We continue to be comforted and excited to get all the emails and blogs from our friends. We love hearing from everyone. It is like looking at a scrapbook and brings up wonderful memories of time in South Dakota and Abilene.
We had a milestone today. Mike actually took everything on the protocol. Everything. Even though he spent so time throwing up, it was not as bad as yesterday. Melissa, thanks for the advise on taking the medicine in juice. It did help. Especially with the bitter ones. Mike also swallowed 11 pills today. They were small pills, but important ones. It is small step but an important one.
We also had our first IV therapy today with the beet derived Vitamin C and the DMSO. Until this point, we had been using a different Vitamin C. The beet is supposed to be better. Again, the Vitamin C is toxic to cancer and the DMSO tricks the cancer cells into absorbing it. The IV clinic is very interesting. Many people come in for Chelation treatments. However, the largest percentage of people that are seeking treatments/IV's there are medical professionals some with cancer. They are taking the Vitamin C treatments as well.
We are looking forward to the weekend. We don't have any treatments. We just need to get all the medication in him and get him to eat more. It should be easier without all the car trips. God continues to bless us here. So many simple gestures that keep us strong. Today, we were late for the IV therapy. As we got there, FEDEX pulled up with the Beet derived Vitamin C and DMSO. If we had been on time, Mike would have gotten the other therapy. Again, the people at the Bean Stalk have gone out of there way for us. They gave me some broth to help Mike with his medication. They also stocked us up on food for the weekend, since they are closed. All these simple and small gestures we believe come from God's hand.
Please continue to pray that Mike will swallow more and more pills. Pray that we will rest this weekend and build strength. I plan to take Elizabeth to the Aquarium this weekend and hopefully to the beach to shark teeth hunt.
I am tired and I know this is short. We love you!

Hey Y'all, Just checking in on your day before we turn the lights out, and are so thankful to read about such good progress! God is good! May you sleep well and have a nice quiet weekend.
Much love,
Tim and Kathy
You know, I am amazed that you summon up the energy to write as much as you do, so a "short" blog entry is still a blessing to me. I so appreciate being able to read what is happening. It makes me feel a bit like I'm on this journey with you all.
I've never found a shark tooth. Elizabeth, would you find one for me? Also, if you see any pretty sea glass in interesting shapes, I can wrap it with silver wire and make it a pendant for you to wear if you would like that.
Mike, I'm still praying. I'm glad for every bit of forward motion, though I wish you had a bit less "motion sickness"!

I was thinking about words...courage, hope, life, struggle (which only occurs if there is life), mystery ...all great words for a life well lived...in much contrast with fear, darkness, control and despair...
we're praying

Dear Mike, Deanna, Elizabeth,
Gay is spending an overnight with me and we are keeping up with your blog. We continue to be encouraged with the treatments you are doing. What a milestone for Mike to be able to swallow so many pills in a day! Who would ever think that such a small thing would be such a huge step in the daily course of our lives? We continue to pray daily for your continued recovery. We love you all. A special "hi" to Elizabeth. Love, Mary and Gay

Praise God! Especially in the little things. Like the pills, the juice, the being late to the IV place and the truck just pulled up with the supplies. God is in control and watching over you. How many other little things happen every day that we don't even know about, and yet are God's protection & lovingkindness over us, His children? Yes, God is good, His lovingkindness is everlasting. Who can ever thank and praise Him enough?
Our hearts & love & prayers are with you all. Have a nice relaxing weekend and may God bless & refresh each of you.
Much love,
Lynnette Ps. 107:1-2,6,13,19,28.
Deanna, Mike, and Elizabeth,
Your strength continues to amaze me as well as all of the treatments. It is all really interesting and I wonder why modern medicine has not followed this course when it can and does cure people with cancer. As I was praying for you as well as Scott last night, the Lord just continued to remind me that He created and then spoke and everything came into being and that He will be the final one to speak over that cancer and cast it away as far as the east is from the west. He has a plan behind the process, that is for sure.
I continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all.

Igor,
Just got the news. Hang in there, bro. I've seen too many people healed of cancer to doubt that God is able and willing. Keep the faith. The best is yet to come.
