Dad has been by my moms side every day, and for most of the day. Some of his days are better than others. The pain pills and pain patches can only do do much. The days usually start off pretty good but after a full day of activity dad is usually pretty tired out and sometimes hurting. We take dads meds with us when we travel as he has a noon dose that he has to take. His regiment of medications start in the morning, followed by noon, afternoon, evening and then bedtime. The radiation treatments have made it very hard for dad to swallow. He has a medicine that he gargles with in the morning, evening and before every meal that numbs his throat. This makes it a little less painful to swallow. Dad will be getting his 3rd infusion of chemo-therapy on Friday. He has been given medications to use for the side effects, but hasn't needed them yet. Hopefully dad will rest a little more when my mom returns home.
Again, we thank all of our relatives and friends for their prayers , support and help.
