Celebrated Thanksgiving, all my family was home except my nephew David who is teaching in France. He will be home for Christmas. Two days later we celebrated Christmas since my niece Leah and her husband Jason are home for two weeks from Cairo. My great nephews are now a bit confused as they had two Thanksgivings and two Christmas' within two days.
I'm still dealing with nausea and would like that to go away. However, my energy is slowly returning and I feel like I'm coming out of a fog. I need my platelets to be back up for chemo on Wednesday.
Appreciate you prayers!!
Susan

I was supposed to have my second round of chemo today but my platelets were too low so it's been postponed for a week. Being able to enjoy Thanksgiving is one of the benefits of not having chemo. I have much to be thankful for this year. God is good, all the time!!!!

Tues. Nov. 24

Susan hasn't felt well the last two days. Please pray for her, she wants to feel good for Thanksgiving with the family and also she has another round of chemo tomorrow. We know many are praying, so keep it up. Thanks.

Thought I would give an update though really not much to write. I have chemo again on Wednesday. I'm hoping it will blast those little alien invaders to smitherines and leave the good cells alone. I've had less trouble with nausea this week, have had no side effects from chemo that I can tell. Basically my lingering side effect, from radiation, is lack of energy. I'm very very weak but otherwise feeling okay. I have friends who come from Indiana weekly to anoint me and pray for me for chemo. Amazing, eh?! I'm looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with family. God is good!! I have much for which to be thankful!

Hello!! It's been three days since chemo. I'm doing fairly well so far. I have a little shortness of breath but that's about the only side effect. My friend Annelie just put this quote from Corrie Ten Boom on her Facebook page."Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God." That's what I'm going to choose to do. Appreciate you all.

Greetings my praying buddies! You all are so amazing. I'm so blessed to be surrounded by such a wonderful community of family. I got home from the hospital yesterday after a two day stay to try to get my systems in order. Tomorrow I start chemo. They found that the lesion on my liver had gotten a bit bigger and wanted to start chemo right away. Ask that this chemo would work to get rid of the cancer. Mentally I'm doing really well, just very tired and weak. Still asking for a healing miracle. God knows what will bring glory and honor to his name though.

Monday Nov 16

Susan is doing better. It looks like she may get to come back home today. They were concerned about a bowel obstruction. She isn't in as much pain as she was and not vomiting. Thank you for your prayers.

Sat. Nov. 14

We took Susan to the hospital today. They are keeping her overnight and running some test. Please keep her in your prayers.

It's Wednesday. I got home from the hospital Saturday night. It's great to be home and having family take care of me. I have a bit more energy everyday. I had a bad day with nausea two days ago but got some meds that are helping. Keep praying. I want to be done with this and get back to my life in Asia. A few weeks aga that didn't see possible and still might not be but I have lots more hope. God is the great healer.

Tues Nov 10

Susan is home. She still is on pain medication for headaches and is still sick in her stomach. We tried some new medicine today for her stomach and it seems to be better. She is in bed and and rest and watches some T.V. She goes to radiation every day. She has received so many cards and thank you all for sending them. We appreciate all of your prayers and ask that you continue to to pray for God to heal her.

Sat. Nov 7

Our Lord is great and powerful. There is no limit to what He knows. Psalm 147:5. He is so great that today Susan came home from the hospital. He is so powerful He is walking with her and making her a little stronger each day. There is no limit to what He can do and what His plans are. We are so very thankful she got to come home. She is still very weak, headaches, in bed, but we thank the Lord she is out of the hospital. Thank each one of you for your prayers and please continue to pray.

Today we had good news. Susan is coming home tomorrow. She will continue to have her radiation on an out patient basis. We are happy she is going to be staying with us. We have her room all set up for her. She still is tired and has headaches but we are so thankful she is coming home.

Thurs. Nov. 5

Susan was about the same today. She is eating better. She still has headache and is having her radiation every day. We are so glad we have her in a private room and she is resting better. She did have some physical therapy today and walked down the hall.

Wed. Nov 4

Susan is eating a little better. Which we are glad about. She had more of a headache today. She had another radiation treatment and that is going well. It doesn't look like they are going to start chemo right away, so this will give her some more time to gain back some strength. Thank you for all your prayers and cards. We serve a mighty God and we are all trusting in Him.

Tues. Nov. 3

Susan had another radiation treatment today. She is eating more. She seems to be feeling better. She was talking more today and looked better. She didn't seem as tired. She was moved to a private room, that is really nice and she has a window she can look outside. Continue to pray to pray for her.

Nov 2. Treatment Begins

Susan looked better today. She still has headache, is sick in her stomach, and tired but she seemed better. She is taking medicine for the pain, and nausea. Today was her first radiation treatment on her brain. She once again is fighting the alien that has invaded her body. We are all praying for God to heal her. She said today to tell everyone, so they can pray.

Today Susan was feeling a little better. She has all the tubes removed from her lungs. We are glad the tubes have been taken out. She is now only on pain medicine. We will know more about treatment plan this week. Keep praying.
