Last Radiation Treatment
Joe took the last radiation treatment this morning!!!! Praise God, that's over. These last 7 weeks has really took a toll on our friend, he has lost 24 pounds because he has a very hard time (pain) swallowing his food and then part of the time he has not been able to keep his food (lots of vomiting). He has been and still is very sick, in fact he told the doctor tonight when asked how he felt, "I feel like a dead man walking". He has ran fever almost constantly for a while now and it spiked this evening to 102.7 and they went to the hospital as they were told. Joe has been admitted to the hospital tonight and is receiving fluids and meds intravenously. He is dehydrated and they say the fever is caused either by something called "tumor fever" or an infection somewhere. In my last conversation with Sandra, the temp had dropped considerably so that was good to hear. Please pray diligently for Joe and Sandra because they need God's continued help in a lot of different ways. They want to be at home soooooo bad but in my opinion Joe will have to get better before he can make it home. I visited them this past weekend and I can tell you Joe is terribly sick and Sandra is carrying a heavy load, but God is real to them and has blessed them tremendously! Love to you all from our friends, Joe & Sandra
