April 26 Day 1

Hi All,
I'm very happy to report that Ernie had no reaction to the "shake and bake" meds he received last night. I hope it continues to be that way. He did eat some breakfast this morning, but he still has no appetite. I was relieved when the nurse told me they were going to give him nutrition in his IV tonight. For now it will just be at night, but if he doesn't get his appetite back soon they will give it to him continueously. Dana got here this morning, and Brian will be here Saturday. We are always happy whenever our kids come home and even though Ernie is pretty sick, it's no different this time. We treasure our time with our family, it's one of God's greatest gifts. City of Hope is having a 31 year reunion celebration for it's cancer survivors tomorrow. They say some transplant patients who received bone marrow or stem cells from an unrelated donor will meet them for the first time. It should be a pretty special day for all. Next year we will be able to attend. Thanks again for your prayers and may God bless you all.
Ernie and Debby
