Good Morning everyone.......
Joe was very tired all day Friday & slept quite a bit. He turned sick at dinner Friday night, but after taking an anti-nausesa pill, it passed without throwing up. The alarm sounded on the chemo-pump around 8:00 p.m.(empty). The UT Shuttle (Texas Police) took us to the hospital around 9:00 p.m. & the pump was removed around 9:30 p.m. He was really thankful to get rid of that thing.
We walked to McDonalds to get breakfast this morning & guess what....Joe got to eat without having to take the anti-nausea pill.....Thank the Lord.... (for every little thing). He is still eating well, and had little or no trouble swallowing this morning. So far he hasn't lost weight.
Even though its Saturday, we have to go back to the hospital for another class on taking care of the port in his right arm. It has to be flushed every 24 hours. The doctor asked us not to travel on the first round of chemo (to make sure all goes well) ....so we're stuck out here just waiting.....
I want to thank everyone for the comments being posted on "Keeping up with Joe". Every time we see a new comment, it lifts and spirits and makes us feel loved........ and just a little bit closer ........to home.......
Keep us in your prayers.........and as Norah says.....We Love You So........MUCH !!!!!!

"But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint."
Isaiah 40:31
I was good friends with Joey when I lived in Alabama - you probably don't remember me but my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Whatever your cross,
Whatever your pain,
There will always be sunshine, after the rain....
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;
But God's always ready, to answer your call....
He knows every heartache, sees every tear,
A word from His lips, can calm every fear...
Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish, by dawn's early light...
The Savior is waiting, somewhere above,
To give you His grace, and send you His love.
May God fill your day with blessings!!
Hope that this poem will help you.
May God keep helping you.
Love, Sis. Florence McDonald

Brother Joe,
When the world says, "Give up," hope whispers, "Try it one more time. ~ I saw this quote at school Friday and I thought about you when you tried it one more time and God wonderfully filled you with the Holy Ghost. Praise the Lord!! Ain't God good to give us sooo many blessings. Hang in there Joe and remember God is right there with you. Hey Sandra, I have been thinking about you. You hang in there too.
