Update: October 23, 2010 - Singing

I have just returned from spending time with Boo-D - my dad. He is looking better today. He is getting back his color (i.e., not looking as pale as before) and his kidney functions are close to going back to normal.

He has now moved out of Telemetry (7th floor) and has now moved into the Oncology (6th floor, room 6790) where they will be administering his chemotherapy. This evening, he received another session of Velcade the second one since Thursday.

In addition, he had several visitors earlier today. It appears it has been good for his soul as two of my cousins Valerie and Earlyn who came to visit him were treated with a serenade from him. He hasn't done that with anyone else so I am taking it as a good sign. Lucky gals! I also told him that The Ohio State Buckeyes football team won big today 49-0 and he replied, "Wow! You guys really beat them!" That was another good sign.

I continue to encourage my dad each time I see him to be strong in mind and spirit and the body will be taken cared of.

Thank you again for your love and support, your well wishes, and your continued thoughts and prayers. Nona and the rest of our family greatly appreciate it.

Love,
Chad
