Tony is working hard 3 hours per day with the physical therapist(s) at Huntington Hospital, and will transport back to UCLA on Saturday, August 28th. Tony's goal is to be able to stand up from a sitting position, unassisted. He hopes to be able to do this by the time he comes home, after his third round of chemotherapy in early September.
Tony is recovering very well from his second round of chemotherapy. No nausea or sickness...just a little tired. The hair on his scalp and face have fallen out, to the point that Tony has decided to shave his head. Tony has asked Patrice to buy a "book that illustrates hats", as he wants to show Patrice which hats to purchase!
The 10-inch incision across Tony's abdomen has completely healed.
Visitors come each day and help pass the time. Tony likes hearing about what is going on in the lives of our family and friends. Tony has also asked friend, Kathy Larson, to re-tell (over and over), the stories of what happened while he was unconscience. Good friend that she is, Kathy re-tells the stories as many times as Tony asks to hear them.

Way to go, Uncle Tony! "I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me." -Phil. 4:13 - Love you SO much and can't wait to see you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that Tony is doing so well! Hope Patrice is holding up as well. And tell Tony he doesn't need a hat - bald is really hip now!
