Home for the Weekend!

For in him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28a

It's so good to be home! We made it back tonight after a long trip home - flash floods, water over the interstate, semi off the road. God protected us and it's now so great to be in our own house for a couple nights, hoping to see some family and friends this weekend.

I've made it through the first 5 days of radiation! 20 more visists to go. Chemo pills start on Monday. Please continue to pray that God will guide every radiation beam and pill directly where it should go to best heal me. Pray also for no side effects. My ears have been plugged today and the doctor explained that could be from the radiation. They go in at 5 different spots and 2 of them are right above my ears. Pray that my hearing will be protected. I've also been having a hard time sleeping - not sure if it's being away from home or if it's from the treatment/medication. Pray that I can receive some much needed rest. And pray for peace to overwhelm me each day.

We'll be heading back to Iowa City Monday morning. God bless!
