December 14

We made our trip to Callaway Garden's Fantasy of Lights tonight along with Duane, Stacy and David Brandon. The weather was perfect and we all had a great time. We went early to avoid the big crowd, so we were all starving after the trolley ride and went to Logan's in Opelika for a late dinner. Mark enjoyed the evening. We were certainly blessed with Mark feeling well and great weather, so we couldn't have been happier. Thanks to the Brandons for the wonderful evening.

Mark and I got a little Christmas shopping done earlier today since it is the last day I am off when the kids will be in school and we can get away without them. We didn't finish, but got quite a bit done.

Brent and Kathy made it back to Oklahoma safely. They were relieved to find their house intact. They had power and no trees down from the ice storm.

Mark will go in Monday for his 4th round of chemo. This will be the second time with Avastin. He didn't feel so great after the last infusion, so we hope this one will be better. I've been doing more reading on Mark's type of cancer which only brings more questions. We will meet with the surgeon at UAB again in January so we will have a lot of questions for him. We will also have a repeat CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis at that time.

Continue to pray for Mark's healing and strength. God bless!!
