Hello,

I returned home from the hospital about an hour ago. Michele received the dose of methotrexate yesterday with no ill effects, with the exception of some fatigue. That is praise worthy! There was a 24 hour wait before introducing the "rescue drug" (Leukevorin?) She began receiving that introvenously at 3PM, and will receive 4 doses, spaced six hours apart, then they will change over to pill form.If all goes well, she should be able to return home on Sunday.

Up until this evening she has had no nausea, but she had to take meds for nausea this evening. When I left her the meds seemed to be doing their job and the nausea had subsided. There is a lot of hair on her pillow, so the hair loss phase seems to be coming on. It is expected, but still dreaded, because external evidence makes the whole thing more real.

As always, thank you for your continued prayers! We have much to be thankful for and look forward to witnessing how God will use all this for His Glory. It's great to be used by God in His service, whatever that call to service may be, it's a privilege to be included!

With Love and gratitude,

Tim and Michele
