Update

Rod was able to have chemo this week.  We are hoping for another 21 hospital free days until his next chemo treatment.  He has been on strong pain meds still so he is sleeping contiunously, but does still have his sense of humor.  Just when you think he is sleeping and not listening, he comments on your conversation.

He has been having physical therapist come to the house and help try and gain more strength and he has also been put on oxygen.   Continued prayers for strength and healing appreciated.

HOME!

Rod is HOME!  He is on very strong pain meds so he is sleeping pretty much all day.  He is able to get some rest because the pain meds are helping. 

Just wanted to write a quick note so everyone knew he was home.  Hopefully we will see you at the golf outing next Sunday!!! 

Love & prayers always appreciated!

Golf Outing 6/23

Hey all you golfers and lovers of Rod and Sue Pepper! The Woodland Township Fire Dept. is having a benefit golf outing at Centennial Acres, Sunday, June 23rd. Registration starts at 11. If you don't golf, come out to eat and just show your love and support for the Peppers. There are amazing prizes to be given away, such as a big screen T.V., a gas grill and tons more! Rod is fighting the fight of ...his life right now and needs all the prayers and support he can get...so, if you can't join us that day, we ask for your prayers. See any WTFD for a registration form or call Ben Stowell at (616)914-5242 or Chris Tobin at (616)292-3934. Thank you to everyone for loving the Peppers through this difficult time in their lives!

Well......

Rod came home Thursday June 6th after 8 days in the hospital.  He has finally been eating as his throat is healing.  He had a pretty good weekend at home and even ventured outside the house for about an hour.

He was admitted to the hospital again last night.  He has been fighting fevers on and off and the decided the best thing to do would be to admit him and give him IV anti-biotics.  He is still having severe back pain as well, so hopefully they are able to get that somewhat under control.

Please pray for some answers as to if there is an infection, pain relief for his back, and for Sue.  She is so strong for everyone.  They both are.  Both of them are always asking how everyone else is doing.  I love these 2 more than words can say and the best thing we can do for them is ask for your support and prayers.
