This second
round of chemotherapy is difficult for David in his weakened state. The three
days of daunorubicin are past, but he still is receiving cytarabine continuously until April 23rd.
A few days
ago the doctors discovered the cause of his diminished visual acuity: David has
retinal bleeding in both eyes. This can be caused by leukemia. He is unable to
read email and has little energy for activities.

Thank you for the updates, especially because they give me something specific to prayer about. I think specific prayers are more meaningful all around.
ReplyDeleteMy heart remains with you.

Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThis is David & Marilyn DeBry
ReplyDeleteWe thank you for the updates and pray for David in our family and personal prayers.
Love,
DeBry's
We also continue to pray for him. Do you think if the next time I am in Maryland [May] some of the very rich home made broth [I can bring it on the train in frozen blocks or prepare it at my brother's in Germantown] would be useful? All the building blocks of cells in solution and easy to digest.
