another go 'round

Dad left a characteristically to-the-point message on my phone last night: They're in the hospital and will be there until Sunday.

This is the second round of the CVAD chemotherapy, administered intravenously and accompanied by numerous other pharmaceutical cocktails and supplements. Please pray that this course of drugs will build on the gains that have been made over the last month. Pray that Dad's various blood counts, especially that of his white blood cells, will be at safe levels. Pray that he'll be safe from infection, and that he and Mom would have the strength to persevere, in faith, through another hospitalization.

Let me renew our thanks to everyone for your myriad expressions of love and support for Dad, Mom and the whole family. What a moving thing to know how well and widely Dad is loved!
