Greetings!
This is Emily, I have not been at the hospital today so this update comes by word of mouth from Mom...
Dad had his last day of Chemo today. It was administered over 4 hours this afternoon, and there was a nurse whose job it was to sit in the room and monitor his vitals every 15 minutes. She did not leave the room at all. He has started to feel the effects of the previous chemos, but has not been 'sick' as of yet. He has not had any interets in food or doing much of anything since yesterday afternoon. As for today's chemo, Mom was told that the effects of the Final Big Gun,would begin within 8-24 hours. So for right now we are holding our breath, and counting the small blessings in each day. We are thankful that until yesterday Dad was feeling OK and his biggest complaint was that he was bored.
It has been nice having Tori here, and she only just arrived! Her presence has lifted our whole family's spirit. We wish however, that she were here under better circumstances, but we continue to be greatful our time together as a family.
As always thank you for your thoughts and prayers. More as events dictate...

I've been thinking of you all day and waiting to see something on the blog. I guess I've been holding my breath, too. I'm so happy things have gone well up to this point. That's worth hanging on to. Love to all of you and good to know that Tori is on the right coast---where we all know she and Sean belong! Tori, I've got a friend selling a cute 3-bedroom in North Portland right now for $200,000. Want to make an offer????? Not really, but I'm keeping my eyes open. I'm just so thankful you were able to come for a few days now. And I'm so grateful for all the times we spent together at Oleander Gardens. I have great memories of all the kids out half the night in the cul de sac. And, whether you kids like it or not, us old folks have been doing a pretty good job of having fun even after you went off and deserted us. Kermit and I are looking forward to much more. So, whatever comes from the Big Guns has got to be seen as part of the process of getting us to the new place where we can HAVE MORE FUN! There is definitely life after parenting, as "delightful" as it was, and we are gonna have some more of it with both Beck and Rick! Mother M
