Pop is starting to feel better

Pop is having another good day. He has felt well with no significant symptoms or side effects. He was scheduled to have colonoscopy this evening (a tube up the culito). This was basically to see if he had any internally bleeding or other problems that would prevent him from eating and pooping. If all goes well with that, he will begin liquids this evening, and eventually a soft diet in the morning.

We’ve had many phone calls from concerned family members (Uncle Paul, Titi Elba, Diane Gonzalez (Chati’s wife), Gringy and Pop’s brothers and sisters from Philly). We (his children) all appreciate everyone’s concern for Papi. I called Eleana (our sister in Puerto Rico) this evening and let her know what was going on also.

We haven’t discussed what further treatment options will be pursued once he recovers from the side effects of chemotherapy. I’ll keep you all posted.

The picture of Pop here was obviously taken at Melissa’s a couple of months ago.



FYI: Just so you are aware, the time posted at the bottom of the comments is always about 3 hours earlier than Eastern Time. I don’t know why this is.
