Well it's New Year's Eve and I can't think of anyplace I'd rather be. (LOL) Dana was here bright and early this morning, it's always nice to spend time with her. We don't see our kids nearly often enough and miss them like crazy when we're apart. Dr. Lee was here again today, my white count continues to drop as expected and I'm now being treated for a yeast infection in my mouth. That means another pill each day and two "swish & spits". You swish a liquid around in your mouth for about one minute, then spit it out. It heals and numbs. I woke up early and started watching a cooking show all about oatmeal. Did you know this is National Oatmeal Month? Well anyway, this show made me think about how good it would be to have oatmeal cookies, sooo I called my honey and she made me homemade oatmeal cookies before she came down today. It's late afternoon and right on cue I'm starting to get a fever, but other than that I really do feel pretty good today. I got to take a shower again, boy does that feel nice. My granddaughter Hailey woke up last night with croup, so Dana and Debby both had to wear masks, but at least they were still able to come. My sisters Mary and Carol were both here and they too were donning masks due to colds in their households. Tis the season. I got to see Hailey and Aiden on the web cam again today. Hailey and Nana made sugar cookies and Hailey decorated them and sent a special one just for me. I couldn't eat it cause Deb said it had extra ingrediants on it from Hailey's hands!!! LOL! They decided to give me platelets because my level was on the lowest parameter of what's good and what's not. They just hang another bag on Baxter and let it drip in. Oh yeah, Baxter! Do you remember the movie, "Castaway" where Tom Hanks found a Wilson ball on that island? Well, the name on my machine that meters out the medicine that drips into me is Baxter, and I named it so. Baxter sings to me every once in a while by beeping, which is alright during the day but annoying at night. So long for now!
IN HIS HANDS,

Good morning and Happy New Year!
Aiden and I are just hanging out watching the Penn/Tenn game. Hailey is sound asleep recovering from a long night of partying. We were having so much fun we didn't go to bed until 4am! I think her croup is getting much better after her Mommy ran to the store for here some better medicine.
Hailey asked me out of the blue yesterday, "Why is Papa sick?". Well I didn't really have an answer for her. (Who does!?) But we told her that Papa can feel our love for him even when he's in the hospital and that thinking happy, loving, thoughts will help Papa get better.
I enjoyed my ride on your motorcycle the other day. I didn't want to go but your bike begged me to take her out! You know how she is when she flashes that big crome eye of hers at you. She can't wait to have you back in the saddle though! Thank you as always for sharing such a cool bike.
Well we're always thinking good thoughts of you and missing you.
Lots of love!
Aiden, Hailey, and Dave.
Ernesto, Deb and Gang,

Just in case you were worried about it you should be safe from coyotes. When I put Hailey to bed tonight we were saying a prayer for you to get better and Hailey added to keep you safe from coyotes. Not sure where she got that from. Hope you have a good night. I love you and see you tomorrow.
Brother Ernie
A Happy and Blessed New Year to you!
I can not imagine what you are going through there. I was complaing about having a zit under my nose at age 53!
Seriously brother, I can't tell you what a blessing it is to read these words from you. Your unflagging faith in God is a powerful witness.
Your brother in Christ
