What's Up Doc

Dad had his check up today and received the news that he needs to exercise his left arm and hand more. Mom also saw her doctor today and yes the feeding tube was removed! Yeah! Pray that the site heals up nicely and also for a little healthy weight gain. Yes I did say weight gain- I know we do not often get the request to pray for a gain. Mom will see the oncologist tomorrow in Greenville and we will then know more about the timing of the chemo. They want her to have about 2 weeks for her feeding tube site to heal first before we start the chemotherapy. Jenyl is driving them home right now so pray also for a safe trip home during this weather.

Praying for weight gain is absolutely Biblical. I think one should start with chocolate. We are so happy that all continues to go well with you folks. Our prayers continue for your recovery and for God to sustain you and your family. Sorry about all that snow and ice.
Love, Gary and Jeanne

Looks like things are finally on an upturn. Wish I could give your mom some of my excess weight--we'd both be better off for it. I pray that the future will give your mom and dad better health and that God keeps you all warm and healthy. Keep the faith!!
