Single Digits!!

 Y’all!!! We are in the single digits!!!! 

It’s been a couple of weeks since we have updated and it’s mainly because we have been on auto-pilot. Our girls were out of school for a week and we worked seven sixteen hour days with one day off. Along with Nick doing his treatments we are exhausted!!! When people ask how we are.. the only thing that I know to say is, “tired.” The absolute only way that we are getting through this is the Lord. He has been our strength, comfort and guide through it all. 

I had the opportunity to take Nick to a couple of radiation treatments and it’s so encouraging to hear how they talk about him. They love him! He has remained so positive during this time… he has even helped me push through some hard days… when I feel like I should be the one helping him push through. 

Nick’s fatigue is what he is fighting through on a daily basis…Sunday and Monday after chemo are his hardest days. I don’t know how he is still working, honestly. He is living off of chicken noodle soup and any soft foods he can tolerate. Nick’s neck under his chin is starting to bruise and his throat remains incredibly sore. He can’t taste anything and he is looking forward to the day where he can taste again.. he said pizza sounds so good! 

We are getting closer to being done! He has 8 more radiation treatments and 1 more chemo treatments! We can’t wait to ring that bell!!! 

We are so thankful for our army who is praying for us! Thank you to those of you who have sent money, gifts and helped with meals. We are so so thankful!! 

Below is the radiation machine! It’s incredible to me how this thing works! It’s also incredible how Nick can be strapped to this thing 5 days a week! He is a fighter!!
