Chemo Today

All,
Dad's visit to the doctor yesterday showed that his blood counts had come up a good bit. Dr. O decided to give him a shot that boosts the blood counts even further and as a result, he was lined up for chemo today at Rex Hospital. I just spoke with mom a short while ago and she said that things are going well with today's round of chemo. He should be there until about 4 p.m. today wrapping things up with it. If the past chemo sessions are any indicator, the next few days will have dad sleeping a lot and in a little bit of pain, but he generally starts to come around about 3-4 days after the treatment. Dr. O did go ahead and schedule a CT scan for May 6 to see what the situation looks like in the chest cavity area. Obviously, we ask for your prayers for this situation and wisdom for the doctors to know how to treat disease. Additionally, please pray that God will provide dad with as much comfort and rest as possible. Thanks!
