Wednesday, March 11;

A very tough day at the Cameron household. Larry is still experiencing allot of pain. Certainly the majority of it is from his fractured rib and we have to remember as well that he is very sick with cancer. He could hardly eat anything today...or let's just say he attempted to eat, but became very sick several times and "lost" anything he had eaten, including medication. He is remaining on oxygen all day long. Larry has an appointment Thursday afternoon. At this appointment they will try to see what additional medication he can have for the severe pain. He has another appointment sometime next week with the urologist to check the infection that landed him in the hospital in the first place. Next Tuesday doctors hope that Larry will be stable enough to begin chemo treatment again. He will have treatment Tuesday thru Thursday. So, it is still a rough time for Larry. We are praying that his health will stabalize so that he can get back to as normal an existence as possible, whtever that looks like.

Larry's son, Greg, and his family will be arriving next Tuesday from Tennessee for a week. Larry is very excited about this visit and is grateful for those who have made it possible. Larry has not seen Greg for many years. There couldn't be a better time for the two of them to meet again. We plan on having some good quality family time with Larry next week with Greg and his family, and Melody, Larry's daughter, and her family. It is uncertain how many such opportunities we will have in the future.

Nathan Rotzien, Larry's nephew, will be taking over Cameron Plumbing for the time being. Nathan is himself a skilled plumber with his own business, and is eager to help out his uncle in this way.

Please continue to pray for Sherry. She, along with Larry, is having a very hard time getting needed rest.

We appreciate all of you who are taking the time to keep up with Larry's health crisis. We can't wait until we have more good news to share - whatever that may be. For now we will continue to share the realities of the situation, even if it is difficult to do.

Peace...
