Randy has been struggling with pain (intense) and fatigue (overwhelming) since I last posted an update.  The pain is in his back and lower abdomen area.  He has told me it is a sharp stabbing pain.  Dealing with this pain zaps all of his energy so spends most the day resting or sleeping.  Going out for our appointments takes all he can muster.  The car ride on the bumpy, snowy roads make it very uncomfortable and he is so thankful once we get home.  I try to avoid as many bumps as I can while driving but some are unavoidable.  Tomorrow we head out again to get the bottle changed and the port-a-cath flushed out

Randy is overwhelmed at the amount of people praying for him and wishes to send his love and thanks to all of you. 

I had a wonderful lunch on Sunday with a beautiful and caring woman who has gone through a trial in her own life.  She has enlightened me the fact that there is a light at the end of this long dark tunnel and that you can come out the other side.  Thanks so much Gail, in my moments of despair I will remember what we talked about and use that to pull myself up. 

As Christmas Eve is a week away Our Family would like to let you know as you pray for us we send our prayers out to all of you. 

    Love Randy, Kim, Dan, Andrew and Matthew.
