Update:

Dad has finished the fourth round of chemo last week and has been doing great!  He handled this round of chemo (along with all the others) like a champ having no side effects!  Like the last update, we can all see improvement with Dad's speech/communication and his balance.  He will have another MRI in a few weeks to see again how the tumors are reacting to the chemo.  

Dad, Mitch and Frankie on game day- GO DUCKS!
Dad is THRILLED that football season has begun!  Every Saturday is like Christmas morning for him.  Proudly displaying his Oregon flag, watching game day and all the other games throughout the day and even going to a few himself (of course with some welcomed company).  He has loved going to the Duck game these past few weeks!  He has also enjoyed hanging out with his grand-daughter Frankie for the past few weeks- she definitely keeps him on his toes and he is definitely being the best grandpa ever!

Megan, Sydney, Mitch and Dad on game day- Quack Quack
Dad's brother, David and his wife Stephanie came up for a long weekend to visit with the family.  It was a great visit for everyone, oh the stories that were told!

Thank you again for all the love, support, prayers, gifts (bread, cookies, goodies, lots of diet coke and chocolate and everything else I might have forgotten).  Thank you for those that have helped with the girls!  It really does mean a lot!  Also, thank you for those that have helped financially!  We can't not express how grateful we are for the generosity of those that have helped out in that way! 

Dad wants to thank you all for the emails (dad loves to read emails from old friends- remembering the good old days...,) calls, visits, texts, lunches, and whatever else that I may have forgotten. 

Love, the Figgats
