Hi Everyone: Well, we are 15 days from the end of the medicine. Give or take a few, possibly. The week Jim was on the meds in the hospital counts towards the 6 weeks, so...The doc called today and Jim's kidney's are getting worse. He's been having bad kidney numbers since the chemo/stem-cell transplant, but being on this medicine, they really started to creep up there. At one time, Jim was told that he is at half kidney strength. I'm afraid to ask with these newer higher numbers today. Today's numbers were the worse so far. Please pray for protection of his kidneys. The kidney doc believes after this med treatment the numbers will go back down to "not so good" rather than "pretty bad." Also, it kind of feels like 15 days of not having to look at whether this medicine even worked or not, and then having to make another decision. I am calm tho, which is good. Jim's a bit more nervous. The women at bible study today laid hands on me and prayed and I continue to feel the peace of the Lord through this. Thanks friends. And Jim and I continue to wait on the Lord together, held up by the love and prayers of all you family and friends out there. We love you. Us PS Gary, for some reason, I can't e-mail you. I have been trying to do so since I got your card. Still trying. Didn't want you to think I didn't get it yet. Thanks mate.
