Grandparents visit









My parents came up for a visit this past week. Abigail took some adjusting to the extra people in the house but she soon began to look for them and they were a great help to us. David had a long weekend off school so, with the grandparents babysitting, we even managed to get about 4 hours of totally baby free time! It was great though we never know what to do with ourselves it happens so rarely. An update on my dad is as follows: he had a CT scan on February 7th. Following his 28th chemo treatment. On February 1st he had an MRI scan scheduled. His oncologist, Prof. Cassidy and Prof. O’Dwyer, the surgeon, want to investigate the possibility of liver surgery to remove the two visible tumours that remain on his liver. Whilst we are a little apprehensive, it is a mark of great progress that he has reached this point. At first with multiple tumours on the scans, surgery was totally ruled out. In the meantime, he is doing fine and he feels well. We found out once they had returned home that he has a consultantion on March 3rd with the surgeon.
Here are some pictures of their time this past week.
