Glen update - Sept 4th

Once again it's been awhile...busy, busy times.

With the exception of a sore throat, abdominal aches, 24 hr period of nausea, and general tiredness, Glen has done a lot better with round #2 of chemo.  He is now 40 pounds lighter [and still bald] and looking good while sporting his suspenders.

Unfortunately, Peggy has not fared as well.  Two days after Glen had chemo round#2, Peggy hurt her back.  Literally, for the first two weeks Peggy remained in a flat position on the bed with the exception of a few very painful minutes upright each day.  A recent MRI showed no damage that will require special treatment but doc says it will take about 6 weeks for Peggy to recover.  She can now lay in a bed or stand/walk with minimal discomfort but sitting is a whole different story.  She is feeling a little guilty for reversing the caregiver roles with Glen.  Fortunately,  Jennifer, Christy, and Judy [Peggy's sister] have been able to coordinate days with each other that one of them could stay in McMinnville during the majority of the first 2 1/2 weeks of Peggy's back issues [and Chico and Lynne have been great about feeding Peggy and Glen when the girls can't be there].  Jennifer came home this last Friday [the 31st] because Peggy and Glen insist they can handle it on their own.  So far so good....

Today, Sept 4th, Glen has round #3 of chemo.  We pray Glen handles the chemo well as it battles the nasty lymphoma and we pray Peggy continues to recover.

Thanks as always for the prayers and help.  We all appreciate it.  God bless you all!
