This week, is one for the numbers:
0 - chemo treatments
2 - PIC lines put in to aid in taking blood/giving meds to Dad
5 - trips to Medical City in Dallas for various reasons
2 - trips to the ER (1 admission)
2 - liters of fluid drained from Daddy's chest/lungs on Saturday
3 - nights inpatient stay (so far)
4 - number of iv's that were 'piggybacked' on Daddy tonight
5 - chest x-rays to confirm that Daddy has pneumonia
17 - minutes it takes me (one way) to drive to the hospital
20 - the number to which Eli can count! Who knew? He does occasionally mix up in the 'teens'...see what spending so much time with my parents can do for a kid?
10,000 or more - times Daddy has coughed since June 4th
many phone calls, cards and visits from family and friends
100,000 or more - prayers said for Daddy, for our family and for our caregivers/doctors as we work our way down this difficult road.
Thank you for being so supportive of us. We appreciate you so much! Keep the prayers and kind words coming!
