This is Betty again. Just in case any of you were checking back to see how Randel is doing I would like to ask all of you for some special prayers for his healing and return to health. It's been over three weeks of having a fever now. The first week it was low grade but for the next 10 days it was consistently around 102. The last 4 days he has had some relief from the fever in the morning but by mid afternoon it begins to return and sometimes climbs quite high (103.5). He has chills with it and has had no appetite so has lost weight and is very weak. The doctors now think that some of the tumors in his liver have outgrown their blood supply, have died, and are causing this fever as his body gets rid of the dead material. He's being a patient trooper as usual but we'd love to have this behind us! We are so thankful that he wasn't real sick while we were on our trip. Thank you to all who are praying for him and please continue. If you have a prayer chain or special prayer groups at your church would you consider adding his name to the prayer list? Our mighty God works mighty wonders and we know He answers prayers! We trust His plan in this. The rest of us are back at our jobs. Elise had students today for the first time and said many of her last year's students came by to say hi and ask about our trip. Brett has handled the first week of his new responsibilities well and is learning the ropes. I worked 3 and 1/2 days last week and this week am back full time. It's good to be back and I'm thankful for an understanding boss who allows me time to take Randel to the doctor, hospital, etc. We're all enjoying our memories, pictures, and videos!
Thanks so much,
Betty
