Mark is having his roughest day so far. He is on the continuous infusion of the 5FU and woke feeling nauseated and puny. He had some breakfast, but hasn't felt like eating since. He is still in good spirits considering the constant nausea. Ronda went to work for a few hours this morning, but is back home taking care of Mark this afternoon. Hopefully this is a temporary effect. His 5FU should be finished around noon tomorrow.
Matt (Mark's twin brother) had his colonoscopy yesterday and it was normal which is a relief for everyone. His sister and older brother are scheduled for their procedures soon as well.
Colton's team lost their game last night. Colton had a great game with several tackles and got his name called over the loud speaker which was exciting. They received their second place trophies and we took a lot of pictures after the game.
Again, thank you to everyone for your prayers, calls, cards and visits. Also a huge thank you to The Orthopaedic Clinic who have overwhelmed us with generosity and provided several meals. We cannot say thank you enough.

Let me know when Mark gets his appetite back. I'm going to make him one of those venison hams he loves!

Hang in there and remember we're a street over from you. Much Love , Ted, Jean, Pfeiffer and Austin
Mark and Ronda I just wanted to leave a bible verse Psalm 41:3 "The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness" Also read(Psalm 50:15; 94:12 and 138:7) I hope this comforts you love and prayers Christy Parker
Mark:
One thing we learned through Jonathan's treatment - there are often additional nausea meds they can give you (we used to call it "better living through pharmacology). After all, we wouldn't want to offend the folks that spent all that time making those pills.
So be sure to keep bugging your oncologist. A surprising number of people never bother to ask.
Hang in there buddy.
