Jan 15, Chemo #6

Mark is more than half way through this chemo round. He is doing remarkably well this time. Of course he isn't feeling great, but all things considered he is having a good round. His appetite seems better this time and his energy level is up. We feel very blessed. I came home at lunch today and we had soup together. I think Mark was missing the cat who used to snuggle up with him in bed while he wasn't feeling well.

Mark made it out for Calen's basketball game tonight. Calen's team lost in the last minute of the game after having the lead the entire game. It was a great game (even with the loss). We took the kids out to Mike and Eds after the game and then came home for homework and showers.

We got a phone call from UAB today. They were waiting on our insurance to approve the CT scan which has now been done. They will call back tomorrow with appointment times, but felt sure they could arrange everything on the 24th. We will hope for that, but if not we can certainly make a few trips to Birmingham.

We continue to pray for Mark's strength and healing and feel that improvements have been made with the chemo. Hopefully the CT scan will show this as well. Keep your fingers crossed and keep Mark in your prayers. We have been truly blessed with wonderful family and friends. God bless you all!!!
