Sticking Yourself

Hey friends and family!!!!!

This is Aaron writing and have successfully returned from Southeast Asia, so I will be updating you all on how my father is doing for the time being.

Dad started his new treatment exactly one week ago and it is going fairly well.  The side effects have not been as bad as expected.  However, everyday he has been feeling a little worse.  He has to do a self injection once a week.  In addition he has to take two more medications with at least 20 grams of fat three times a day with a space of about 7-9 hours in between.  It's quite an interesting new process.  Trying to figure out all this new method left us in stitches late last Wednesday night.  Here are some photos below so you can join in the laughter:

As you can see, it was quite an endeavor for three half-brains to figure out to stick yourself.  He has had to go the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville for blood work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and this morning.  However, we did not realize that he was not supposed to take one of the medications before his appointments.  So they had to reschedule for this morning.  As I write this, they are currently in his first weeks appointment at Mayo Clinic.  We are praying for a good report and that the symptoms will get better than what they have been.  He has been sick for so long, yet we are rejoicing because things could be much, much worse.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support.  More updates to come very soon!
