New Treatments Begin

After some searing pain that's been piercing dad's lower back the last few days, doctors have decided to resume radiation treatments. Dad will be going to the center for treatment each day after mom gets off work, with 10-12 treatments in all.

We pray that these treatments will a) manage the pain and b) not produce yucky side effects.

My plans are to head to my parents' home this weekend, if the weather cooperates. Thanks to all who have said that you check back regularly, and intercede on dad's behalf regularly, too.

I consider all of you part of "my family." You are holding me up during a very difficult time, and trust me, it makes all the difference.
