Well, it has been another hard week. Mike is still throwing up and not eating. He tried yesterday to eat an apple and orange but they came back up. I asked him why an apple and orange and he said because he was hungry for them. I do consider that a praise. He was hungry for them. He has thrown up today. He is getting that metallic taste in his mouth from the chemo. He says it is in his saliva and he swallows it and it makes his stomach upset.
We went to the Cancer Center today and had a PET Scan. We will get the results on Monday morning. Mike was injected with radio active stuff to light up the cancer so we will know a little more about what is going on.
Mike is also getting very winded right now moving around. We are praying that it is related to the Chemo. All his blood work looks fine at this point. His red blood cell and white blood cell are holding steady.
So the bright spot in the week is Sherry flew in from England and is staying for the week. She might get a little bored, but it is awesome to have her here. Angela was also here from Midland for two days. It was fun to have girl talk and we went to lunch and went to Sam Moon to shop. A little taste of normal.
Please Pray:
Mike to gain weight
PET Scan to show miraculous results
Energy and sleep
Mike to stop throwing up
Wisdom for treatment options
Elizabeth
Me to find some energy...
Praise:
Friendships
Laughter with friends
Col Fowler and his magic wand
good books that speak to your soul

Deanna,
When we read your blog each day, the song "Jesus Saves!" begins to run through my head. When we read of your trust in God and your ability to do the next thing, I think of how SAVED you are. Walking this road you're on without Jesus would be undoable, and although we all ache for your struggles, we know that He saves -- not from hurt, not from struggle, but in REAL ways He saves us and allows you to carry on despite the painful imperfections of this world. We're praying for you and know He sustains, He heals, He hears each one who calls on Him. Much love,Kathleen
We have heard the joyful sound: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Spread the tidings all around:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Bear the news to every land, Climb the steeps and cross the waves;
Onward! 'tis our Lord's command;
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Waft it on the rolling tide; Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Tell to sinners far and wide: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing, ye islands of the sea; Echo back, ye ocean caves;
Earth shall keep her jubilee: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing above the battle strife, Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
By His death and endless life, Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing it softly through the gloom, When the heart for mercy craves;
Sing in triumph o'er the tomb- Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Give the winds a mighty voice, Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice -- Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free, Highest hills and deepest caves;
This our song of victory-- Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Yes! Jesus saves!!
Sending our love and prayers....and a BIG hug with special Birthday wishes to Elizabeth!!!! All our love, The Maxwells
