Mike is doing okay. He has had some difficulty with his stomach feeling normal since we've been home, and has also experienced some eating changes, possibly due to a delayed reaction from the radiation and chemotherapy treatments he took for three weeks. He has experienced some instantaneous vomiting when he's feeling fairly well, and other times he'll have a craving for a particular meal at an unusual time of day, for example at 11 p.m. It's been pretty hard to plan meals, so we're trying to stay flexible until things level out a little for him. We're weighing him regularly and we don't believe he's lost any more weight since he's been home, but we'd really like to be adding a few pounds soon.
Mike began physical therapy Monday morning and will continue every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for at least three weeks. They are needing to take things slowly because Mike tires quickly. But he is getting a good hour workout, with scheduled rests in between.
Being home has been wonderful, but it is also becoming an adjustment for Mike. Not being able to do very much is frustrating him a little, and I can tell he is missing his job. Being in Texas was enough of a distraction that he never really dealt with the loss of his job until now. This week, he's just feeling a little out of place and discouraged. Please pray for God's peace and comfort, as he tries to make the adjustment to all of this.
We continue to lean on our faith to guide us through this journey and to work out every little detail that's before us. We would appreciate your continued prayers for protection, discernment, and wisdom.
"Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding." Proverbs 3:5 (Amplified Bible)
