Thank you for all of your hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, they are much appreciated. Over the weekend we had a ramp made for the two stairs, and a shower grab bar installed. I've a prescription for a hospital bed and wheelchair that Amy will check out for me. Today we met with the radiation Doctor. Treatment will start Wendsday. 3 this week 3 next week then 4 the following week. Had the face mask done today. He'll have proton, 30 gy over ten treatments, whole brain. This we have to travel to Lacey for, (far side of Olympia). The chemo will be done closer to home. We live in the boon docks. A trip to Seattle is pretty much a whole day thing. Olympia is an hour one way with good traffic. Forget Seattle it never has good traffic. This is made worse by the fact I'm not allowed to drive due to a vision problem. Amy is trying to work something out with the college but so far they don't quite get it. I'd be lost without her right now.
Tommorrow we head back to Seattle for a lung biospy to confirm what we allready know. Sometime in the next 2 weeks we'll meet with the chemo doctor and get that set up, to follow radiation. It's hoped that the radiation will help to reduce the balance and neuro problems which will greatly improve his quality of life. At this point someone must be with him at all times.
We have our grandson who is Poppa's best buddy talking to the school counselor. He's holding things in (alot like his Poppa).
It's really overwhelming so much to think about and do, We're all exhausted. Chet is taking 4 mg 4x daily of decatron and still sleeping.
Again thank you for all of your support, it has and will be greatly appreciated as we move forward.
Big hugs
Raydean
