Johnny will have chemo on Aug. 12. He has not been well with lower legs and feet swelling and headache and pains in shoulder/arm/chest/abdomen. He went to hospital and his morphine is now doubled.

However, the last two days have been better. He is doing art and still throwing away stuff and getting his house the way he wants it.

We will go there this coming Sunday and take him to Michael's Craft Store for more art supplies.

He is trying to keep living. Yesterday, he weighed 120.8 lbs.. He tries to eat as much as possible, keeping track of all the calories. He is able to cook his meals.

He sent me this email today:

“Some days you just have to stop and thank Jesus for how the day is going. Compared to last Tuesday, today is a wonderful thing. Sure, there is some pain, but nothing like what was going on. I'm not sure how to explain how grateful I am for how well today is going, compared to other days.”

Johnny needs prayers.

Marcella, thank you for sending the latest news about johnny. He’s still on our prayer list and know that he is a “fighter”. My heart breaks thinking he is uncomfortable in different areas of his being. It’s nice to know that he is doing art work, that keeps things in “place” as the drawing takes shape.
When you see him, plant a kiss on his cheek for me. I just wish we’d met in Ketchikan some years ago.

THANKS for the update and prayers continue every day for our brother Freeper. Glad to hear about his weight, it’s going up, and his new picture looks good, he has good color. I work to being a glass-half-full person and good to hear progress is being made.
