0 baby

We got the results back from Jason's bone barrow and we are at 0% for Leukemia.
All this hard work and time has paid off.
We are so happy. Still not through the woods though. We started round 4 of chemo yesterday
The actual treatment is for 6 days but they say we will be here at least 50 days.
Keep the prayers up!

All is well

Jason is doing great. We have been enjoying our time at home. Went and saw Austins game Saturday night and that was fun. It was nice to see all of Jasons friends come up and say hi and for him to see his brother play. He probably wont make any other games since these last few rounds last a long time.

Last night the local fire department came over and visited with the boys and gave them some stuff and they went around the block in the truck. He loved it.
They are also going to the fundraiser in Oct so that is really special.

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Back to ourselves

Jason made it through the rough night.
I was worried but he is a tough guy and is good to go.
We did x-rays and he was such a trooper as he was sitting in the wheelchair waiting his turn and throwing up, and also throwing up while standing getting his x-rays
Luckly nothing showed up and we didnt need to do cat scans either.

He has been good ever since.

I was able to go to Austins football game thanks to Grandma Grace for watching Jason. I love football season. We are waiting for Jason to get out so he can go to a game.

Tomorrow Shawn and I are going to spend a day with Austin. I cant wait. I miss him so much.

Long Night

Jason got Platelets last night around 10pm and had a BAD reaction
103.8 fever, his whole body was shaking and his teeth chattering
he was cold but burning up
eyes and body all red

throwing up
had to give him oxygen

He is resting now and they are going to try and give him platelets again in about 20 min.

They are also going to schedule x-rays and cat scans to make sure everything is ok
his butt hurts really bad and he was sitting on a donut all day yesterday and crying in pain today when he went to the bathroom. he might be getting sores inside his rearend from the lining being thinned out from chemo

we are really tired and trying to rest

Many updates

I didnt get a chance to update anyone about what happened last week when he had the storms.
There was a really bad storm here in Phx Thursday night and our room started leaking again. Our roommate had to move out cause water was dripping on their bed.
The PICU flooded and their were frogs hopping around. We lost power about 5 times. Quite the night.

So updates since the nose bleed.
Jason had to have a blood transfusion, and platelets.
They had to pack his nose and the stuff slowing dissolves. Maybe he will learn to keep his fingers away from his nose. Now he snores while sleeping.....

Today he is not feeling good and they have antibiotics ready incase he spikes a fever. His body aches and his butt hurts. Dont know why but he is getting morphine and another platelet transfusion to stay on top of things.

Austin has his first football game Saturday. I cant wait to see him. Shawn and Erin are going to California so he wont be able to make it. But we will all be rooting for him.

Thanks to my family for stepping up and giving me a break a few nights a week. It is nice to see Austin and Shawn. Although the house is a mess cause we are remodeling since the breakin.
