Well our appointments for this week are done.  Randy still is not doing well.  Very weak.  He has no energy or muscle strength.  Walking out to the car takes all his effort.  Please pray for strength for him.  He continues to struggle to eat.  Some nights he can other's he can't.  I worry about this because as a mom we are always making sure everyone has eaten.  Hard not to push him.  His swallowing still has not gotten much better. 

We have out doctor's appointment on Monday March 10th.  This also includes blood work at the hospital.  So another long day for Randy.  Have to go to lab 1.5 hours before the appointment.  This is not enough time to come home so it's sitting around at the hospital waiting.   :(

We celebrated Randy's 48th birthday this past weekend in the FREEZING cold.  Jeff, Shelly, Kyle & Jaret Pawelko, Tim & Rhonda Frizzell and Glen Puschner came over Friday evening.  Had dinner and nice visit with them all.  Thanks for "cooking" you guys.

Mom & Dad Orr, Brad, Jennifer, Clare & Conor Orr, Danny, Kelly, Allysha, Declan & Owen Marshall came over Saturday afternoon.  Had lunch and a nice visit with them all.  Thanks for the meat/cheese platter Jennifer.  Thanks to all of you for braving the cold to come out and visit with us.

Randy handled all the company like a trooper.  Was worn out on Sunday so we had a "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie marathon.  Hunkered down nice and warm on the couch!!

I want to say a big "Thank you" to Glen's mom, Hilda Puschner.  She has been cooking our meals every Wednesday for the last month or so to help us out.  She lost her husband to cancer and knows what we're going through and wants to offer what help she can.  Wednesday's are chemo days so this helps a lot plus she is a very good cook.  Her meals are delicious and always includes a desert, for the sweet tooth I have.....lol...

Hoping this finds you all well.  Thanks for praying for us.
