Hey Everyone,

I wanted to give you an update since Joe's last chemo treatment on February 6th. He has not been feeling very well the last couple of days and went to bed tonight at 7:00pm. He was up at 3:00am this morning walking around and woke the kids up for school. I told the kids to go back to bed because it wasn't time to get up yet. His throat and chest hurt tonight along with a headache. He started vomiting today and has slept quite a bit. Since January 22nd his pain medicine has trippled in dosage and the anti nausea medicine was working.

We are entering another phase that we will have to work through and I know that we can do it! He is strong and they have not wiped the smile off his face yet. God is GOOD!

The event I told you about a couple of weeks ago has been finalized. I have not been able to attach a copy of the form to this blog but if you send an email to me at crystallent@peoplepc.com I will send you a registration form back. The forms are also located at Bob's Bikes, Trak Shak, Mountaintop Community Church, and Kids Closet.

The 5K/1mile fun Run/Walk will be on Sunday, March 9th at 2:00 @Veteran's Park (in front of Spain Park High School). The event is called "Passing on the Blessings" in honor of Joe. When I told Joe many years ago that time is something we can all give that does not cost us anything, he took it to heart. Joe has such a heart for helping others that you just can't wait to pass your blessing on to the next person. We hope to see you there!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

God Bless,
Crystal
