Something else to pray about

I have appreciated your prayers and know that they are effective, but I have something new I want you to consider and add to you list.
Susannah Zahn, the daughter of Pastor Jason Zahn of Hope Lutheran Church, is suffering from complications from a bout with rotovirus and dehydration. She has undergone dialysis and her kidneys now appear to be responding. She is heavily sedated and is on a ventilator. Her doctors are now trying to balance the fluids in her tissues with those in her bloodstream. I know that you will keep her in your prayers and I will keep you all updated as news of her condition comes to me.
As for me, I underwent another chemo visit after meeting with Dr. McElveen yesterday. I have one more treatment scheduled next week and then wil take a week off. Then we take three more treatments. On my off week I go in for office visits and we will do another scan
in April unless I have another spell of great pain. I lost 5 pounds last week and find my appetite fluctuating. Hopefully I will gain those 5 pounds and a few more in the coming weeks.

Your brother in Christ,
Mack

Mack-a-doodle: I never mind adding another person to my prayer list! I hope things begin to look up for Susannah as well. I pray you continue to have more and more days without pain. I look forward to seeing you next visit around here. Take care, God bless. Sharon H
