Nov 14th

Mark was doing so well yesterday, but last evening he developed some sinus problems. He felt a little worse this morning. We've given him some OTC sinus medication to help with symptoms. He has developed a slight fever of 100.3 this afternoon. If the temp goes above 100.5, we will have to call the oncologist office. He is now pushing fluids to try and hydrate and we are hoping he will kick this quickly so as not to delay the next round of chemo scheduled for Monday.

Thanks for all the prayers and support once again.

Mark:

Hang in there man - Chemo can wimp out your immune system, and Jonathan Had quite a few little fevers.

You're in our prayers.

Mark,

Like Keven said, you have to get better. Think about how this affects me. No one else is willing to write papers with me and I'm certainly not capable of doing quality work on my own. Just because every paper you've written without me has published and none of the 7 we've written together have...Well, just get better.

Hi Matt. I was so shocked when Lou came in to tell me about you, but all so glad he did and got me hooked up to this site. I have kept up with you and Ronda thru Matt.
My prayers and thoughts are with you. I know one of the important things to lick this is to really believe in your treatment.
I am so sorry you have to go thru all of this.
May God bless you and your family thru this difficult time.

Love Sheila Phelps

Well, I was finally able to get in to send you a little get well message. After only 3 tries. That's because I was trying to be a big girl and do it on my own (without the girl's help). We are so sorry to hear about your illness. We know you will beat this. You're a fighter. Mandy will be glad to have another vegetarian in the family. We have you, Rhonda & the kids in our thoughts and prayers everyday. Thanks for keeping us posted with what is going on. We Love You All. Tina, Tim, Meghan & Mandy
