MAY 16

It has been enjoyable to not have to go to the hospital every day. We are busy packing, getting ready to move back to Oklahoma on Friday. It will be good to be near family, but in some ways, I am nervous about leaving here. There is a security in living so close to the hospital and doctors.

Gary still battles the nausea from time to time. He has also battled an infection of sorts in his eyes off and on since doing the Gamma knife procedure. He has been on antibiotic drops for 5 days now and it has not gone away. It will take months for him to really start feeling better.

Something you can pray for at this time ... that we will find a good physical therapist near our place in Oklahoma, where Gary can start working on his left arm and hand. Those nerves have been so damaged from the Lymphoma, but we do know from past EMG tests, that they are still alive and there is hope they will heal. As long as his hand is unusable, he is still dependent on others to some extent. Try spreading peanut butter on bread with only one hand and you'll understand. *smile* Thank you for praying for Gary and for our family!
