Subject: No improvement yet

Wednesday, 3/18/98

Dear Friends and Family,

Another night of vomiting and little sleep for Sara and Brian.  He is now
complaining that his back hurts.  Sara sat him in a chair for a brief time
today and massaged his legs and feet.  She made him walk 4 steps to his bed.

The highlight of the day was the wonderful visit of Funnybones.  His magic did
calm Brian and make him forget his aches and pains.  He had a lot of fun.  

There is really no news.  His blood counts are still zero; his physical
condition has not improved; and he is still unable to sleep at night.

We rejoice in the knowledge that he will start feeling better soon.  We know
that he will eventually recover from the mucousitis and his little body will
no longer be in pain.  Pray that he feels good soon and is able to go home
before chemo starts again next week.

Love,
Susan
