He did it, he did it! I will post an update in a few days with how he is feeling. It was an emotional day for us for so many reasons. I used to call his Mom during treatment or shortly after and he would call at night. It was strange not being able to do that, it really hurts bad.

Dad was taken to the hospital twice again since last time I posted. Appears the kidneys were starting to shut down but they stopped that. This time was lack of urine in his urine bag. He gained 5 pounds overnight. He is home but I thought if I posted this people would think I am nuts.

I cannot believe just how many things have happened in the last 2 months. Having treatment made us both feel we have some control over our lives. Whether this works remains to be seen but it felt good acting.

Please God, please no more........and if there is more I will only survive it if my husband gets well.....I am not that strong>>Believe51
