January 2, Chemo number 5

We are home from the start of chemo round number 5. It will be finished on Friday just in time for Emily's birthday party on Saturday. The good news today is that Mark's lab is all normal. His blood counts have remained normal and the CEA (the cancer marker) fell again to 4.0. (<3 is normal and his maximum was 29). We were excited with the news. Mark is feeling very puny now and is sleeping. We will record the Oklahoma bowl game because I'm not sure he'll wake up for it. He got very tired during this infusion today.

We appreciate all the prayers and well wishes. God bless!!

Hey Mark and Ronda!

Happy New Year! It sounds like the prayers are being answered. Today's prayer is for Mark to get through his treatments with as little discomfort as possible.

Thanks for keeping us updated. You are both on our minds every day. Keep fighting!

Love,

Christy & Jason

Just delete the OU game it will make him sick again. I'm so glad we didn't go to it.

Love ya,
