First PETScan Scheduled for Monday

      On Monday, Dad will get his first PETScan.   Please pray for a good result on the PETScan, strength and good health as he progresses through his chemotherapy treatments.    Don't have an exact start date for chemo yet, but I'm sure we will get one very soon.

     We had a nice Easter with my parents.  Holly wanted to do an Easter egg hunt at grandma's house, and there was my dad, limping along in the front yard, looking for eggs along with her.... love my dad.   I think my dad felt sorry for her because her BROTHERS found most of the eggs.   Next year, she'll get a 10 minute head start.

       Dad seems to be getting used to the nephrectomy  tube (kidney tube).... not hearing too many complaints about it, other than it's difficult to sleep and shower.   The kidney still seems to be working nicely, but I don't know what the magic numbers are the doctors are looking for in terms of urine output.   At this point, dad is recording number - the doctors will assess the functionality of the kidney, based on the numbers, in a few weeks.
