Today they started the next two drugs in this chemo round which are running non-stop for 72 hours starting at 3 pm. By 4 pm, Mitch was nauseous and contending with a migraine headache. It was an obvious reaction to the new drug. After increasing his pain medication and sleeping for a couple of hours, he seemed to feel a little bit better but still feels significantly worse than this past week.
The meds are doing their job in killing off the cells. One of these new ones added today is geared to make the leukemia cells more susceptible to the chemo. However, as it works to meet the primary goal; the secondary effect is to suppress his immune system even more. Your continued prayer for his protection (as well as his complete healing) is greatly appreciated.
We're blessed by your support.

We are away on vacation and in our family sharing- time this morning we all (our extended families) shared about your story and are praying for you.
Hang in there Mitch...you are loved.
