Nov 8, Day after first chemo

Mark is still feeling bad today. We were hoping for him to feel better. He is having some abdominal pain and required some pain medication last night and again today. Luckily it makes him sleepy and he has been able to get some rest. His appetite is only fair still. Hopefully it will improve later in the week. Chemo is certainly hard on the body.

Mark's parents, Brent and Kathy, are still here and helping with everything from grocery shopping to homework and dropping off and picking up kids. The kids have certainly enjoyed having their grandparents here for an extended visit.

Continue to keep Mark in your prayers. The comments, cards, visits and calls are uplifting for him. We even have a card from the University of Alabama (thanks Linda) on the dresser.

Hey Mark,

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that all of us in your class are pulling for you. We've got faith in you and know you'll kick this thing in the butt, no problem. Keep on fighting.

P.S. Class just isn't the same without you!

-Your buddy, Dougie

Mark,

I read a quote this morning and thought of you..

"In the depths of my winter, I found in myself an invincible summer"

That is how I see you - invincible.

Stay Strong. We Love You!
