Dad's hair was growing in nicely and then the full head Radiation caused it to start falling out again. In preparation for the family Christmas Party, he had a meeting with the razor!!!
Kevin had to help out as Connie didn't know
what she was doing with a razor and shaving cream on the head!!! After looking in the mirror, Dad said, "I look like Eric" (his nephew with the same hair cut).

After looking in the mirror, Dad said, "I look like Eric" (his nephew with the same hair cut).Due to severe hip pain, he has not been sleeping well at night. The doctors said he could only take a baby aspirin, which obviously didn't help much. Mom was able to convinced the doctor that Dad needed relief. Way to go Momma Bear!!!! He now has a prescription for a pain medicine which helps. It is a low dose of a addictive narcotic that makes him too sleepy, therefore, he will only be taking it when absolutely necessary. His hip is so bad that he has to use his walker even in the house. Dad has had significant hearing loss since December 1. Mom has been patient and is taking great care of her guy.
Other than the pain, he is doing well - last night he said he was feeling pretty good. He has been snuggled up at home in his chair watching the snow pile up!! He is planning to go to the doctor on Friday and to the Family Christmas Party on Saturday. Thank you, God, for every day that we have with this wonderful man!!! It will be a Blessed Christmas in our family - thank you for uplifting us in prayer.

Well that shaved head thingie is really in style!
Bob looks great! Sure hope the pain meds work and that he and your whole family have a blessed, peaceful, cosy family holiday!
Merry Christmas!
Perhaps we will have to set you up with some funky cool hats to keep you warm in the snow storm. Merry Christmas Mom and Dad - you are a blessing to us!
