Lowell has gone downhill a lot in the last month. He has lost a huge amount of weight, as he hasn’t been able to eat hardly at all. We found out is due to a partial blockage in his small intestine. They believe the blockage is due to the cancer tumors growing and pushing against his intestines, so they started Lowell on chemotherapy again today. The bad news is that the doctor isn’t sure Lowell is strong enough right now to withstand chemotherapy, but we have run out of options. Also, the chemotherapy will take a couple of weeks to start working, so Lowell will have to try and fight through this. He spent most of the last week in the hospital with IV fluids while they debated surgery, but since they believe it is cancer-related they won’t operate. We are hoping for the best. If you would like additional information our oldest daughter has been documenting a lot of this on her blog. Her blog is: annban10.blogspot.com
Thank you for your continued prayers and love.

Lowell and Elaine,
We love both of you so much and you are in our thoughts and prayers every day. Please remember that we would love to do anything we can to help you. Carl would be so happy to help get Lowell to the doctor or anywhere else he needs to go. You are both so special and we can't begin to tell you how much we admire and love you.
We know that our Heavenly Father is watching over you and your family during this trying time. He loves all of you far more than we can ever imagine and he will always be there for you.
What a blessing it is for you and your family to have the knowledge of the Atonement and to know that you will all be together throughout eternity no matter what happens in this life.
Love,
Carl and Helen
