Good morning dear ones,
Lisa here to catch you up on Mike.
We are on #6 and to the point where Dr. says we'll evaluate after each treatment to determine if Mike's body can handle one more. He is still handling it pretty well but the overall toll is beginning to show. Mike seems a little more worn out with each treatment but we are to the point of recognizing beginning of side effects that come with each new treatment and the nurses are super quick with just the right meds!
I am sometimes concerned about treatments in the middle of the night since I know our prayer warriors do have additional duties of jobs and families so some sleep is required. :) But last night's treatment at 1:30 am was the most uneventful so far. Mike slept thru the whole thing and had zero side effects! Thanks so much to you late nighters and to a God who does not sleep. How your prayers and encouragement have carried us! We are thankful.
Love to you all,
Lisa
He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber. Psalm 121:3
p.s. - thanks for all the encouraging e-mails.
This is an ongoing update on Mike Madaris' latest medical situation. Your prayers for us are most appreciated! (Mike's email address: mmadaris(at)comcast(dot)net)

A Most Relevant Passage to Ponder...
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair...So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that we are all thinking of you and we're so proud that you have another day "under your belt"...We pray that you continue to tolerate the treatments as well as possible so that you can get as many as your body needs. Sleep well and know that YOU ARE LOVED AT THE STRIDER HOUSE!!
Thought of you often today as I spent time with Stephanie at the hospital. I couldn't get to the computer and I needed a "Mike" fix. Thanks for texting me Lisa. We love you guys and are praying for the days to pass with minimal side effects & quickly!
