Monday April 23

Hi everyone!!
The internet is working in my room as of today, but I'm not feeling very well so Debby will be writing for me until I feel up to it. I got my last dose of chemo Saturday night and unfortunately ever since then I have been nausious. Today I can't seem to keep anything down. My doctor said this particular medication is pretty harsh and getting sick from it was to be expected. They gave me anti-nausia medication, but that makes me drowsy and I don't like that either, but I guess that's better than being sick to my stomach. The nurse told me if I continue to get sick ,rather than throw it up, don't eat and let them give me nourishment through my IV. If I don't feel better soon I will let them to that. The dietition came by to talk to us about the low bacteria diet I'm on and I had to ask them to step into the hall to talk. Just hearing about food bothers me. Tomorrow my brother Dan gets here at 7 a.m. to start the stem cell collection process and Wednesday they will give them to me. THANK YOU DAN!! He had to give himself two shots a day for the 4 days prior to his procedure and he says he doesn't feel great but it's manageable and it got him a couple of day off work. Debby's sister Sue is here for a few days and on Thursday Dana gets here. Please pray for Dan tomorrow and that my body accepts his cells.
God Bless you All
Ernie (Debby)

Hi Mr. Brady,
You probably remember me from Dana and Dave's wedding. I'm Dave's older and very good looking sister, Barbi. OK maybe just older! Ha! I just wanted to write you and your terrific wife and tell you that I have thought of you both often over the years. You have been wonderful to my brother and I absolutely adore my sister in law! She has kept me posted on your progress and I wanted you to know you are in my prayers. I know we all need all the help we can get but sometimes some of us need it more than others. This is your time and you have alot of us doing overtime in the prayer department. I know this can't be easy but at least you have an incredibly strong family to support you. If you don't mind, I'll stop back by and say HI. God Bless~ Barbi
