LOOSING WEIGHT ....

Weight 118

Greetings Everyone,

May God’s Blessings Be with you💖🙏🏽💖

Friday marked the end of week number 4. 

Radiation is going well. His throat is beginning to open up. This is a major blessing !! Thank you Jesus !! Mark has developed some sores, they are from the radiation, on his back that itch and of course he scratched until they ..... well you know !!! So the doc gave him some cream to help relieve the itchy feeling and the dry skin. 💖🙏🏽💖

His weight went down to 118. This is a concern. He has no appetite. VA is suppose to send some medication to increase his appetite but he hasn’t received it yet. This medication takes time to get approved and mailed. So we wait. In the meantime he’s had 4 hydrating treatments of 2 liters  this week. It’s not a solution for nutrition but it does help with fluids. 💖🙏🏽💖

(He doesn’t like water,he says it has no flavor)

Now.... let’s talk Chemo. 

This week the doctor said no chemo. Marks blood count that fights off infection is down

Lower than it should be. The doctor said it’s not unusal  so he got a week off from chemo. 

For the most part his spirits are great💖🙏🏽💖

I must say that all of the horrible things they said would happen during this radiation, chemo treatment hasn’t materialized. Things like , you’ll have the worse sore throat you’ve ever had, you’ll be sick, you won’t be able to swallow, none of that has happened. We feel so blessed and we know it’s because of God’s Mercy and All of your Prayers and Love. Thank you All so very much. You all have blessed us with your prayers and love. I know God is going to Richly Bless All of you. 💖🙏🏽💖

We have 2 weeks to go and then the big day to see if it’s gone. We are very excited and extremely hopeful for good news, God has been blessing Mark , one step at a time with Hope , on this journey. Thank you Lord Jesus 💖🙏🏽💖

We are asking for prayer for continued shrinking of this cancer. Praying for another week of successful radiation and for Marks blood count to come back up to normal levels so he can go on with his chemo treatment. We are asking for prayer for Marks appetite to return and for him not to loose anymore weight. 💖🙏🏽💖

I am asking for prayer for Mark to draw closer and closer day by day, moment by moment to Jesus. I pray for Jesus to fill his body and mind with His Peace that surpasses all understanding and I pray for Jesus to fill his heat with His Light and Love. In your name, Jesus I come to you in prayer 💖🙏🏽💖
