It's been a rough few days for dad, multiple health issues have come up so are we just taking one day at a time. If these issues get cleared up in the next few days they will move him to the rehab wing of Mercy.
I thought he seemed better today, and maybe he didn't seem so exhausted. He did have a bout of nausea today, but never vomited so that's good.
Thanks again for your encouragement, sorry I don't have more to report!
Quick Update: Bob was diagnosed with multiple myeloma on September 10, 2008. Some of the tumors were on his spine. Part of his spine was removed, and he has recovered from that surgery quite well. The chemo & radiation have started and we are praying that his body accepts the treatments, and God frees his body of the cancer!
This is his faithful journey...
God is Good - 2 year Celebration
What is Multiple Myeloma?
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of your plasma cells, a type of white blood cell present in your bone marrow. Plasma cells normally make proteins called antibodies to help you fight infections.
In multiple myeloma, a group of abnormal plasma cells (myeloma cells) multiplies, raising the number of plasma cells to a higher than normal level. Since these cells normally make proteins, the level of abnormal proteins in your blood also may go up. Health problems caused by multiple myeloma can affect your bones, immune system, kidneys and red blood cell count.
God is Good!
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Mark 12:30
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
Philippians 4:13
I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
