I went to visit Dad last night. He starts chemo today. I read the hand out. They will be giving him drugs through his IV for 4 days. There is a long list of side effects. Hopefully he won't get any. Please pray for that. I'm thinking probably if you want to go visit him calling ahead would maybe be a good idea because we have no idea how he will be feeling.
Also, it is very important right now that if anyone is feeling sick or has been in contact with someone sick you don't go until you know for sure that you are showing NO symptoms. The door to his room is supposed to be closed at all times. If there are any questions or concerns I would talk to the nursing staff before going in. This chemo will make his blood counts unbalanced making his immune system even worse. This stresses me out. Sometimes I think people may not understand how important this is. Perhaps I sound like a nag but it freaks me out, and I would rather sound like a raging nag instead of my Dad getting sick from something that could be easily prevented.
His room is pretty good. We sat and stared out the window and watched people. It's probably one of my favorite views he's had so far. That should make Becky very happy since she told me to lie to her if he didn't get a room with a window and tell her he did anyways.

I pray that your Dad will come through the chemo without too many bad side effects, but especially that he won't get sick from someone else. Remember Ang, the same God who sees your Dad through all this is also there beside you. Don't be afraid to lean.
