Hi Everyone!
I got back home on Saturday from the hospital! Yeeeaaahhhh! This time I actually wanted to go into the hospital because I was feeling so poorly. That pneumonia really made me feel bad. It really feels good to get home again, and eating that good ole' home cooking is the best!!! I've been in the hospital (before the Leukemia) for a few days at a time and never complained about the hospital food, but when you're in a long time it really gets to you. It's not so bad, its just that everything starts to taste the same, all bad!!! I think they really do a good job of preparing the food for so many at a time, my tastes just got tired of it. Harrison, you know what I mean, right? Harrison has had 3 sessions of chemo already and is going back in for a bone marrow transplant soon. We have been posting comments on each other's blog, he has leukemia too, so please pray for him as well. I feel so much better than last week when I went in, but I still have some symtoms of the pneumonia so I have to be careful. If I see any of you I probably will not hug you or shake hands at least thru the cold and flu season, but its good to see you (when you're not sick! LOL!). This whole experience has helped me to appreciate the little things in life that I used to take for granted, like waking up in your own bed, sitting on your own couch and just sitting and watching people go by on the street where I live. Deb has been great, I really mean great!!! She still has to do most of the work around here because I'm still weak (I wonder how long I can use that excuse? LOL!!!) I honestly try to do things but have to sit down and rest often, so not much is accomplished and I really feel guilty about it. Deb says not to worry cause when I get my strength back, I can do everything for a year!!! LOL! She's such a sweetheart!!! Thank you all sooooooo much for the thoughts and especially the prayers! God bless you all.
IN HIS HANDS,
Ernie

Hi Ernie,
Just a note to say Hi and that I have some good pictures to give you from the Relay. Yes it is an emotional 24 hours, but one I must be a part of forever.
I am glad that you are at home. I hope your Christmas was awesome. I know from the perspective of a mom of a cancer patient that it is one day at time. Even now with Elisha. When it is time for her 6 month MRI and check up, I panic. She is now pregnant, so I will panic more. She is just about to her 4 years since her first surgery and the doctors told me that for her kind of cancer remission comes at 5 years after your last MRI after your radiation therapy which for Elisha is in June. So we have more than one year before she is considered to be in remission. It is funny how different cancers have different times to be considered in remission. I don't understand it, I just go by what the doctor says.
Anyway thanks for keeping up with your journal. Please say Hi to Debbie.
Lots of love and prayer,
Mary Bow
