Dad came home today
Dad was released from the hospital today; his blood values appear to have stabilized and he was feeling better (though yesterday was not a great day for him -- more weakness and fatigue).
He's due for his next chemotherapy treatment a week from tomorrow; he hadn't talked to his oncologist about this, but he suspects they will delay the treatment until he recovers more. I assured him that after Drake's third or fourth treatment his blood values were such that they almost delayed treatment for him (he was borderline, and since he'd otherwise been doing well, they went ahead as scheduled). I know it happens a lot with therapy, so if they do need to delay hopefully it will just be for a week or so. Dad described feeling pretty "womped" by the last round of treatment so I think he's very open to having a bit of a recovery period before the next treatment.
I'm glad he's home now; it's always nice to be resting in your own bed.
