If you've been around a while or are a fan of old TV shows (or badly remade movies!), you caught the Lone Ranger reference in the tile. Dad doesn't have a white horse named Silver or wear a mask, but today he had the first treatment that will hopefully have his immune system riding off to shoot down the cancer cells in his body. He'll have one treatment every two weeks, barring any complications.
Dad also stopped by the pulmonologist's today for a check up and drain. The volume of fluid has been consistent for the last couple of times, lower than when he started. When it gets down to 50ml or less for three times in a row, he gets to go drain-free. It's not the most enjoyable procedure in the world, so hopefully that will happen soon.
May is a busy month - Cindy's wedding, Mom's hip replacement - so please continue to keep Dad in your prayers, that the treatments are effective and that he responds well. We are thankful that, no matter what May holds in store, our Lord has secured our future and walks with us through our present.
Thanks for checking in, and enjoy our spring weather!
