After spending three nights in the original wing of hospital where Art had roommates that would have the TV blaring all day and all night, he was moved to the oncology floor. It’s in one of the new towers, top floor. So now he’s in a private, spacious end room in the penthouse! 😆
Chemo began the evening of the 23rd. It all takes place in the room…4 hrs of the initial chemo followed by 48 hrs of a slow drip. I spent the night. Not too long into the treatment, Art began experiencing some nausea, muscle twitching at the eyes, tightness in his abdomen and sweatiness. Already I’m thinking, “this is just the start of treatment. Will he survive going through this?” No one wants to see their loved ones suffering.
From this room, there’s a view of the sunrise. As I watched the sunrise, I think God was telling me that just as His Son rose from the grave, we too will rise from this grave situation.
”The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning.” -Lamentations 3:22-23
Today’s update: Art is extremely tired. It’s hard to see him like this. But we hold onto the hope of Jesus.
Our family upholds you, Art & Pam in our prayers. We want to let you both know that we care very deeply about your well-being. and have been praying ever since. we found out from our ChunKa Paula & Jame’s.
We’ve also heard about your dad jokes Art. So you ever need a laugh we got a collection of terrible jokes ready for you, too. You don’t have to go through any of this alone. You have a community of friends and family. Who cares very much and praying for your successful chemo treatment. Much love and heartfelt prayers! – Pat & Harry

I am inspired by this verse sent by Art’s family member and their beautiful faith in this grave situation. The Lord will be with all of you all the way!
God is with you all, having walked this journey before, we know! Hold on to the Lord! He will be faithful to bring you through! Sending our love and prayers for total and complete healing! ❤️🙏🏼
I am praying for both of you Pam. I can’t imagine how hard this is on you watching Art go thru this. Beautiful sunrise and beautiful sentiments. But I am sure it is still hard. Praying you feel so much love from friends and family! Love, Patty
Sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers to the Fong family! Thank you for the updates.
I will continue to pray for strength and healing while Art battles through his treatment, and for the side effects to calm down in time for him. I will also continue to pray for you, and the girls. Please take care of yourselves too, to keep your strength up.
If anything I can do to help, I’m only a few arrangements and a plane ride away.
