Susannah Zahn's condition continues to be serious. She is no longer on dialysis, but remains on the ventilator and is beginning to get bed sores. She might be weened off of the ventilator as soon as tomorrow, but then will need to treat the pneumonia that has developed in her right lung. I pray that God lifts up His mighty arm and heals her quickly. Amen.

Today I go in for another chemo treatment. I get next week off to recover; I really like those weeks off! The additional IV fluids taken at home continue to work well with me. I experience less pain and less constipation using them. I have had pain for the past three days and feel that they are related to the constipation. I will begin aggressive treatment of that condition; regularly taking a laxative with each meal.


I know that you continue to keep me in your prayers, but I have greater concern for Susannah Zahn's health than I do for my own. Please continue to keep her in your prayers and be sure to include her parents that they remain strong and able to face the days ahead with confidence that everything they face is for their own good. Romans 8:28 I too rely on that promise to face each day.

Your brother in Christ,
Mack
