1/4 the way done!!

Treatment #3 down with 9 more to go! This treatment made Joel his sickest so far and has really kept him in bed a lot. They gave him some anti-nausea medicine before and during his treatment which may have contributed to more nausea this time. When I read the side effects (once we were home)they were: nausea, vomiting, loopiness and exhaustion. REALLY, I thought......and this is supposed to help him. He is starting to feel better today and since it has finally stopped raining we are going to try and go for a walk later on. He's found that if he gets outside in the evenings he sleeps better and therefore has better days.

J.J. is 100% back to normal and doing great. We just started Jace in swimming lessons and J.J. asked why he couldn't go. Earlier in the year when I asked him he said he didn't want to swim anymore, so I just dropped it. Maybe in a couple of weeks when he has a little less "sensitivity" on his side we'll start him up again.

Jace is growing to be more and more like J.J. in every way possible. He is outgoing, loud, funny and never meets a stranger. He did awesome in his first swimming lesson and wasn't scared of anything. I think he'll be swimming on his own by the end of summer...:)


We continue to get support from all angles and couldn't be more appreciative. As hard and crazy as this all has been, it's been a huge relief to know the support behind us - God bless all of you!!
