My dad has had several health scares over the preceding months from his chemo and transplant about a month and a half ago. I am still praying for a miracle. He seems to be getting stronger each day, but still has problems with eating, needs help to move from place to place (he's now using a walker), his diet has mostly been IVs with small meals at mealtime, but his diet is extremely limited based on his own likes/dislikes, which seem to be changing quite frequently.

During all of this, my mother has sufferred from severe back pain and is also scheduled for surgery in the next couple of weeks. I don't know how this will go as she is the primary caregiver for dad and they are still in the transplant house, he is not able to drive, etc.....
