Love at Home

It's great having dad home! It's so nice to hug and snuggle with him whenever we want to, although I think it's been a lot of work for mom who is taking on the role and shifts of all of his doctors and nurses. She is amazing! She monitors all of his medications and makes sure that what is prescribed is checked and double checked. She monitors his oxygen, she is right by his side whenever he wants to get up and walk around or use the restroom, she's keeps his bedding fresh and cozy and she and April make sure that he has wonderful full course healthy meals.

It's been hard to keep all of dad's grand kids away from him because they are all so excited to see him and have him home and he feels the same about them. He always wants me to bring the kids to him for hugs and kisses but I just bring them to the stairs so they can wave and blow kisses until he is better.

He goes to the Cancer Institute of Utah everyday for his chemotherapy. He has a physical therapist who works with him at the house and nurses that stop by to check up on him.

Last night was a tough night. He was very anxious to leave the house and get some errands done. It was hard to restrain him and explain to him that we weren't going anywhere. So we tried to just snuggle with him and keep him occupied. Sometimes his medications make it hard for him to comprehend what is going on around him. This morning he is doing much better and thinking more clearly.

Thank you all so much for being such a huge support group to our family. We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends and are grateful for all the prayers that we know have been heard and answered.
