Day 20 - not one we want to remember.  He had a rough night last night and a rough day today.  We need to PRAY HARD that the radiation treatments will be his saving grace.  It seemed like the pain was intensified today more than normal. When the pain gets worse - they give him more pain meds......one of them makes him hallucinate...and makes him nauseous..one of them makes him sweat like crazy for about 20 minutes after administering......and one of them does nothing but make him sleepy when given in the higer dosage.  We talked tonight about the plan for what works for him with the ones we have tried.  Still trying to get the right combination and it's very frustrating for him and me.  So we have a plan for tonight and tomorrow.  I hope it works - it did last week so I hope like crazy it works again.

With the bad night and day he says he is not coming home tomorrow as we had orginally thought might happen.  I am asking each of you to pray like crazy for him to be relieved of some of the horrible pain that has returned once again.  None of us can truely know how bad it can be.  I see it in his eyes.  I hear it. And I can't do anything but be there for him and that hurts.  He has his last treatment tomorrow.  They give the treatments a week and then proceed to Plan B.

We ask for your prayers specifically for relief for the pain.  He can't come home until he's better.
