Therapy 1 - Hawaiian Style
Okay, the chemo seems to be working and we are all praising the Lord. Unfortunately, even when pancreatic cancer responds to chemo, it eventually becomes resistant to the treatment and stops working. Then the cancer begins to advance again. So while we wait for the genomic treatments, we are attempting some "alternative" therapies. Dad is drinking "Reliv" shakes (Dad's niece Denise and her husband sent), which are helping his energy immensely. He just started taking something Jeff and Leah Cox sent that has all kinds of good stuff and seems to be helping his stomach. The juicing has been rough going because we didn't know what we were doing, but Leah gave us some helpful hints and we will persevere. Kristin and Bo have called for Wednesdays to be a day of fasting and prayer for anyone who would like to partner with us in that. Some are fasting food and various other things. God has me fasting my computer since I seem to be addicted to that. If I pray as much time as I spend on my computer, I'll become like Sandy Ginn, Suzanne and Gram (a high calling indeed). We are also using some more "creative" approaches developed on purpose or by default by various family members. I will be reviewing these in the next couple of posts. The first treatment began long before we knew there was cancer, but proved very therapeutic nonetheless. We call it a "Maui state of mind".

Hey can i have some maui therapy too?? K here's the scripture for the day that i came across. "Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return to Jerusalem, singing songs of everlasting joy. Sorrow and mourning will disappear, and they will be over come with joy and gladness!" (Isaiah 35:10) I am claiming these words and praying them over you grandpa! I want to sing songs of joy in Jerusalem next year!
That's it. Everybody get on a plane. We're going to Maui.
Next year in Jerusalem!.
Count me in for the next MAUI THERAPY(SMILE). Tom it was so nice to see you and Bo this past weekend Thanks to both of you for stopping by just to say hello, it means a lot to me when you and your family take time to stop by and say hi or to just keep me updated on your health.
Please count me in for Wednesday I will give up my "DR.PEPPERS" all day, I will also give up food until 1 pm. But I will be praying for healing and comfort for you Tom. Please tell your wife hello and tell her I am praying for her, I thank God for her and her strength and poisitive attitude during this time of family crisis, She still have that big bright contagious smile. Much Love Gail
