Dear Friends,

Today was a little more of a bright day again. Jerry's sedation was lowered today and at one point for just a little while was completely stopped to see if he could begin to awaken while still being able to maintain his oxygen and respiration levels in hopes of weaning him from the ventilator. He never opened his eyes, but he was able to move his head and legs some. This process will be repeated again tomorrow after his CT scan. He will have a CT scan of his lungs tomorrow morning to see if the tumors are responding to the chemo and shrinking. We are praying and believing that God is going to surprise us with good results!

Jerry's white blood cell count has dropped pretty low due to the chemo and today we had to wear face masks while in his room to prevent the spread of any colds or infections to him. I am still so hopeful and believe that Jerry is going to conquer this rough wave that has rolled into his life, especially since our "Anchor" still holds. Besides he's in a "WIN - WIN" situation!

Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

Thank you all for being so faithful in praying along with me for Jerry's health. Perhaps we need to pray for God to respond quickly...at least that's what my brother is hoping for since he said my sister is about to wear the varnish off his floor from pacing back and forth as she prays!

Love,

Candy
