Today marked day 5 of the chemo. Yesterday and today, Mitch has been more fatigued than earlier this week but, thankfully, his nausea has not been a problem. This part of the chemo regimen has consisted of one 3-hour bag once a day. Tomorrow, he starts 2 more drugs run concurrently, 24 hours a day for three days. We pray he will not get terribly sick from it!
He continues to walk and work out for at least 30 minutes a day earning his title of "Model Patient" from many of the staff.
We were blessed today to hear (once again) of specific prayers for Mitch. It was particularly sweet to hear of young children who regularly carry the burden to pray for Mitch. Some of them know him well; others have only heard of him but regularly pray for his healing. We have frequently talked about the gospel story of the four friends tearing off the roof in order to lower their lame friend to Jesus. A follow-up comment has often been, "I don't care who those four friends are - it could be four children or four prayer warriors in Iowa. We just want to lay him in front of the Lord for healing."
Thanks for bloody-ing up your fingers in tearing off the roof and helping us in this.

I am praying and trusting that God will heal Mitch--hopefully here on earth. I have tried this comment box B4 but didn't work hopefully this one will get thru to you and the family. We love and miss all of you, Nela
