I want to again write on Rob's behalf so that all of you are aware of what is going on. I haven't heard from him since Friday and I feel like he is on the dark side of the moon! His sister has been writing on a blog she set up. This week end his mouth and throat was bad and he was on morphine. He just wanted to sleep. Monday night his temperature was 104. They were able to bring it down but he has a lot of mucus and cough. He is being tested for pneumonia. Please continue to remember him in your thoughts and prayers. His Spirit has become a real inspiration to me and he has helped me get past my fears which I face every day. I can't imagine how miserable he must be feeling. I was able to do all of my pre-tests yesterday and I started hopefully my last round of vidaza today. I finished my day yesterday with another BMB (I only screamed Twice which only 2 small bad words!!!:



)I am being admitted April 2nd, day-8. My SCT is still April 10 TH.I am on my own countdown! Get better rob!

You are young and strong!!!
