Week three of radiation is complete, dad is sporting a new hairless style and is looking good! I met dad at radiation today and then we walked over to the hospital to have his weekly blood draw. The Medical Oncologist had ordered an additional blood test to check dad's dilantin level. Dad currently takes a medication to help prevent seizures and a medication to decrease brain swelling, these levels along with his blood count must be checked regularly.

We acknowledge that at any time we could find ourselves tossed about on the high sea throughout this cancer storm, we also know that a smooth sea never made a skilled mariner. We are grateful for our parents stable courage, strength, and skill as we sail these uncharted waters.
