Day 4

This afternoon Jimmy's great old friend, the legendary John McNeill from Thomson, was in Atlanta and came by for a visit, and we loved seeing him.

*******************************************************************************

Jimmy's numbers are dropping, but we still have a way to go before they bottom out. He still feels pretty good, and was saying today that in some ways it's harder, because last time he was too sick to be bored. He's still reading a lot, and doing some sudoku puzzles in an attempt to stave off the inevitable chemo brain.

He has to wear a mask outside our room, and everyone entering it wears one, except me, thank goodness. The nice weather we've had has permitted us to take walks outside, in addition to our laps around the 7E wing.

Jimmy and Ellen,
We have been out of touch lately and apologize for not sending you our love and prayers for this journey. It does sound better this time, but we know that all is not rosey and that only courage from a true warrior like Jimmy can get you through this. On one of the morning shows this morning a colleage of Ted Kennedy said,quote, "he would hate to be that cancer in Kennedy's brain, because he could fight harder than any cancer has ever fought". Or something to that effect. That says the same for the Jimmy Dewar we know. So hang in there and know we love you.
Geri and Wade
