Update 4/5/08

I wanted to share with you the update that I got.

Nick and Jan are back in San Fransisco again. Chemo was supposed to begin Monday, but because they were changing and messing around with some of the medications, it didn't actually end up starting until yesterday. He hasn't felt the huge side effects yet, but is feeling tired and very overwhelmed and anxious at the thought of what is to come. Please pray for his appetite, hydration, along with the stomach flu symptons that are expected to hit soon.

Melana will begin her third round of chemo tomorrow at 1:30. Please pray for anxiousness on her part also, along with relief from side effects. The second chemo was a bit less miserable than the first one, since they were able to get the medications figured out. Now she won't be on the medication that she is allergic to. That always helps!

Dave and Jan are both having to be far apart from eachother, and from one of their children that are going through such a hard scary time. Please keep them in your prayers, that God will sustain and comfort them with His grace.

Melana is losing her hair now, which we expected. She and Laurie picked out a beautiful wig, but a few of us put our heads together and decided to still go forward with our efforts to show support to her by wearing hats on Sunday. So ladies, for this coming Sunday, pull out your "Sunday-go-to-meetin'-bonnets," and let's show Melana our heart for her and what she is going through.

Our care package box is still behind the welcome desk, and if anyone is willing to provide meals, we have a few families these days that would be most blessed to be loved in that way. (Bresnyans, Faglianos, and now the new Lee parents!) Give me a call or email if you would like to help in that way. 625-1457

Thank you all for your love, support and care for the Bresnyans. As hard as this time is for them, when the church becomes the Lord's hands and feet to come around and help them, God is glorified and the Bresnyans are encouraged! YAY!
