Back to the Pool



We received some good news at Dad's last two appointments. First, the MRI of Dad's brain confirms that the radiation has dramatically shrunk the tumors in his brain. While he is not permitted to drive yet - he will be evaluated again in August and will possibly be behind the wheel before the end of summer.

Dad had the staples removed from his leg last week, which is a nice milestone. It also means he can now go swimming - which has been good exercise for him this week. As many of you know, Dad participated in water aerobics back home, so it is nice for him to get back in the pool.

Additionally, we had a check up on dad's eye surgery today. The laser surgery that was done last week seems to have contained the problem and they feel he is recovering nicely. So a good week before we begin Round 2 of Chemotherapy next Tuesday.
