Since my last update, Dad has been really good. Even after chemo on Tuesday he's been better and a little stronger. Mom has been getting him out of the house just about every day, even if it's just to ride around. The weekend was good too. The physical therapist came on Saturday morning and really gave him a hard workout, so the rest of the day he was tired. However, he wasn't too tired to get up and go to church again on Sunday. Dad told me he made up his mind Saturday night that he was going to do whatever it took to go to church, and it was so awesome to see that fire in his eyes again, the determination that he's always had. So he got up, ate a big breakfast to give him energy, and off they went.

Last night we had a lovely surprise. The Christmas Carolers from Bethel United Methodist Church (mom and dad's church) came by and sang a few songs for Mom and Dad. They were wonderful, but the best part was hearing Dad sing with them. His voice is so much stronger now, pretty much back to normal, and it was just heart warming for me to hear him singing Silent Night with them.
