Tomorrow is jasons last day of chemo but we celebrated today. I made cupcakes, brownies, bought ballons and made a poster. All the nurses and families signed it. He is doing so good. We are so lucky.
Shawn and i are going to Sedona this weekend to get away for a minute. I cant wait. We need the break.
Austin will be staying with uncle Scott horseback riding, shooting guns, riding 4 wheelers, doing stuff he should be doing. It will be a good distraction for him

Doing great. Today starts the last 48hrs of chemo and then Jason is done. He has done so well. I am the luckiest mom out there to have the kids i do. Austin is being so great through all of this. I get to go home tonight and spend time with him while Shawn picks up his shift. Wednesdays are the new nights for him and Jason. The playroom gave us a Wii so he is playing that. It looks like alot of fun.

On not such a good note there have been 5 new AML kids diagnosed in the past 5 weeks. That is totally crazy. The poor kids around here are going through so much.
Hospice came and took another teenage boy home yesterday. They were never able to diagnose the type of cancer he had but he has been in such pain since he came this summer. I hope he goes peacefully.

I will keep everyone updated!

Jason is doing great. Thursday and Friday he was sick throwing up and high fevers. But he bounced back. He is eating good again and we are back to doing lots of homework. He got all A's and 1 B this semester. The only reason he got a B was because they dont do much writing so she didnt feel like she could give him an A in that class. Pretty dang good with a kid that has cancer. He is so awesome.

Well the last few days have been crazy. Jason and I went to the store the other day for milk and got more than we bargined for. He had a seizure in the check out lane. We took an ambulance to PCH and have been here since still trying to figure out what went wrong. We were supposed to come back anyway the next day to start chemo so that wasnt so bad. But they wont start chemo without knowing what caused it along with the high fevers and vomitting he has been going through. He is good today and doing homework. We go down for more scans. We have already had a CT Scan of the head, an MRI, and another spinal tap. Good news is he is still cancer free. We really want to start this last round of chemo and hope to be home before x-mas. Everyone keep praying for us.

We have been home since Thursday and it has been nice. Friday Jason was able to pass out candy and play with his friends. It was nice seeing him being a kid again. Saturday we all layed around and watched movies. Then Sunday my family was here. I can tell he gets tired easy but he is staying strong. At 11pm i have to tell him to go to bed. Needless to say it is 11:20 am and he is still sleeping. I am so proud of him. He is so wonderful.
We go back to clinic on Friday and have labs drawn. If his counts arent at 750 or higher then he cant check back in for round 5. I want them high so we can start round 5 and be home or x-mas but then again i love it when he is home. I miss my family being all together.
