Treatments
Tom has a new job! Not really, I just keep telling him that this is his job for right now. It is going to Spectrum and having his radiation treatment . This has become about a two hour process. He is feeling down because the shots make him feel like he has the flu, minus the nausea (because of the prescription). He talked with Dr. Buth on Monday about his symptoms after the radiation and how in the evenings, everything seems to tighten up. These symptoms mostly likely will continue until the treatments are complete. I understand that by week three he may be on a liquid diet. He received a nutrien diet booklet from the Radiation Oncology dietitian and she will be talking with him about his condition every Thursday. I am glad that he has so many people monitoring him. Tom and I are so grateful that we have so many people supporting us. I don't know how we would be doing this without others lending a helping hand. Some days things just seem "tense" around the house and I'm sure the kids can feel it. Thank you all for your generous ways as they help us to focus on the necessary things. Please continue to pray for Tom's strength, health, and energy.

Tommy,
It's your bro. Thought I'd send you a "comment" vs calling you. Keep strong, keep eating, these treatments will soon pass, and GO BLUE! I may be in Ohio, and married to an OSU fan, and have 2 of 3 kids that are fans (you know, I'm starting to feel depressed writing about all of this Ohio crap), but I will always stay true to Michigan...true BLUE buddy. Go Michigan. I can't wait to knock off number one.
Take care bro!! Danny
PS...watching WMU vs CMU right now...go Broncos!
Tom, Val & Family-
We are so glad you created a blog so family and friends can read about Tom's progress and Dan has also kept us in the loop with updates. Speaking of Tom, Joe and I laughed the other day about Tom's "snazzy" Michigan pants he wears for football games...they really leave quite an impression! Can't miss those in a room and you know exactly what team he supports...no question!
Tom, you are in a tough football game right now and you and your team are taking hard hits...but, you are a strong, talented (yes, and handsome!) star quarterback! Keep playing the football game and know that with every play you make and every yard you cover a "team" of fans from all over are cheering you on to get that touchdown and win the game! Go Tom...Go Blue!
Joe, Buffy, Nathan & Aubrey Nespodzany

Thanks for the updates. God is working in your lives. It's hard to have to go through what you are but I'm sure that you are seeing God every step of the way and that is why he makes us go through hard things. You continue to be in our prayers. Scott and Angela Manifold
