Journal entry by Lisa Jarrett —
Wrap up from the last few weeks: Michael finished 10 sessions of radiation without any serious side effects, had a PEG feeding tube placed and is still being treated for a strep pneumonia. He’s fought hard trying to deal with increasing pain and new symptoms. We’ve endured many tough conversations with physicians on what the future holds for Michael. Wednesday he started a chemo treatment that will hopefully give him some temporary relief from the disease progression that is affecting both his arms, and his eye. As of this morning he is feeling the best he has in several weeks. We are extremely thankful for that. He remains in the hospital and will be monitored while he recovers from chemo. As always we remain hopeful that God provides a miracle. 🙏🏻 Please keep those prayers coming. ❤️
