radiation update

i have undergone 14 of 28 initial radiation treatments, and have developed a radiation burn that is significant enough to temporarily delay further treatments. i have what could roughly be compared to a 2nd degree sunburn on my right shoulder, chest, back and armpit. i am also told that in order to get back on track with the treatments i need to rest and stay cool and dry. As you may imagine i would prefer a 3rd degree burn and be active rather than figure out how to rest every day. Sounds like perhaps i am still not quite humbled enough!

thanks again to every one who is blessing us with their prayers and donations. i am still working on developing a gauge of what has been received and what our total financial need will likely amount to, some of the delay is due to the uncertainty of treatment costs, and some is still my hesitancy to make what feels like an outrageous request. i hope that doesn't mean more humbling is in order.

til next time
