Update on Dad

My dad is doing well. He has his 2nd of 6 doses of Chemo on MLK day. I was able to visit this past weekend and had a good time with dad celebrating his 60th birthday. His Bone Marrow Biopsy came back clean and so his NHL (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) is a stage 3. The PET scan results came back with no involvement on the brain, heart, or liver which is good news also. He does have lymph node involvement on nodes near his trachea, chest, abdomen, and groin. Hopefully the Chemo will shrink these tumors. For dad's birthday, we went to the King Tut exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art. It was really interesting and exciting to see all these beautiful pieces that are 3000+ years old. Rachel & Michael practically ran through the maze of artifacts and were eating lunch when an hour later, mom, dad, and I finally caught up with them. We of course had to look at every single item and read every single caption about each piece. Mom pushed dad in a wheelchair throughout the exhibit so he wouldn't get too tired. Only it was a tiny wheelchair made for a kid I think. :) Poor dad had to squeeze into it. Mom also pushed people out of the way and squeezed her way up front of every piece so dad could see everything. I am sure some toes were run over. :) We were all exhausted after the day's trip walking all over the exhibit, but dad said he felt great riding in the wheelchair all day, not tired at all. Mom made Sweet n Sour pork chops over rice for dinner. Then we had cake with 60 candles on it!
