.  No babies for a couple of years we are hoping - but I guess, don't always get to plan that.  Super precious though.

    I think that's all I've got tonight - gotta save something to blog about tomorrow.

    <3 & prayers to miss Kim - Definitely shed some tears for you today.  <3
