Memorial Day Party at the Woollard's 5/24/08

Mom and Dad always look forward to the annual Memorial Day Celebration with their great friends and neighbors . . .the Woollards.

It is heart-warming to know that they are able to enjoy great food and great company with their friends. Thank you Ed, Ruth & Family.

Dad had his 5th Radiation treatment today and briefly saw the Radiologist. Tomorrow, Dad will have his 6th Radiation treatment - plus his second Chemo treatment - he will have blood work done as well.


Dad is feeling pretty good - his current symptoms are: irritated throat, his chest is sore when he walks a distance (to the mailbox) - Dad was given two different prescriptions to help with the irritation to his throat.

Praises & Prayer Requests:

• Dad started strong - please pray that he ends the treatment strong


• Pray that side effects will be minimal and that his throat and esophagus will not get too irritated


• Dad has been able to get outside to a few of Levi's ballgames, help the boys cut trees on Shawn & Becky's property and is working in the yard - pray that he is able to continue to do what he enjoys


• On Week 4 or 5, a new CT Scan will be done to see if progress is made in shrinking the tumor - pray that treatment is successful - better yet ...... pray that the tumor is gone!!!
