It’s been way too long since I’ve posted, but it’s been kinda crazy. My treatments are going fine, I’ve got the last treatment of this cycle tomorrow, and no side effects of any kind!

The crazy part is that last Thursday both my parents were admitted to the hospital. My mom had a rapid heart rate that the doctor said was like she’d been running a marathon for 3 hours. They got her stabilized, ended up putting in a pacemaker Friday and released her Saturday. She’s doing much better now, just a little tired. After my dad got mom settled and parked the car, he went up to mom’s room, started not communicating clearly and ended up passing out. They checked him out and his heart was fine. They decided he passed out due to stress, exertion, and low blood pressure. While they were doing the tests, however, they found some other things that didn’t look quite right that required some follow up. He’s had some kind of test run almost daily and had two more tests run today. We don’t have results from all the tests so there’s not a complete picture of what’s going on. He generally feels pretty good but doesn’t have much strength and isn’t eating much at all. He was discharged this afternoon and we got him home, so hopefully things will somewhat get back to normal!
