APRIL 25

DAY 4
Gary is not feeling well today. It is starting to sound like a broken record, but that is the way it will be for the next several weeks. The nurse told me today that it will get worse before it gets better. They administered another 1000 ml of fluids this morning along with an IV anti-nausea medicine. Then they applied an anti-nausea patch behind his ear hoping that will help along with the two different drugs I am giving him at home.

Starting Day 4-7, he will lose his hair and develop sores in his mouth. Some get the sores all the way down their esophagus. That will make it even harder to eat. Gary has started a sore on his tongue and looks like one is starting on his upper lip.

When we started this, we thought "three weeks will go by fast!", but now realize that it is going to be a tough, long three weeks for him. Appreciate your prayers!

Thank you for praying for Gary's Dad. Although not completely well, he is out of the hospital and plans to preach this morning (Filipino time) for the churches anniversary service. *smile*
