:: please pray for continued effectiveness of the meds that make the symptoms of the chemo more bearable.

:: thank God vincent seems to be a laid back baby. he is healthy, good at nursing and easily soothed.

:: pray for jess that she would have grace to mother all the kids through the transition from two kids to three. pray in particular that she would be gracious with herself during this difficult infant time where the most docile baby is still very demanding for time, sleep and energy.

:: please pray for joe's business. his business is going reasonably well. continue to pray that it would prove fruitful in a practical way but also help joe's morale as well.

please note that if you're interested in providing a meal for the aebis- jess posted some useful information about the dietary guidelines (these are also posted on the wall and discussion board):

Joe is on a diet which is meant to boost his Omega 3 fatty acids while reducing his Omega 6 fatty acid intake.

Food we are avoiding
-All vegetable/nut/seed oils (corn, canola, soybean, peanut, etc).
-Flax seed and flax seed oil
-Soy (soy lecithin is ok)
-Nuts and seeds
-Avocado
-Bananas
-Gluten (which means we are avoiding all wheat products)
-Farmed fish

Other than the above list of foods we are avoiding, everything is wide open. Recommended foods are fish (wild caught) and seafood, skinless chicken, beef, pork, and pasta (gluten free). Any legumes are great, too. Joe is also really trying to increase his vegetable intake.

]]>Great News and Prayer Requests for the Aebi Family!!http://www.centralvineyard.com/prayer-requests/2010/2/5/great-news-and-prayer-requests-for-the-aebi-family.htmlmeredithscherer2010-02-05T23:22:25ZFirst of all, a big praise report...and congratulations to the Aebi's!

Vincent Edward Aebi Born February 4, 2010 1:14pm 10lbs 3oz 20"

Mom and baby are doing well. Also, another huge victory

"An hour after my baby boy was born I got my CT results. More across the board shrinkage, the big tumor was down another 50%. Today was a good day and i praise God for that."

Join with us in thanking the Lord for this wonderful news. Here are some new prayer requests:

:: please pray that the CT results would open up new doors to experimental treatments.

:: pray for wisdom for joe and jess on how to discern sometimes confusing/ conflicting input from the oncology and the integrated disciplines of medicine. the input joe has gotten about nutrition has been helpful and joe has taken great comfort in dr. saab's approach and care as well.

:: pray for supernatural stamina for both jess and joe and for a olympic- like sleeper of a baby! pray for fun sweet times as a family of five!

there are still many opportunities to bring dinners to joe and jess and company. thanks for your prayers and love!

:: joe's fourth chemo treatment will be tomorrow (11.20.09). his brother jeff came into town tol be with joe for the treatment. please pray for effectiveness of the treatment and that joe and jeff would enjoy their time together.

:: pray God would heal joe completely- annihilating every growth and tumor in his body. pray he would grow old with his wife, give away his daughter at her wedding and watch his sons be fathers to their children.

:: joe's has a CT scan next friday 27 nov. this imaging will help determine how well the treatment is working. dr. saab has said a good result would be no tumor growth. so pray for that but ofcourse what we really want is for the tumor to shrink or be gone!

:: pray for a wonderful thanksgiving. full of gratitude, togetherness and love for the aebi/rader family.

:: thank God for the wonderful time @ north myrtle vacation. jess reports that it was a blast and also wonderful to be home as well.

:: thank God for the adjustment in joe's meds that helped with the rebound.

:: please continue to pray joe's red blood cells and resolve his hemoglobin counts (i don't know if this is the right medical terms). joe's hemoglobin needs to improve. pray joe would crave red meat and be able to tolerate it and that the stuff that's in red meat would work to reverse his hemoglobin in a super effective way! * joe's hemoglobin is important b/c it can disqualify people from futher chemo treatment if it isn't in the proper measure. *

:: pray for the physical health of gabe, evelyn and jess. pray their immune systems would be hyper effective to fight off infection. imagine the difficulty to explain to a sick kid why they can't snuggle with dad...

:: pray for gabe and evelyn- that they would be protected from fear and have an overwhelming sense that they are loved and secure in their family.

:: pray God would heal joe completely- annihilating every growth and tumor in his body. pray he would grow old with his wife, give away his daughter at her wedding and watch his sons be fathers to their children.

:: joe has now tasted the "severe fatigue" of chemo. please pray God's mercy would touch joe and be real to him. pray that the coming week he would be encouraged by renewed strength that grows in his physical body day to day.

:: pray for appetite to return to joe. the lack of appetite feeds the fatigue vicious cycle. so the chemo makes him tired, he looses his appetite and which makes regaining energy difficult w/ little food intake.

:: pray for the physical health of gabe, evelyn and jess. pray their immune systems would be hyper effective to fight off infection. joe's immune system is adversely effected by chemo and the last thing this family needs is a rough flu system.

:: pray for supernatural grace for jess as she walks with joe. pray for her emotional well being as she watches her love- joe have bad days that are difficult for him to get through and good days that make you forget the bad days but then when the bad days come again- it makes it even more difficult to watch... hope that makes sense.

:: pray for baby boy aebi that he would know the blessing of joy and hope his arrival will bring to his family. pray for health and protection over his life.

:: pray for gabe and evelyn- that they would be protected from fear and have an overwhelming sense that they are loved and secure in their family.

:: pray that God would add to joe and jess' faith for healing and wholeness through this journey.

joe's dietary restrictions and needs may flux from week to week the website will keep track of those changes.

update:

joe was encouraged by his initial meeting w/ dr saab @ the james. it was encouraging b/c his experience treating stage iv stomach cancer includes people who have gone into remission and beaten the poor prognosis that is typical for advanced cancers. while the prognosis has not changed- it is certainly a boost to the morale to hear stories where people DO beat the odds.
