just to let you know

Vern finished his last day of chemo today. You can tell he is more tired and weaker but that is to be expected. Radiation will continue everyday but weekends until 3/17. That could change since the machine was down for a few days. The radiation will burn not only the skin like a sunburn but also his insides. God has been very gracious and his skin is fine but his esophagitis (the tube that goes from his mouth to his stomach) has become very irritated and has caused his throat to be sore and he has difficultly swallowing. Would you please pray this won't last long and God would help him tolerate it. As I'm typing he is resting in HIS chair and when I look at him I can only be so thankful to jesus for bringing us together and keeping us together. It will be forty years this May. Vern and I like to say we know the road together isn't over yet but we both know where we will be when it ends and thats in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thanks again for taking the time to read our updates but most of all for your prayers.
