“There’s Giggling Across the Fruited Plain”

Saturday Update May 9th, 2015

From all across the nation, there comes a muffled noise.

Tis the giggling of my friends I can hear their joyful voice.

For old shaky fingers struck at the 2:30 appointed hour.

Just before he aimed the needle He sensed a special power.

‘Tis the army of the warriors who promised they would pray.

Karen wants to thank you, can’t you simply hear her say?

For at the ending of Michael’s needle it was my own living arm.

Michael didn’t hiccup, the shot was given I suffered no harm.

Yes with your help and prayers the shot has now been given.

Mike and Karen now can snuggle. What a great way to be livin’.

So we’ll close for now even though Michael’s updates often lingers.

He’s looking down and keyboarding with those same shaking fingers.

Love you folks. My fingers aren’t actually shaking, although I do think I have picked up a new nickname of Dr. Shaky Fingers. Please keep Karen in your prayers. If today is like the last two treatments, things will start going downhill from here out for the next week. We are grateful that the doctors have been able to use the maximum chemo-therapy. But it will be rough on her. I’ll update you tomorrow.
