10PM Are we caught in a time warp, mired in a day that goes on and on and on forever? Most days float by, not unpleasantly, in that strange hospital-time sort of way, but this one has been interminable. Jimmy has felt awful: completely wiped out, with intermittent bouts of nausea, and his Kepivance rash is itchy, and his fever has returned, although not as high as it was last week. It's most likely coming from having no white blood cells, rather than infection.
"What day is it?" Jimmy has asked, more than once, waking from a nap.
"It's Wednesday."
"STILL?" It's been Wednesday for days!"
We haven't walked our mile today, although we did about eight laps, and in his condition, that took a Herculean effort. But SLOW...you don't know slow. He could hardly get one foot in front of the other, and I was having to step-step-shuffle-ball-chain the whole way, in an attempt to slow down my pace.

I will be praying for both of you that God will intervene!!! Just keep trusting him
Hang in there you two. You have come this far and I know you can whip this thing. You both are in our prayers and thoughts each day. Your strength has been remarkable, but then we all knew you could do it.
Thanks Ellen for keeping us posted. I know you are probably tired also, but we never hear how you are doing. Jimmy is so blessed to have you.
Take care and keep up the good work (both of you)
