Today at the Infusion Center

Today is the first infusion (medicine given by IV) for Jenny. The infusion center is kind of unbelievable (see picture below). The staff here have a real kindness and compassion about them, and every effort is made to make the treatments as comfortable as they can be. Because this is the first treatment, they have to give the medicine at a very slow rate to be able to determine if there are any reactions to any of the new stuff, so we will be here for about 4 hours today.

 God has been providing grace for each step along the way, please pray that the Chemo (CPT-11) and Avastin work the way that they should, with minimal side effects . We have Jenny's parents here, and my Dad has re-arranged his travel plans to be able to spend the night with us. So, this morning while we are at the infusion center, Joe (our 13 year old) and Jenny's mom are making a huge pot of spaghetti sauce and meatballs for a family dinner tonight - which might be better for the soul than anything that modern medicine has come up with....

    Yes, I agree, Ray. Pasta and sauce while dining together with people we love is the best medicine. Hope it is a time of great joy for all of you.

    Our ongoing prayers remain - complete and full recovery for Jenny; grace, strength, mercy and peace for all of the Mulligans. Only our loving Father is able to provide this and we completely trust him on your behalf.

    Sending much love and hugs to you, Jenny and the children today.
