Jan 12

Hello everyone!! It's been a few days since I've written. Mark has been doing great. He is feeling better than he has in a long time and is enjoying every minute of it. He has been going to the gym and we went on a walk in the neighborhood yesterday. We planned to go again today, but time got away from us. Going in to the office is becoming much more regular now and Mark spent Friday interviewing a job candidate and has another one Sunday. It's really been nice having him feel so good.

We're going to have to start gearing up for chemo again on Monday. Mark starts feeling bad just thinking about the chemo. He says that the morning of chemo, he starts feeling bad even before they've hooked him up just because he knows what's coming. The good news this time is that we're at round 6 and we actually get to find out how the chemo is doing. The CEA marker has fallen, but the true test will be the CT scan. We are hoping that it will be the same day as Mark's genetics appointment at UAB, which is Jan 24th.

Colton had his first basketball game today and his team won. (Actually at this age, they don't keep score but in my family they do). Colton did well. He made several steals, made one free throw and didn't have any fouls. He really enjoyed getting out there and playing.

Continue to keep Mark in your prayers as he continues to fight this terrible disease. We feel very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family supporting us. God bless!!
