Slow progress

We'd really love to be telling folks that recovery has been miraculous but in truth it is very slow. John is still very tired and needs to rest often. He woke up feeling really refreshed yesterday and decided to drive himself for some blood work, to a job site and the office but returned shortly after exhausted and hadn't made it to the office. Unfortunately, he is now plagued with heartburn and insomnia each night.

Blood work was to check his tumor marker and although we don't know the results yet, your prayers that it will be significantly lower are appreciated as this indicates the chemo is working.

Although this whole mess stinks, we know there are positive things happening spiritually for various folks as a result. So that is something to be thankful for.

It is nice to have John and Mindy here for a few days and Mindy and Audrey are really helpful in the kitchen.

Happy 4th.
