Dear Michelle and all
We had a beautiful visit with Wally and Saint Bernie ( she earned her sainthood caring for Wally). Just kidding !
We spent most of day on Tuesday and Wednesday with Wally and Bernie. On Tuesday we went out to dinner with Bernie while the girls were there with Wally. Wally really missed the girls when they went out in the afternoon while we were there. It was funny because he kept asking when they were coming home. I think he missed their energy and fun.
We went to oncologist with Wally and Bernie at Wally's request. We were glad we went.The oncologist is a very compassionate and kind man. The nurse brought extra chairs in the room for us and seemed to be glad we were there. How about that.I found out that the drug Wally is taking is the only approved drug for liver cancer. Not a curative drug but a drug that stops the progression of the tumor by cutting off the blood supply to the tumor. The oncologist has seen some good results from this drug even in the case of his own father.
Wally had a good report and doesn't have to go back to oncologist for a month, as long as no problems. This report by his doctor seemed to really lift his spirits.
On Thursday we had a short goodby visit with Wally and Bernie and were on our way to the airport. We made it to the airport without mishap. Well we did have one small one. As an addendum to the welding shop story: Aunt Joy in her very quiet way said to me " Are you sure that's the right car that pulled into the welding shop?" And I replied "Oh sure That's the right car." Oh well can't always be right.
Love to all
Aunt Rita
I am so glad that the two of you made it..what a wonderful time it was. Goes to show that visitors along with prayer goes a long way! It really does lift spirits.
