DAY 26 - 012107
Robbi's Update:
Intense weekend of staring at David. Like waiting for water to boil. He’s heading back down from the chemo from last week. This is expected and necessary. This is what we learned NADIR was. He will hit his lowest point as he did 3 weeks ago and Wednesday or Thursday he will begin coming back up. This means that the chemo is continuing to kill off his immune system and his new stem cells will slowly begin to build a new one. Tonight I’ve noticed him slowing down and becoming a little cranky. Cranky, can you imagine! Geez!
{Editor's Note - HEY, SHE SAID SHE WOULDN'T DO SOMETHING FOR ME WHEN I ASKED REALLY NICE.}
Emily had an interesting 3 days up here with us. She realized ME is not a place she’ll be considering moving to too soon. Way too woodsy and way too cold for her liking. We had some “girls time” while going back and forth to the hospital. We went to see "Dream Girls" yesterday. It was nice to get lost in a movie for a couple of hours together. Then when we got back to the hotel and rented "The Devil Wears Pravda". Last night at Applebee’s which was packed, Em overheard someone saying, “I figured it was too cold for anyone to go out tonight”. This person’s friend replied, “People are like moose, they just keep moving in the cold”.
You know you’re not in Westborough when you hear a reference to moose.
I left David yelling at the TV and waiting patiently for the Pats game. He and Jay will be on the phone together watching the game and they’ll yell at the TV together. They can hardly wait.
FYI, some of you may not be aware that David has a blog. Please feel free to log on to - http://desktopdavid.blogspot.com/. David gets much more detailed than I do about the procedure but some of you might find it interesting. If nothing else you may find it entertaining. He has about 100+ people tuning in everyday to see what’s going on.
All the nurses click on each day and get a kick out of what David writes. They’ve shared with us that it’s so cool to understand the patients side of the story. It’s also nice because his blog is starting to help people out there who are considering doing this. If his writings help someone in any way then he’ll feel like he’s made a difference.
Signing off with a cheer for the PATS!

Hi David - Hi Robbi!
Just thought I'd say hello and let you know our thoughts are with you both! Robbi---I painted the house, like we spoke...glad I listened to you!

Hello again. Sorry to hear about your fever. I hope that soon passes and you are able to get your energy back.
I guess you managed to watch the game...sorry the Patriots lost. I was and have followed Chicago since I was a kid when Ditka coached. I don't know why I always liked them. I guess we will not be seing you in the super bowl.
Keep your head up and stay positive. This will soon be over and you will be up in no time. Talk to you soon!!!
Your friend always,
Devona
