Friends of Mitch:
Daily trips to the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance are comprised of lab work, injections and the occasional infusion of platelets or other sustaining substances. The key at this point is getting the white cell counts up and the temperature down. Fighting infection is the biggest battle. The number one evidence is a high temperature. So, well placed, cold soda cans and ice bags do the trick for the most part.
God is very much in the conversation and center of life. Praise the Lord! We continue to pray for healing and health and a thorough growth through all of this. Mitch's attitude is truly remarkable. Dad and mom took him to dinner at a favorite spot. He excused himself to vomit in the restroom for several minutes. Given the opportunity to leave, Mitch simply returned to the table and said, "Now I've made some room, let's enjoy our meal."
Now is the waiting game to see if more chemo is needed due to returned cancer cells, or if we can proceed to the transplant. Pray for healing and the latter. Chemo is not a welcomed bed-fellow.
Blessings,
Matt and Marlene
