Follow Up Appointment

Dad's appointment with Dr. Hamilton was pleasantly uneventful. He reviewed the diagnosis with us again to confirm that this is a aggressive cancer but that he felt confident that it was caught soon enough that it was still fully encapsulated in the kidney and has not spread. He wants Dad to follow up for xrays and a scan in 4 months. He released Dad and Mom to leave town. They are thinking Mesquite is a good, warm destination.
We love this doctor! The guy next to him isn't too bad either! Love you Dad!!!

Happy New Year!

Well, Dad's recovery is going full steam ahead. He is getting up and about and has even ventured out of the house a few times. Becky took a picture of us all our to lunch but someones boys pulled faces instead of smiling so it didn't get posted...but lunch was nice. Don't know if he's ready for Wendover just yet but it's getting close.
We knew he was feeling better when he decided that it was time for their little dog to come home. Wickett was more than happy to be back with them. (The babysitters didn't let her eat table scraps or ice cream!)
He has enjoyed having lots of time to watch all the football games but is ready to return to the land of the living. He has his follow up with the Doctor on Thursday so we will keep you posted. Here's to an extremely low key, peaceful 2015!
