Making it Day by Day

First off, I should apologize for not posting as often here as I should. It’s for good reason though. Shannon is doing a lot better now. He is able to do a little more than he could before without getting too tired. He is able to eat a little more as well but still not quite enough to stop needing the Boost drinks to supplement his diet. We both have realized now that it will be a while before he’s able to eat anything besides very soft foods but we are still hoping that some day he will be able to have a more normal diet. I think that will help his energy level too.

He has been so happy to be able to talk to some of his family and friends on the phone. It’s been so hard for him not to be able to do that since we are so far away from everyone. He has really missed talking to everyone. Now that his voice is better and he’s able do that it helps him feel much closer to the family.

We are both quietly waiting for next month when we will finally have the answers we need. We need everyone’s prayers that those results will be good. The main thing that we are both doing is taking things day by day the best we can. We’ve learned that is really the only way to handle something as huge and hard to deal with as cancer.

I will continue to post here to let all of you know how he is doing. Thank you all for your continued support. It means so much to both of us to know you are all there pulling for us.
