Angela has completed her first week of treatment. I am happy to report that she has ended her week on a positive note. She is becoming more comfortable with the radiation treatments or should I say, she is becoming more comfortable with the mask. The first day her treatment took a little over an hour and the second about 45 minutes. Today her treatment only took 25 minutes and she was very excited. She and I celebrated this accomplishment over the phone and you could hear the excitement in her voice!!!!! What a beautiful sound! She has also completed her first week of chemotherapy and so far so good. She was a little queasy this morning but she thinks it was from eating breakfast too early.
Physically she continues to get stronger. She is still showing signs of movement in the left foot and toes. Today she was able to do circular movement with her left shoulder. She was able to dry her hair and put on her shoes. Just to let you know this is a major improvement. When I stayed with her at the rehab hospital she could not do any of this. She is also walking better everyday. She is becoming stronger physically which in turn is making her stronger mentally.
David and Angela would like to again thank all of you for your prayers, words of encouragement, gifts, food and visits. They would like to send a special thank you to their Aunt Lucy Priddy. Lucy has been spending the nights with them and helping Angela tremendously. She is God sent and truly a blessing for the entire family.
Please continue to pray for Angela, David and the kids as it is evident everyday that our prayers are being answered.

Angela,
Nick & I were so thrilled to visit with you and David (as well as your beautiful children) yesterday. And even more thrilling was to see how fantastic you are doing! So many people have been asking us about you and it was really great being able to see firsthand just how incredibly strong you are. We know this is as a result of the power of prayer as well as your determination and will... not to mention the amazing support team you have with David, Theresa, Diane and more. Just please remember that although we are not near you physically, Nick and I are by your side in thought and prayer daily. Keep up the incredible work!
With all our love,
Dawn & Nick
