Dear Friends and Family,
Praise to the Lord, now and forever! Please pray for Matt as he will undergo his second chemotherapy session tomorrow afternoon here in DC. His side effects from the last treatment have mostly subsided. Occasionally he has a nose bleed, and has begun to lose some hair (so we shaved his head:)) but besides that he has regained his sense of taste, and kept a steady appetite. We have been able to keep up our normal routine, and about once a week Matt enjoys a pleasant skate back to the apartment from school (about 25 minutes), so needless to say he has more energy than some of us have without lung cancer:)
My mom has come to spend the weekend with us, so she will have the opportunity to join us in the treatment room as well as help out over the next few days. We have been blessed to have a steady supply of homemade ice cream from my old roommates to soothe Matt's throat and my tummy . And each day we are filled with gratitude for all of those who know us and are praying for us, as well as those who have never met us and are praying for us. Thank you. We will post, on the website, some post-chemo pictures of Matt and his new hairdo after the weekend is over:)
Thank you for all of your prayers, notes and thoughtful gestures.
May His peace be abundant,
Matt and Lucy
