Today was my dad's 1st day of chemo. The doctors loaded him up on anti-nausea medication to try to help ease some of the sickness he would feel. He will be going in every Tuesday for three weeks then get one week off and start again. They also are giving him calcium to help his bones.
I spent the day with my dad on Saturday and he seemed like he was his old self again! It was one of his best days that I have seen in a while! We played games, talked and watched some tv. He is starting to lose his hair now which has been really hard on him. He has always had lots of thick hair. He wears his hat to hide it but often takes it off and feels his head. I think when he does that it makes him depressed. Its heart breaking to watch. Here are a few pictures of his good day we had and a picture of his hair. 
Please keep him in your prayers!

Oh, he IS in our prayers! What an amazing guy. He'll look awesome without hair. I hope that doesn't sound flippant, but really, some of my favorite people, are bald and they're almost always the funniest people I know. Soon we can add Uncle Ryan to the ranks (for a little while, only)
I'm glad you've posted about this. It's really great to be updated. We're so glad to see that you are all doing your best to deal with the situation. Love you guys.
