Wow, it has been almost a whole month since we have updated the blog. The month of June brought us many special visitors that blessed us so much. It was great to see Teresa, Wayne and Luke from New Mexico and Cathy, Janice, Micah, and the boys from Midland. My friend from college and nursing school, Sylvia, came from Virginia. It has been decades since we have seen each other, yet it was like the time did not pass. Barb and Dirk from Georgia were a blessing and such a help. Since we have not been able to get to Colorado, some of our Colorado Family came to Texas! We would have much preferred to have a “Jeepnic” on top of Saxon Mountain, but came up with a substitute, a “Citynic” on top of the Omni Hotel in Dallas. Price enjoyed the time from a very comfortable chair with a wonderful view of the city. The best part was spending the time with Kim, Pete, Claire and Gracie. Carol and Catherine have both been here often. They are a joy and a huge help. All our special visitors brought us much happiness, support, and joy.
Price finished radiation June 27th. The post radiation period has hit him especially hard leaving him very tired and weak. He is also having frequent episodes of vomiting/dry heaving . We are thankful that the J-tube he received in May is supplying all the calories and water he needs. This has helped him maintain his weight. We are trying different therapies to help with the retching. Price is also having more discomfort. This is usually controlled by simple oral medication. A CT Scan is scheduled for July 19th. The results will help us determine the next steps. We are taking each precious day at a time. Please continue to pray.
Thankfully,
Jan
Oh Father! We echo these requests, thanking You for Price's faith, joy, and assurance. How the whole family blessed us when we were together! We praise You, Father, and continue to ask for wholeness, ease, and strength. In Jesus' precious Name, Amen. Love you guys,
