Quick Update

Mike had Chemo on Friday. Overall, he is doing well. Some throwing up - but not too bad. He is very tired today though. His platelets have started to drop today - down to 109. I am asking for prayer coverage with his blood for all those praying for us.

Mike is going in for another esophageal stretch tomorrow morning. He is scheduled at 9:30 am CST. He had two things get caught on Thursday and we decided to jump on this before it got worse. The funny thing is that he had a cup of chicken gumbo with 5 hush puppies Friday night and that went down. Meat and all. He hasn't eaten much since yesterday though (Chemo). I always have such anxiety over all these procedures. You would think it would become routine by now. It is not.

I want to thank every that posts on the blog - we read them all and we are looking into the options for the house. We are not sure if we qualify or not. Maybe under the wounded warriors. What I do hope is that everyone is learning from our road. We have planned for retirement, death, college education, etc. But never for Disability. I always viewed disability as losing an arm, etc. It never occurred to me that cancer, or any other more common disease could be considered in the disability range. If only we had taken disability insurance on the house... Honestly, I know I say this every time, but Mike is still here and able to be an incredible loving husband and father. That is all that matters.

May God Bless your day, your family, and shine through you!

(I will post tomorrow night after procedure. Please pray that the results are as miraculous as the last time!)
