Feb 3

It's Sat and the last day of my chemo. I have one bag dripping now and will get another one at 10pm tonight and then we just watch my counts go down and back up again. Tomorrow is the Super Bowl and Deb and I are going to watch it together. She is going to fix some snacks but we don't know what I can have yet, we have to wait for tomorrow's blood counts to see if I can have certain foods. I did fine with the bag of chemo this morning and feel good. It sounded like my doctor thought that I might get out a little sooner this time than last time (4 weeks). I sure hope so, "Ernies Angels" are planning on being part of the school chapel on Mar 2nd, so I'd really like to go see it and meet the kids. This whole experience has made me think about life, and the way I would have like to live it. I wish now that I would have made certain decisions much differently, but I guess that's just a part of who I am. Knowing that God has forgiven me for the things I've done wrong is so comforting I can't begin to describe it, it has brought a great peace to my life because God doesn't go back on His promises. If any of you out there would like to be forgiven, please go back to my journal on Jan 5th and read thru Jan 10th. No matter what you've done in your life, God will forgive you, and if you're one of those people who think they don't sin as much as most people so they think they'll get to heaven because of it because they're not that bad and have done good things in their life, it's even more important that you read Jan 5th thru Jan 10th!!! At about 8:30pm they came and said we are moving rooms to a private room in a few minutes. This is good for them because I have been in a room with two beds and now they can put two people in it. With my certain chemo I have had to be in reverse isolation so I couldn't be roomed with anyone else. It's not so good for us because Deb now has to sleep in the chair/bed again and not in a regular bed. Oh well, God is still taking good care of us! God bless you all!
IN HIS HANDS,
Ernie
