Oh, Pat!

I will be praying for Dean, as well as you and your families.

I will also pray without ceasing on both counts for your dizziness. 
I'm sorry you have to wear that halter monitor! My best friend, Mari, 
had to wear one of those for her dizziness, too. They didn't find anything.


Merry Christmas to you and Vernon, and a Loving New Year,

Reeva Parry.


>Dear Rhonda and Everyone,

>Well, Vernon and I are doing good, Vernon's brother Dean, has very 
>agresive Pancreatic Cancer. He is in California receiving treatment, 
>and he is receiving Chemo once a week for three weeks, and then he 
>takes a break from Chemo. This will go on for about 9 weeks, and 
>then if the toomer shrinks enough, they might do surgery, we don't know.
>  His wife, Betty is with him, and they are staying at his oldest 
> daughter's house.
>His three daughters and his wife are all going to be with him for Christmas.
>
>Please keep Dean in your prayers, as well. This is hard on Vernon, 
>and myself, too. Last night I soaked my pillow.
>
>We talk to Dean about once a week, on the day after his Chemo treatment.
>
>Vernon is doing good, and he is as sweet as ever to me.

>I'm doing pretty good, but I'm dealing with dizziness, so I would 
>like prayers for that, please.

>We have changed doctors and he is going to do a bunch of tests to 
>find out what is going on. I'm wearing a Hulter Monitor for 48 
>hours, to see if it is something in my heart, where the heart 
>changes when I do some activities. I have to do this silly diary, so 
>I have to document all my physical activity, and all the dizziness, as well.
>
>Then, my Hemoglobin is too high, and they want to find out what is 
>going on, so I will be seeing a Hemotologist/Oncologist, to see if 
>there is any cancer cells or if there is a blood disorder. I'm 
>definitely not anneemic.
>
>Sorry for the miss-spelling.
>
>The sleep study is over with now, but I'm back on the Melatonin 
>again, and we'll see how that is going to go. I have to take a real 
>low amount of Melatonin, right now, 200 MCGS.
>
>I'm not sure how that is going to work out, but we'll see.
>
>Other than that, I'm doing pretty good, trying to stay positive.
>
>I'mpraying for all of ou.

>God Bless you all.
