Hello to all,
Sherrie is pretty out of it today. They have her on a morphine pump for the pain & needless to say she is extremely tired.
Last night they gave her oxygen & also a platlet transfusion. As I am writing you today they are giving her 2 pints of blood. Her counts are still very low & should start climbing tomorrow (day +8). Everything she is going thru is very typical of her condition & the doctors were expecting all the symptoms. Her mucosis started earlier than most people as she was given a larger does of BEAM. They gave her the European protocol as they want to wack this disease and say being young she can handle it.
For now....
This blog site is intended to give friends and family updates on the Hodgkin's Disease status of Sherrie Teuber. Hopefully, it will also serve as a site to help educate others on this horrific disease. Thank you for your love and support! 
About Me

Hi Sherrie, Gloria & Gary,
I'm sorry to hear that Sherrie is having such a time. I understand that all of the side effects go with the treatment, but it still seems like such a lot for her to have to deal with. However, I have been following her journey for a number of months now and it is apparent that she is a tough little lady!
Just remember that all of you are in our prayers. I am reminded that God does not give us more than we can handle. I am also reminded that there have been times when I was pretty sure that God was a bit too optimistic about my capabilities. Wherever you are on the journey, you can be assured that God is walking with you. Sherrie is not only precious to you, she is precious to Him also and he will give her care.
You have been an inspiration as a family. We will continue to lift all of you in prayer and pray for that count to start coming up so that Sherrie can start making plans to go home. Everything is easier to deal with when you are in familiar, secure surroundings. I still am predicting banana splits and champagne cocktails for her in the near future:)
Blessings for all of you,
Erin Witherspoon
Hi Sherrie, Gary, and Gloria! You must all feel like you are climbing a mountain. Remember that you have many people thinking of you and praying for you....imagine us joining hands and trying to hold you all up....or maybe huge group hug! Hang in there everyone! When you reach the top of that mountain, there is going to be one heck of a beautiful sunrise!
Lots of love,
Jill Sandberg
Hi Sherrie,
You are doing great! I am so proud of you. I know it's very difficult for you right now, but you're doing it. Your strength and tenacity has been unwavering since the beginning. I have never known a stronger person. I can hear it in your voice. Although I know it's difficult for you to talk at this time, I enjoy every moment that we are able. I can't wait to see you this weekend. I love you!

Sherrie,
Your positive spirit is coming through your mother's (?) voice on the posting. Know that I pray continually for you throughout the day as you pop into my mind. My prayers for day 8 is a dramatic turn around in your side effects and that your pain would subside and you smile return.
Sherrie,
Let the drugs work. Take the rest, as it must be needed. God is caring for you too. You are so blessed to have so many on this journey with you. We continue to pray for you and your family. Keep the faith. Stay strong.
Peace to you,
Nancy
I found this computer game that is based around killing cancer cells and it made me smile. http://www.re-mission.net/site/game/
we teachers always enjoy when technology is used to provide young people an appealing way to learn. I haven't spent much time looking at it, but the site seemed promising. Perhaps something to look at as soon as those counts get up there. I know you can do this Sherrie, soon enough you'll be home with Barney.
I love you kiddo, Barrett
