Today ended week 2 of treatment for D. It has by far been the most difficult day that he has had dealing with it. His treatment time was changed just for today. So, I'm not sure if it's because he had treatment at 2:40 yesterday and then again at 11:20 this morning (less than 24 hours) or if it's just what happens the longer a person takes radiation. He has been a bit nauseated and very tired. When we got home from treatment, D sat down in the recliner and he has been there most of the day.
B, B, and E came over from BR late Wednesday night and stayed with us until after lunch today. It is always nice seeing and visiting with them. E is such a hoot! That girl has personality +. The weather was beautiful so they were able to spend some time at the beach.
If you've been around me much at all, you know how I feel about God's timing and how perfect it is ~ today we were blessed with one of those perfect timing situations. While D was having his treatment, I started talking to another patient's wife in the waiting room. Turns out they are from Rhode Island, but vacation at Lake Keowee every year. They were in our area on July 4th this year. She even shopped at our Ingles in West Union. How amazing is that?!?! They are believers and it was so wonderful just sitting there talking to her and praising our Lord. If you would, please add Jerry to your prayers.
D's seed implant is scheduled for Wednesday, September 23rd. He will have preliminary testing on Monday, September 21st. We plan to stay a few days after the procedure to make sure everything is OK. He will be scheduled to come back right after Christmas (not sure of exact date yet) for a follow-up visit and possibly 5 - 10 days of more radiation.
I want to say a special thanks to Terry, Carl, Tina, Alex, Angela, and Jeff for taking care of our house, plants, yard, mail, etc. while we are away. You are the BEST!!!!
We appreciate the prayer support from friends and family, too. Your prayers and encouragement are keeping us focused. Love to you all...
