Dad had his chemo treatment today; 7 or 8 bags he thinks. When he went to the appointment his oxygen level was too low. The minimum should be 90, ideal is 95 and his was 88. The doctor has ordered him to use his oxygen 24/7. The shortness of breath is not from the chemo killing red blood cells like dad thought. Hopefully, he will do what the doctor says and use it all the time. The doctor also told him to start using the scooter a little bit more so he doesn't get out of breath so quickly. He also recommended that he use a walker to keep from falling. He told dad that a broken hip would not be a good thing to add to his medical resume.
Just in case we don't get a chance to update the blog again before the weekend, I wanted to let everyone know, May 25th is mom's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope that it is a special one.
We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.
