Nov 22, Thanksgiving

Mark finished the chemo yesterday. His appetite hasn't been great, but he is trying to eat. This morning he woke up feeling nauseated with some vomiting. He has been able to eat since then and his stomach seems to have calmed down some. He got to visit a little with Danny before he left for the airport this morning.

Mark's oldest brother, Shaun, made it in this afternoon with his wife and 3 children. We ate Thanksgiving dinner around 2pm. It was a great meal and we had a good time. We had a total of 18 people. Harris smoked a turkey for us and it was delicious. We also fried a turkey. Steve Swider and Jordan came for dinner. Mark was able to eat a little of all of his favorite dishes and enjoyed the meal. The day has worn him out and he is resting now. He says he just feels very fatigued. Hopefully each day will get better after the chemo.

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Thanks for all the calls, cards, visits and prayers. Also, thank you Jason and Christy for letting us borrow your air mattress. Finding extra beds for this many has been challenging (especially with the holiday and Iron Bowl this weekend).

God bless!!
