Hi everyone. Since Thanksgiving we've had good days. Other than being a little weak, which is due mainly to the steroids, Dad is doing good. He went for chemo today, and it went fine. We met with the radiation oncologist today also for the last time. He felt there was no reason for Dad to continue under his care, so he'll only see his regular oncologist, Dr. Sanders, for his care now. Praise God!!
Let me tell you a little story about what happened last week. Ever since Dad had his radiation, his vision has been blurred. We knew that radiation could do that, so it didn't come as a surprise. Mom took Dad to the eye doctor to get some new glasses last week, and he went through all the tests, etc. that we all go through in an eye exam. When the exam was complete, the doctor told Dad that his vision had greatly IMPROVED, not worsened. That's why Dad couldn't see. His glasses were far too strong. How awesome is that???!!! He'll still need glasses, but they won't be near as strong as before.
The physical therapist continues to come a few times a week, and gives Dad a really good workout. We still have good days and some not so great days, but overall, Dad is doing really good.
As I've said before, we're so thankful and appreciative for all of the cards, calls, visits and PRAYERS. You all mean so much to our family. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends and family who continue remain faithful with their prayers and support. We couldn't go through this without you!

My very dear friends Sherrill, Peggy and family.
What a joy to read and celebrate what the Lord has been is doing in your behalf. I repeat Mary's words when she said: "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior". My family and I have been and will keep on praying and declaring over your life that you are a sign and a wonder to many people of what God is able to do in the life of them that dare to belive and trust in God and in His promises.
Keep on holding on to Him and believing "One Day at a Time".
In Christ's love:
Pastor Javier and family.
