During this week-long stay in the hospital, Jim receives chemo every other day. The last time Jim was in the hospital, we found that the day he received the chemo wasn't too bad, but the next day was a tough day of enduring the side effects. Today was Jim's day off after receiving chemo yesterday, and we were pleasantly surprised at how well Jim felt. He was a little achy and asked for medication for nausea at times, but generally speaking had no pain and was able to received visitors.
We count this as answered prayer and thank you for interceding on our behalf. Please continue to pray for Jim this week that the chemotherapy would kill any leukemia cells that might be present but that the side effects would continue to be minimal. Pray specifically that his muscle achiness would subside and that the medication for nausea would continue to be effective. We are humbled again as we have been reminded of how many people are lifting us up before the Lord and grateful for the love and care from those around us.

Millers,
We pray for "Mr. Miller" ,as Karson calls him, at most every meal and bedtime. So glad to hear today was better than expected. We will continue to pray for Jim's complete healing and also for rest and peace for the entire family.

Hi Jim, Marilyn, & Boys,
Just thinking of all of you today. Hope the rash is getting better Jim and you are continuing to do well during the chemo.
"God whispers in our soul and speaks to our hearts." This phrase is from an internet story called the "Brick". I'll forward it on to you. Even in the middle of an illness He can speak to your heart and bring you great encouragement.
You're in our thoughts and remembrances each day.
