Off to see Dad...

Well, last weekend my father was told by his regular internist that he probably only has six weeks. That was a shock and upset him and all of us but after he talked to the nurse practitioner and his oncologist they told him that tat doctor had been wrong to say that. Now my dad has decided to enter in an experimental chemotherapy trial to see if it can give him a little more time. Hopefully it won't make him feel too sick and if it does he says he will quit it. We'll see how that goes.
Anyway, I am off next week to see him for four days and hopefully that will go all right. I will miss H's Sports Day at school but there is nothing I can do about it. S will have to handle it on his own and luckily the one night S has the night shift my friend K will keep him even though she is soooo busy. I really appreciate her help.

Nothing Much Going On...

Well, today is just another routine day, sending H off to school, doing some translation work and shopping for dinner. I'm just anxious to see what happens with my dad. It doesn't seem real somehow. I guess it is just something to face and deal with the best I can. That is about all I can do.
I am wondering also how S and H are going to handle it all. It can't be easy for a 10 year old and DH hasn't had a father around since he was a small boy. We will all just have to support each other through this.

This is a picture taken a year and a half ago but it reminds me of DS's creativity and silly sense of humor. It also show his innocence at that age. He is 10 now and growing up fast. He even took the costume on a trip to Washington DC just to surprise my mom with it!

Anyway, this photo is a great memory for me and I can't wait to show it to his children someday.
