So if anyone is wondering where Dad is and what he's been doing...
Here he is, and this is what he's been doing. He brought Mom along for the ride (and for my enjoyment) and is spending some time visiting with two of his grandsons. Tomorrow they go home and get to babysit the other one (and my bestest nephew) Noah, so they should just about get enough of their favorite people. Well... Maybe not enough. Is it ever really enough when it comes to something like that?
Anyways... Dad's been enjoying his freedom. In addition to being able to visit with the boys he also has a less strict renal diet to put up with for a while. (He can have potassium right now because of the chemo depleting it from his system, which makes cooking for him much easier and more fun.)
On Wednesday Dad goes back to the hospital for some tests, and the doctors told him to expect to be admitted for his next round of chemo. He'll almost certainly be in the hospital over Thanksgiving, so he won't get to see any of his favorite boys. (They aren't allowed once he is nuetropenic.)
I've sure enjoyed having him and Mom around and I know the boys have loved every second. I don't think any of us are looking forward to sending Dad back to the hospital so soon. I'm trying to look at it like Mom does, "Just get it over with and get to the recovery stage", but I'd sure like to keep him here for a few more weeks...

Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

It's good to see that you are out of the hospital and enjoying some well spent time with family. You look like you are totally enjoying your time in the sandbox with the other children. Glad to see you out and about.
It is so good to see you sitting in the sandbox with Ben. He must have been in his glory playing cards with his Grandpa. We will pray for you and this next round of chemo. The drs can only do so much and that is why we go to the #1 physician.
Glad to see your having a wonderful time with your grandsons. I'm not sure from looking at that picture who is actually having more fun, you or Ben.
I was wondering if you can have bread pudding? Let me know asap or Art and I will have eaten it all.
Glad you guys got to go to Yorkton. It's always so special to spend time with your grandchildren.
Hope your second round of chemo goes without a hitch.
Love and prayers.
