So I don't have much to say... Papa Vern is neither feeling good or horrible. He is working when he can and resting when he can't. Last week was rough and pretty scary. Papa Vern was sick, with massive migraines. The doctors had his brain scanned for possible tumors but nothing was found.
Our prayer right now is that he can just be comfortable. We know the next 2 months will be tough treatment wise, and certain side effects are inevitable, but our prayer is that he can just be comfortable.
I also want to recognize his Lowes family in all that they are doing to support Papa Vern. Not only is he allowed to work when he can and take off on a moments notice, but his co-workers have rallied and made the most wonderful cards, and sent the sweetest words of encouragement. They are also hosting a fundraising dinner in his honor to help Papa Vern financially through this tough time. In no way would Papa Vern have ever asked for any help, they are simply doing this because they care. I know I have said it once, but truly if you need some home improvement done, please shop at Lowes. Lowes truly cares about their employees and intern the employees truly care about each other, and their customers.
I truly feel that God's light is shinning through Papa Vern. He is continual inspiration to those who get the chance to be around him right now. He is diligent and faithful, God IS in control, and God IS good all the time.
Please continue to pray faithfully, many blessings and...
Much love,
Harley

Never know when you are going to need a great attorney!! Little did y'all know I had such a shark in my back pocket! I understand your worry about Papa Vern and want to apologize personally for not updating like I should.
First and foremost I want to THANK YOU for the prayers. Your faithfulness has already brought healing and comfort. I have to tell you at Papa Vern's first radiation treatment the fear and anxiety of the unknown began to settle in and brought a since of panic to Papa Vern. As he sat there hooked up to weird machines, breathing out of this new tube in his throat about to let the panic settle in... he thought of all of you praying for him and was instantly at peace. We know that God is in control with a purpose and a plan. He is fully driving us down this road even though our GPS has no clue where it is going... I am sure the final stop is in God's abundant grace and we are all going to get some yummy glory burgers (not diet dog food!) at the next gas station, but until than God said he's not pulling this car over until we get there!
Papa Vern received his results from the scan they run to check for cancer anywhere else in the body and the scan came back NEGATIVE! Hallelujah, Praise Jesus, AMEN!! We now now that we are fighting a central group of cells that has not spread to any other organ at this time. The triple treatment going right now consist of 2 types of chemo and daily radiation. The radiation and 1st type of chemo are attacking the centralized cancer. The 2nd type of cancer is killing all abnormal cells in the body in hopes of preventing any spreading.
Papa Vern is doing great right now! He is eating bland and soft foods, and resting when he needs to. We are very proud of all that he has accomplished and ask for your continued prayers in the next 8 weeks of treatment!
Much love,
Harley

Welcome HOME Papa Vern
GREAT GREAT NEWS!! Papa Vern came home today!! He didn't bring home non-diet dog food, but I can deal with that at this time... He did bring home a great smile and lots of energy. I think the hospital was making him go stir crazy!! We took a nap today and had some neighbors drop by! Feel free to come over, however I will be sniff testing everyone at the door! Should I not recognize you I will bark at you like crazy, and possibly show my teeth, don't think this 15 lbs can't do some damage! After all I am his official body gaurd/blogger!
Once you have been screened at the door, feel free to have a seat, some iced tea and chat! Papa Vern sounds great, and looks great too! He has lost a little weight, they must have fed him diet dog food in hospital... But other than that we are in great spirits!
While the next 8 weeks of chemo might be a long road, Papa Vern is ready to start the trip! We are ready to put all this behind us and move forward with our lives!
God has already answered so many of our prays. We continue to ask for his strength, healing and comfort, while we glorify him!
To God be the Glory, forever and ever, AMEN!
Much love,
Harley
