The tension has broken and I know Dad is sleeping well, tonight. Dr. Horn explained that he indeed had an abnormal reading in one of his blood tests that indicated Leukemia - BUT - it was within a range, that he had seen normally for a man Dad's age. Sometimes positives are not positives, they are maybes, or sort ofs, or no-thing. He had Dad repeat the test again today, and he is to return every six months, so he can keep an eye on the values. Perhaps it is a case where if Dad lives to be 110, the changes will be enough to be Leukemia. I didn't ask since it didn't matter. What mattered was that Dad is okay and can now go on with his life; blessedly unchanged.
And so today heads into tomorrow and I am thankful for it.
