i just received a note from Sharon's dear friend and she tells me that Brian is still receiving treatments and as soon as he is able he will be sent to a hospital in Jacksonville Fl which is closer to the apartment where he lives with his wife and baby.
Lois closed her note to me with this....
Hey there,
Hope this day has maybe been better than the last! I have been praying for you and your family and Brian. Soo sorry for what has happened to you both!! I would be happy to do what I can to help you. If you need me to drive to Atlanta on a sat or sun, or off day during the week I can do that !! It is not a bad drive. Tell him this just gives him more time to study for his E4 exam. No reason why he shouldn't pass now huh.Keep us posted and I have sent his name out to several people. Have you heard of Caring Bridge? You can do a journal there of his journey. A friend of mine that is still going to Emory did hers. Maybe I should get her email for you , she would be a big help with the drs at Emory and the procedures. Prayers to you my N4M friend!

Hi Sharon,
I am praying for all of your strength. Would you be agreeable to us NFM making a comfort quilt for Brian? Let me know and I will coordinate.
Well Wishes to your Family!
