A week of chemo

Dad was admitted to the hospital yesterday and so far all is going well. He has been very tired of late and spends most of the day sleeping. He will start chemo today and most likely this week he will also need a lumbar puncture. The transplant will start next Wednesday the 21st after 7 days of intense chemo.  

Mom will be staying nearby the hospital for the duration and we ask for your prayers for her as well as the road ahead will not be an easy one.  

We also think and pray for Uncle Ron who will be undergoing the other important part of the transplant. We know all things are in our Heavenly Fathers hands and what a comfort that is!

You all are never far from our thoughts and are always in our prayers. All things are in God's hands and what a comfort that is. We pray that the treatment may be blessed by Him and that He may provide you with all that you may need in the days and weeks ahead. Also for Flo we pray that the days may not seem so long and stressful for you as you spend your days in and close by the hospital.
