Day 1

Well, today's appointments went as planned and without any difficulties. The chemo treatment took almost 5 hours and so far just some tiredness and a bit queazy (but medicine seems to help). Tomorrow & Thurs. chemo appointments are at 8:40 in the morning. It is important that Dad avoids catching anything (cold's etc) and so we are trying to be careful about that too! God blessed us with an extremely loving nurse, who took a lot of time to explain everything and we our thankful for that!

Dear Vern and Pat,
We’ve been praying for you and Pat since I talked with you that morning at church. I know that was the morning the elders prayed for you; little did I know that I would ask them to pray for me that very next Sunday. Brother, we are going through this same trial together and I know that our kind, loving Savior will carry us through. Keep your eyes fixed on Him by reading His Word and crying out to Him. He will continue to make His Presence a real comfort to you as He has for me especially during this time so that we will not be shaken! “I have set the Lord continually before me; because HE is at my right hand, I will not be shaken (Ps 16:8).” We went ahead and added your blog as a link on our blog page (www.themirandawrites.blogspot.com) so we can keep connected and be praying for one another. We love you both dearly! May He be greatly exalted!

Pressing Hard into Him,
Paul and Arlene
