Bad Day
I think Dad's cancer is really starting to eat his mind. He's always been a realist with a pessimistic lean but he now invents things to worry about and even if something isn't working out right, he over analyzes and stresses out over it. I've tried to pull out of Fran some of her mother's behaviors during her battle with cancer, but haven't got much in response except for she, and dad now, ordered and prioritized everything whether it was wrong or right. But who am I to determine whose priorities are right or wrong. Maybe he sees things more clearly at times, but at other moments the worldly things just muddle it up. I do believe though that when your prioritizing starts to delve into the realm of controlling you've lost it. We can't control anything except for our own thoughts and actions; and we're not too good at that. So how does worrying about everything besides your own fight make anything better. Its absolutely exhausting being an optimist.
Good news for Charlie boy. He won't have to have another MRI or lumbar puncture and treatment as usual and time will continue to heal him.
You know, I cried countless times when Charlie was fighting for his young life. I think it was because I really didn't know he was going to make it. I've never cried about Dad.

Breakfast - rice chex cereal and toast w/ apple butter
Lunch - Pizza
Dinner - two angus sliders and some tostidos
Weight - 184.5
Off Day from running
Good Day
My dinner was lacking tonight because I was flying solo tonight, which meant I had Charlie for his therapy, his medicine, his bath, his bottle, his change and his nitey nite while also feeding the dogs and getting myself ready for tomorrow. My super dad role tonight was because my wife, Fran, was treated to a early birthday dinner as her dad came down from Greer this afternoon and boy does she deserve time off and a good meal! She is the real superwoman! Especially now that she is bascially a stay at home mom and loving it! They had to go to the UPS warehouse in North Charleston so they just went over to the Old Towne on E. Montague to a little bistro called Cork. I'm anxious for their review. Tommorow we won't eat so well though as the day will be spent at MUSC for Charlie's surgery. This is to repair an extra ureter from his kidney to his bladder that is causing urine reflux. It's nothing too huge but it will be a relief to get him off one of his medicines and not have to worry about possible urinary tract infections that cause bigger problems. For me though, any surgery is scary so please join me in prayer for my little boy tomorrow as well as all of his medical issues.
