Mile Marker #10

Hello Friends -

We wanted to get the word out that we have reached Mile Marker #10.  The scripture we have chosen for this marker is Matthew 11:28.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

On the evening of Friday, September 11th, John was discharged from The James Cancer Center and sent home.  While it was a very rough 1.5 hour ride back, battling pain and nausea the majority of the way, he made it back home safely.  Shortly after arrival home, the home health help arrived and administered his daily round of antibiotics.  They are focused on teaching Jill how to administer this antibiotic over the remaining 30 days via his port to ensure that whatever the infection is may be taken care of.

As of now, John still has rounds of both pain and nausea, however the frequency is decreasing.  He actually felt good enough to take a short walk on Saturday.  PRAISE JESUS for some relief!  However, he had another bad day on Sunday. 

Knowing the pain and nausea is still coming and going, we ask for understanding that if you would like to visit John, to reach out to Jill prior to via text preferably.  Jill also plans to post a sign up on the front door on the days that are tougher ones for John, where it would be too difficult to have visitors.  Please know it's nothing personal, just something they have learned that on the bad days, it's best to be in a quiet space alone.  We are so THANKFUL that he has some relief in order to rest in between the bad rounds.  

We certainly appreciate and have felt your prayers this past week!  THANK YOU!!!!

If you could please continue to pray for:
1. God to give the Dr.'s guidance on how to move forward
2. For relief from severe pain and nausea
3. For healing of John's body

With Much Love,

The Gooney Gurneys
