Ed's sense of humor is intact, alive and well. His hair is just beginning to grow back in the bald zone (the left side of his head where he received radiation treatment), but it is small, fine, hairs that you can barely see at this point.
My mom found an old wig of hers from years and years back and Ed decided to put that wig on! It is quite hilarious to see him in the wig. Ed's dad actually had a head of hair that thick and that big and that wild, so seeing Ed with that wig on is reminiscent of his dad's ample mane.
You can see by the look on his face that he is enjoying making a little fun.
Tomorrow, Monday, he has an appointment with the PA at the oncologist's office. Things we will have checked out:
* The continued swelling of his ankles and puffiness in the face.
* The red markings that are popping up on his arms (caused by chemo??)
* The readings on his blood work which was drawn Friday.
* His weight and BP.
* Okay to order the next round of chemo? (Want to avoid a delay such as we had this last time. It put him a week and half later getting his chemo treatment started than was scheduled).
In a couple more weeks he'll have an MRI of the brain and we will see what is going on inside that head of his. Please keep praying for his well being, his healing, his quality of life. Please keep praying for my Mom to keep her wits about her to take care of him, to have the strength to keep going, and that depression won't get her down. Keep praying for his doctors that they can keep helping him.
