Thanks Suzzanne for your continued prayers. We pray for your mom and all those fighting this beast.

Nellie had a niece day Saturday and Sunday. She visited with many family and friends who came to the hospital to see her. Most of all she loved her grandchildren that were able to come. However all the visitors may have cost her. Sunday she developed soreness in her throat. Very painful. She needed latercaine syrup to pnumb it. Very difficult to swallow and talk. Monday was worse. She developed a fever of 103+. Fought most of the day to get it down. Finally got it back to normal. Cultures taken but results not back yet. She got Tylenol and antiboitics with morfine because the pain was too great.

She spent most of the day in a groggy state. Couldn't talk much, hard to understand what she said. Broke my heart to see her struggle. Suspect she may have developed the same mouth sores down her throat. But hopefully we will know soon.

Dr Morris proceeded with the chemo regimine at about 4PM. I am scared, but what else is ther to do?? We are damed if we do and, well you know the rest. When I left her last night she was comfortable, groggy, no fever, swelling improved and watching Dancing with the Stars. She loves that show.

Boy how I've taken Nellie for granted all these years. We've been together married for 45 years. She was 19 and so beautiful when we met. New I would marry her when I first saw her. Then proceeded to be an idiot for so long. But she stayed with me, not that I deserved her.

Well I will try to keep you informed over the next few days as best I can. Please don't stop your prayers. Pray specifically the the chemo effects don't kill her. Pray for strength and willingness on her part to continue to fight.

See ya,
Eli
