Saturday Night

Greetings!

Today, we have had the honor to have visits from Cheryl J., Cheryl and Bruce E. and the guest they have from France, and Diane and Jim S. This was also a good day for cards and for phone calls. So, it was a good day to be in touch and to communicate with those we care about and are supporting us so very, very much. We are really grateful and thank you! Praise the Lord!

Today, has not been too much different for Marty than the last couple of days. Her blood, as shown by the numbers, is continuing to respond to the chemo and is going down. Her body is also responding to the chemo in negative ways. Today, it does not even like the taste of water – what a bummer. Here you are supposed to drink a lot and your body doesn’t like the taste of it. That is when you have to try to find some other things to drink. But then this too will pass – praise the Lord! We have also decided that there are 6 times of the day that Marty is not liking very well at this present time: 3 of these are when she has to pick up the menu to order a meal; and the other three are when the meals arrive and she has to eat them. But, give thanks and praise to the Lord, she is doing all of those things that she needs to do in order to get well.

Before we sign off for tonight, because it is rather late, we want to say HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all you fathers out there. We hope and pray that you have a very positive and wonderful day with your families and loved ones. It is of course a great day to remember our Heavenly Father as well and all that He has given to you, as well as all the love and support that is available through Him just for the asking. May you have a blessed day and to God be the glory.

Have a positive day and God bless.

Marty and Jack

PS It has been called to my attention that the hospital toll free number I gave in the blog earlier in the week is a wrong number. The correct one is: 1.866.338.2345. Sorry for any problems this may have caused.
