I want to Thank everybody for their on-going support. I have had a hard time speaking due to the mouth sores which means very short phone conversations or mostly none. In addition I am so glad I made the choice of a feeding tube as thats mostly would I can do. Wednesday was the last radiation day. For awhile I did not thik I would make it. His strenght carried me through and continues to do so. Since all the treatments are cumlative I am waitng to reach the bottom so things can improve. My next Doctor appointment is on Thursday. I am getting better with taking my pain meds based on Kathy's reminders, resulting in more sleep and mental fogginess. Today things did not get any worse so tomorrow we can make baby steps in healing. Kathy thinks my face is less red. I miss being able to go to church may be next week. I was way to groggy today. I know its been a long-time since my last update. I still apprecaite all the messages even if I have not returned the calls. Time to review all the cards I saved and the blog. Amazing how quick my attitude can change knowing He is concistent. PLease also remember to lift up Kathy and she bears the brunt of my care taking. In addition to Terhart, Duane and Chuck who all helped out this week . I know I have said this before this is a group effort. It got cold again and we woke up this am with a good amount of new snow and Nick out neighbor clearing our front steps and driveway. Kathy did the back later on. I am looking forward to a time of healing and rst with out the meds. Jurgen
