May 4 Day 9

Hi everyone,
I'm happy to say that Ernie felt a little better today. His white cell count came up slightly, so hopefully this is the start of all his counts rising, which means Dan's cells are working. He did not get a fever today and due to the transfusion yesterday he had a little more strength. They will continue with the anti-biotics for a few days. He does feel like he has sores in his esophegus, which is normal, but it makes it hard to swallow. The doctor said today that so far it is a mild case. He has slept quite a bit the last couple of days, he is very weak and everything makes him tired. As soon as he's up to it he will take over the blog again, but for now you're stuck with me. He does truly appreciate all you thoughts and prayers. He tells me all the time that he feels all your prayers and how much it helps him. He says hello to Ernie's Angels, he hasn't forgotten you, he just doesn't feel good enough to get on the computer yet.
God bless,
Ernie and Debby
