Tomo-kun likes the "rocking goat" he got from one of Akihiro's doctor friends.
Within a few days of beginninnig Whole Brain Radiation(WBR), Dad experienced a painful blood clot in the lower left leg. He has been on blood thinners ever since and though the swelling and pain is gone now, the leg is still very weak. Because of this leg weakness he now uses a 4-wheel walker with a seat on it. He got a recumbent exercise bike and has a goal of exercising 30 minutes every day to get that leg working again.
The side effects of the WBR have been extreme fatigue, nausea, and hair loss. He continues to eat a healthy, but palatable diet.
15 radiation treatments done, 5 to go!!!!
He is glad for visitors, just please call first. Thank you for your continued prayers for Dad and for our family.
