Psalm 41:3
The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness.

Good news! Dad was able to eat a little bit today and he didn't throw up. Thank You, God, for this answer to prayer. Mom said the doctor told him he wasn't ready to get the feeding tube yet because something (Mom couldn't remember what it was exactly) wasn't at a high enough level. But now that he has started eating again, maybe he won't need to get the feeding tube. Please pray for wisdom as Dad makes these decisions.

Dad has had a rough week following the first round of chemo. He was throwing up constantly, unable to keep anything down. As a result, he lost even more weight (now he's probably less than 120 lbs) and became very weak. On Thursday he was put on an IV to get re-hydrated. He's
starting to feel better now and is glad that the tumors are shrinking. Tomorrow, (Sunday) the doctor wants to insert a feeding tube. The problem with this procedure is the possibility of the cancer spreading to his stomach. Please continue to lift him up in prayer for strength, that he'll be able to eat and get the nourishment he needs and that the cancer will die and not spread to anywhere else in his body.
