I got a phone call from Matt today to tell me thank you for the Tickle Me Elmo I sent him... He was laughing on the phone.... He said that he and his mom had a thousand laughs in the few days he had it and that he had taken it to church with him so that they could laugh too....

Humor is second to praying and eating to help with cancer treatments...of course the drugs are important too..........and God bless his care team....

Matt had his first treatment Thursday and he sounded a little tired as one would expect...

Please keep praying.........and then pray some more. God bless you all, John

"A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones." Proverbs 17:22

Birmingham News report: "at some point during laughter, your body issues a perscription from the pharmacy to the brain." The article states that scientists discovered that the emotion of humor triggers the release of certain hormones and endorphins that greatly improve our overall sense of well-being.

Good Medicine John! We will keep praying and you keep Matt laughing.
