Day 4

Deb called this morning before six and said that she had a bad night. She had her first "hospital fever" and was very uncomfortable. These fevers/infections are to be expected with the chemo, but that does not make them any easier to endure. Let's hope for a better night tonight --- come on gang, let's get some more of those prayers going!

Deb's appetite was a little better today -- as of the last check, at least. She had some breakfast and some of her lunch, which is way better than the first two days. With everything that is going on, she does not have much of an appetite.

We had three families visit today -- Marian came down, but crashed along the way. She is fine, but her car is not. Careful on the South Street exit -- it is always backed up for the right hand turn, ask Marian. Bob and Kim stopped by and Deb's friend Denise (Denny) stopped late in the afternoon. So long as she is able, I know Deb likes the company and appreciates the difficulties in getting to and from HUP.

I am planning to spend the day with Deb tomorrow and am looking forward to the snowy drive into town. Hopefully, the snow should keep 75% of the people off the road and the rest will take the train.

Thanks to everyone for the blogs and letters. Deb looks forward to them every day, weekends included, and sends her love to all.
