a few updates

On wednesday the radiation machine was down again so Vern wasn't able to have a treatment again until today. I found out that this is quite common with most of these machines and both his Doctors say everything will be able to be completed within their planned time frame. We received a call on friday from his cancer Dr. Dr. fehrenbacher. Vern needed to come in and start taking injections for 7 days because his white blood cell count is too low and if it doesn't come up they won't be able to start his last round of treatments of chemo beginning on tuesday the 19th, 20th & 21st. His radiation is scheduled to end on march 17. He will be giving himself the injections at home so please pray they will work. As I mentioned before he has lost his hair and continues to be very tired and weak feeling but none of the other side effects have been to intolerable. Please continue to pray for us that God give us the strength to continue walking in His great love and that He be glorified. Thank you all again for your prayers and love. vern and pat

Hi Pat and Vern,
We are praying for you both, and will now pray for Vern's white blood cell count. Thank you for demonstrating to the body of Christ a testimony that is glorifying to the Sovereign God of Love and Grace. We love you.
Robert and Sharon

Rev 19:6 Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying,

" Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns
