Interleukin 2 Update




Mary Beth called this morning to say that Bruce has had 6 out of 6 treatments, and it is going much more smoothly this time. One of the side effects of the treatment is low blood pressure. So, this is one thing to pray for. He is being monitoring carefully. They are able to deal more effectively with the side effects since they have been through this once before. So, Bruce slept all day yesterday! That is a great improvement over the last treatment.

Three couples from Bruce's college days have been surrounding them with love. So, the guys have been sitting with Bruce and the wives have made sure that Mary Beth has been taking care of herself through the whole process.

You prayers means so much to them. Hope this update helps as you intercede for them.

Lots of prayers continue to surround you both and your family. We pray that the Joy of Easter will bring New Beginnings!

Hey Bruce, I think I might finally be able to take you in a game of one-on-one. Well, as long as you're sleeping. And even then, the odds still aren't in my favor.

You're in my prayers daily. (Not to worry: God won't consider the source, so the prayers will still count.)
