"Tomorrow is just a normal day!"
We wanted to give you all a brief update before Marc starts his treatment tomorrow. This last week he has been resting and recovering. He was visited by lots and lots of family and friends and has been fed EXTREMELY well!! We had to stop him from mowing his lawn, saying this is his chance to get out of doing yard work. Jaden (his oldest grandson) enjoyed getting to use the leaf blower and Bradli (his only granddaughter) enjoyed helping gather acorns, while Hudson enjoyed feeding Marc chocolate chip cookies. Marc got his staples removed on Thursday. When he was in the hospital we counted 35 staples, needless to say, he is sleeping much better now. We did find out that it is stage 4 Glioma. He will undergo radiation 5 days a week for 7 weeks at 10 in the morning. The procedure is rather quick. He should be in and out in about 15 minutes. On Wednesdays he will go in at 2pm followed by a massage. We all think he deserves that for sure!! At night he will take his chemo medicine which is in a pill form. He is remaining as positive as ever and told us, "Tomorrow is just a normal day." He continues to amaze each one of us with his calm and positive attitude. Karen continues to be by his side through all of this. She is truly an angel for Marc during this time. We love you all and appreciate your thoughtful acts of service, kind words, cards, texts, and prayers.
