Dad continues to soak and massage his feet in an effort to gain some relief from the intense swelling and tightness; he is convinced that this is working.

Dad spends most of his days wrapped in blankets from head to toe, in front of the fire, napping. We are hopeful that his fatigue is from the intense battle he has been fighting. Mom remains vigilant in providing and preparing foods that sound appealing, this changes in a moments notice and often she prepares it and it no longer sounds good. This is all too familiar; Aunt Joan and Donna both experienced the same thing during chemo.

Mom and Dad are enjoying having the kids and grandchildren around, this is what it is all about. Mom has spent the past two days decorating for Christmas; it is true, there's no place like home for the holidays.
