Hi everyone,
Don't forget ladies! Wear a hat on Sunday to support Melena!
After talking to Jan, I have a huge answer to prayer to share.
Nick is doing much better this time around! He hasn't gotten sick with this round of chemo!! Praise the Lord! He and Jan are so encouraged, and can definitely feel your prayers. He doesn't feel like eating very much at all, but this time around, he has been able to force himself to do it anyway, and it is staying down! They changed 2 of the drugs in the chemo regimen this time around, so that might have something to do with the way this has gone so much better, but I am choosing to believe that it is just the Lord working!!
They replaced his stem cells yesterday, and he didn't get sick with that either!! He has been able to walk around and is ministering to the people in the hospital by reaching out to nurses, patients, and family and friends of patients by giving them his necklaces and earrings. He is definitely being salt and light at UCSF!
The prayer request now for Nick is for the time when the stem cells are going to start fighting their way into his marrow. This is a very painful process, as the stem cells are multiplying and swimming around to get into his marrow and joints, which causes A LOT of very severe aching.
Melana's chemo treatment was last Friday, and she has done better this time around too! She has been able to keep the nausea down to a minimum by catching it before it gets bad and taking some medicine. Praise the Lord for the wisdom He has given doctors!
Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. The family is really seeing the Lord's hand in the midst of this hard time. In the near future you'll be hearing more about ways we can be used to bless them and take care of them, so stay tuned!!
