well, we're going to Morro Bay this coming weekend. This is the weekend that Kasey is going to see Don too. i didn't want to intrude but after the phone call from his doctor, i have to see him soon.
in summary: his afp or afl or something like that count was 8 last December. last week it was 1500. they are sending him to the outside oncologist again. the doctor said that Don's speech is slurred and his memory is bad from the liver disease. they removed 25 lbs of fluid not 15 and there's another 25 lbs still in there. the doctor said that puts Don's weight at around 140 lbs.
the doctor called me monday morning and Don called me monday night. yes, his speech is slurred and he can't remember things like when he called me last. he cried the whole time and is worried he won't get to see us.
i couldn't think of anything else to say to him except that he better hang on or i would kick his ass.
we are headed there friday morning with pookie. we shall see how that goes. Kasey and i will see Don on saturday and Jamie and Kasey will go see him on sunday. i've asked Jamie to only stay for an hour so that Kasey can spend some time alone with him.
i'm anxious
i'm scared
