Day 23 - Siesta Key

Things are moving along quickly. D is in week 3 of the radiation treatment. He tried a little experiment to see if he could figure out why he has been nauseated and tired. The docs prescribed a couple of meds for him prior to the radiation. He takes 1 pill 4 times per day and another pill 3 times per day. The 3 times per day pill seems to be the problem. He has decided to take only 1 each day (at bedtime). D sees the nurse tomorrow, so we'll see what she has to say about that...

D is scheduled for an outpatient procedure on Wednesday, 9/2 at 8:00 a.m. It should be a minor event, but we sure would appreciate your prayers.

The seed implant requires a follow-up visit between 90 and 105 days of the procedure. This puts us back in FL for his follow-up on Monday, 12/28. Most patients have 6 - 10 days of follow-up radiation, too. Lord willing, we will be here from 12/27 until possibly 1/15. We love La Dolce Vita, but is not available during that time frame. It is high season (which means the rates really increase). Please pray that we will find suitable accomodations at a reasonable price.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your faithfulness to pray for us while we are going through this!
