Sunday Update

We had to skip Dose 12. The creatinine level was 5.4 and 5.0 is the no-go point. It's likely to go down though, and if so we'll resume with Dose 13 tonight. If we have to miss two doses we're done. This is very common, in fact its very rare to get all 14 doses. The staff here are all saying Bobby's doing very well. Dr Sosman also told us that there's not a direct correlation between number of doses and success of the treatment in reducing the tumor size. That's encouraging.

I've been praying that if Bobby needed a break from a dose, that he would be able to rest. I pray that for you, too.
Appreciate so much you keeping us posted. Many at Abiding Harvest are praying, too....

If all has gone well you should have completed the 10 pm dose. Sure hope you both are able to feel the prayers. We aren't stopping our petitions and praise.

Modern medicine is so strange sometimes. We are still praying for you both.

Bobby and Juli,

Garland and Kristi said to tell you hello. They were in town over the weekend for Susan's 50th b-day. I met their boys, Max and Brady. A fine family.

We continue to have you in our prayers. Hope to see you when you come to Mempho this week.

May God's love and mercy cover you completely in the days ahead.

Love you guys!

Frank
