God's Promise

     This was a rainbow High in the sky around the middle of July. As most of you know this is a sign from God that there will never be another flood. It is also a reminder to us that he loves us and wants us to continue looking skyward to him and remember the MANY promises he has given.
    
As I am typing this entry I am trying to remember the blurr of the last several months. As most of you are aware Dad's cancer is showing no mercy! We came home from OHSU and had a few weeks of slow but steady recovery from his surgery. Dad spent many days having his "private" nurses telling him what to do. We spent lots of time trying to get his calorie intake up so that we could get rid of that old feeding tube that we just got replaced...hahahahah. Having taken 6 cans nightly over about a 14hr time period for several weeks, Dad was able to get down to 4-5cans over 8hrs because he was doing so well with eating. He was able to take about 900-1400cal. independently. But he did have lots of help, both from family and medication to help control the uncontrollable nausea!!!! My dad is a lot like me....or me like him.....we upchuck with every muscle in our body, Exhausting. Good thing we had the feeding tube to use for medications because many taste and smells set off the nausea center. After many trials and tribulations Bonica and I have become experts at unplugging the darn thing.....it doesn't do well with things bigger then a 1/8th grain of salt..hehe. If any of you ever have this problem.....try carbonation or hot water with a little friction.
