Keep the prayers coming…they are working!! Linda has had a magnificent day and we are praying that will continue! She has yet to get sick and her energy levels are surprisingly high for what she went through today.
The morning started with Linda having a bit of anxiety. However that was quickly rectified once we were at the hospital. The nurse gave Linda a FANTASTIC anti-anxiety drug, which helped her to be calm for the rest of the day. Chemo took 5 ½ hours. Then we ran downtown for radiation. Radiation took longer than it was supposed to. They had Linda in her facial mask, strapped down to the table for 30mins, which is double the maximum time that it was supposed to take. For whatever reason the radiation machine was giving them a hard time, but they eventually got it.
Currently Linda is sleeping and we are praying for a restful night with no complications! Thank you for your continued prayers and for those helping with the meals, they are truly making a difference!!

Linda, Jason and I are so delighted & thankful to hear how your recovery is proceeding! You stay firmly in our thoughts and prayers. We've just been off for a week of vacation....we used some extra points & stayed at a "chalet" at the WorldMark at Klamath Falls: the "Running Y Ranch." Many highlights of the trip included sharing the time with two dear friends from Lewis and Clark: Nette and Joe Mitter...(we're very thankful to have them with us as Nette nearly died last fall due to crises that developed after having a large section of her colon removed). Other vacation delights were getting to see a Great Horned Owl family at the Tulelake, CA wildlife refuge...the youngster who was terribly conflicted about this "learning-to-fly" thing still has us chuckling. Now, we are both back at work, & trying to come back from "vacation brain." Big hugs to you, and to Michael & Katrina. Much love from us...Cynthia & Jason Emerick.
