We reached day four and all is going well. Red counts holding at 11.0 for the last two days, plts only dropped to 30 from 45 but the whites are at 1. Of course no nepogen will be given as long as she is on chemo drug. Dr Morris stopped by a short time ago and was very optomistic with Nellie's condition. He did say she would be feeling worse the next few days.

Some new blisters in her mouth, some nausea and pain in the stomach. These symtems are being treated with other drugs. She sleeps fairly well considering the wake her so frequently for this or that. Hopefully we can get some food down to help limit the side effects. Hate to leave her side but I have some things at home to tend to. I may leave her for this afternoon and come back later today and spend the night.

Nellie loves her nursing staff and techs. The nurse today is Carolyn, and she says that when the nurses arrive for duty each shift they argue to get Nellie as a patient. What an array of personalities but all very attentive. We are lucky to have such a good group of professionals taking care of Nellie.

Well can't think of anything else today excerpt, keep on praying.
