Thanks for the prayers, guys. My dad isn't as tired as before but he still is a bit lethargic. Talks more softly but is more aware. We are told it's the pain medication that is making him act and talk so lethargically. He is watching TV, joking, and walking a bit more around the house.
I'm actually doing okay. When we were in the ER last week, I went through a brief this is it moment, and that was the way the doctor interpreted an MRI reading. That the tumor sliced through his brain because of how things shifted in his head. I was immediately thinking about hospice care, the funeral services, just getting him out of the hospital so he could spend whatever final moments he had at home. It turned out the readings showed what they did because it was due to the swelling of the brain and not because there was a tumor.
So that he is able to be at home - even with the cancer cells in his head - I consider a blessing. Small victories.
