Finally, a new post

I must apologize for not having more posts for you all to read. Besides Austin's Birthday there hasn't been a whole lot to write about. It is neat to see him walking now.

I just had my last of three chemo treatments and will go for a CT scan of the chest and a MRI of the abdomen on April 16th. Then I have a Doctor's office visit on Friday the 20th to go over the results and see what will be next. If it is possible, I might be released back to work. This will depend on the chemo schedule as it continues to debilitate me for a couple of days afterwards. I am continuing to improve, but still have periods of pain, nausea and weakness that concern me that I would be very limited in what I could do. Currently, it takes me a couple of hours each morning to get up to speed. In the past, I prided myself that I could wake up at 5:30 in the morning and be at work at 6:30; fully awake and ready to go. I am sure that over time I will be able to improve my morning readiness, but even that has me worried now. I surely want and need my job. I feel I still have much to offer and miss everyone there at Palmetto Health Baptist. There is also a time constraint. HR has let me know that my six months expires on April 12th. This means that my job will no longer be guaranteed to me. I have been assured that there are no plans of filling my job, and have every trust that God will provide for me and my family, just as He has done since my conception and birth. I am not sure when I will be able to return but feel with certainty that I will.

Keep me in your prayers that I contiune to improve and that I am able to return to work soon.

Your brother in Christ,
Mack
