Hello to all

Thank you for keeping up with the blog. We do appreciate the thoughts and prayers that come Marc's way.

Marc is keeping very busy doing things around the house. I think he does too much and doesn't rest enough but he is not one to sit around and never has been. He is so tired and weak from the radiation that he has a lot of trouble doing the things he wants to. He is getting anxious to be finished with the radiation treatments at which time he will be weaned from steroids. I am not sure which he wants to finish the most but I know he hates the way the steroids make him feel. There is not much time left as he will have his last treatment on February 10th.

He still is having a significant amount of swelling in both feet. He can just get his sneakers on but has to pull the tongue up and loosen the laces as much as he can. It looks like his feet are going to pop. It has to be uncomfortable but he doesn't complain.

I am married to a remarkable man. He is a fighter and a doer. He gets frustrated but that is understandable. I know I wouldn't be as brave as he is.

I will post pictures next week when he finishes his treatment. They have a celebration after each person finishes their treatment, it is really remarkable to see all the people cheering on the one who finishes.

God Bless you all!
