Deb and Israel sharing a chemo room this morning

Israel finally hired a full-time helper. It's interesting I'm sure to have an Orthodox jew rooming with a Jehovah's Witness. Israel says he is having a bad reaction to his stem cell transplant which was last Weds.

Met another aviatior from NW Ark who owns a V tail Bonanza. He has been under the care here for almost 20 years. After his first treatment under Dr Barlogie, they had seven normal years before any more treatment was needed. Surely it has gotten better since they began we pray!

Bubba and Ima Jo are in the next room over and looking good.

Deb is eating cup after cip of ice to counteract the chemo affrcts on her mouth.

  3. Oh - poor Deb - those mouth complications sound horrible - I like Paul's idea of ice cream! I was going to suggest popsicles for variety :)

    Praying for you both.....

  4. Dear Deb: I am very glad the ice chips do their work. I also like the idea of popcicles, too. At least that is helping you get through the chemo.

    Thank you and Vern both for sharing your lives with us during this time. I am wishing that you get through this day-by-day.

    Bobby and I are fine. It has been rainiang here. Bobby has planated me the "tomato Jungle." We are hoping for a bumper crop.

    We are just praying for you and blessing the Lord, because of the faith and love He has given you and Vern during this time.

    Love in Christ, Deb and Bob Cook
