New York, New York
We are back from Vegas, but not back with extra money. After losing a little we decided it wasn't THAT much fun to lose money and stopped after two days of trying.
We arrived on Tuesday morning and hung out at the pool and lazy river. We had dinner at
Fiamma Trattoria with everyone there for the wedding. I think there were over 20 people. On Wednesday we traveled to The Little White Chapel where we met Elvis and Amanda and Dan got hitched. Elvis liked dad a lot and as you can see by the pictures, dad enjoyed him as well.
Thursday we toured multiple hotels, saw a show at the MGM called Crazy Horse, and it was horrible.... so bad that Amanda and Dan walked out! We all left on Friday and headed home. (more pictures to come...the computer was slow)
There are a lot of great pictures on Facebook too...especially from the professional photographer.
Grandpa Barber
His cancer is back.... unfortunately that means that he will have to start chemo. He had a port implanted Thursday (to receive the chemo), has his pacemaker checked on on Monday, and starts his first round of Chemo next Thursday. For those that read this, keep him in your prayers. I have never known him without hair, so that alone is too hard to take. We hope the chemo works or at least helps him feel better. He is only 5'2 and 126 pounds at the moment, and shrinking daily because the smell of food makes him sick. The dr's have given him a pill to help with the smell of the food and has allowed him to eat more than before.
This morning he was rushed to the hospital because he couldn't breathe... I am so thankful that Amanda and Mom are with him!
Grandpa had his first round of chemo last Thursday and so far so good. They don't think he was able to battle the congestive heart failure/double pneumonia without the chemo. In other words, they thought the cancer wasn't letting his other areas heal, so they gave him the chemo. He is still eating, but very little, on oxygen 100% of the time, and still is doing breathing treatments. We don't see an end to the hospital stay at the moment, but he was able to enjoy visitors including little Emily.
