Hello all,

Sorry I have not posted for a while.  There is not much to post right now as we are in a wait and see situation.  As there is not much change day to day its hard to know what to say.  So to let you all know I will update this blog when something new happens. 

Right now Randy is doing ok.  He is managing any side effects with an anti-inflammatory and codeine.  The pain and heartburn are mild to moderate right now.  Might be another couple weeks before it could get worse and then subside.  It has been 1 week since the treatments ended so could be another 3 - 5 weeks before we know if the tumor will shrink. 

His days involve resting, working on his model and watching TV.  Randy does not have much energy as that is a side effect of radiation and because he is not eating solid food, so when he gets tired he just goes to sleep. 

I have found this prayer below for all of us to pray for strength because we also need help dealing with this situation too.

Prayer for Strength and Faith
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Dear Lord, see me through these hard times. In these troubling times, I am filled with unspeakable fears. I reach out my hand to you now, And ask you to walk besides me. I cannot carry all my burdens, But I know you can, and will. Please walk beside me. Please guide me. Please help me hold on strong, Through the trials and storms. Help me hold on to my faith, In even the darkest hour. Stay with me Lord, And show me Your way. In your love and Holy Spirit I abide. Amen.

I will update this blog every couple days or so with a quick line or two regarding Randy or when something new happens.

Thanks for you continued prayers,

Kim
