Homeward Bound

Jason is coming home Monday pending no fevers or infections. They unhooked him from BOB today. He only needs hooked up when he gets antibiotics. Which is only twice a day for a couple hours
He is so happy!!!
He wants fast food so bad but we have to pass on that. Daddy Shawn will have to make a burger taste like McDonalds

We might even be able to take him to the circius on Wed

He will be home Monday until Monday June 30th
Then they will do another bone marrow and see how much we got
Everyone pray your hearts out this week they come back good

Austin and his dad are leaving for Iowa on Tuesday for two weeks
So that will be a nice well deserved break for both of them

Keep everyone posted

Coming home

Well Jason is doing good says the big doc so hopefully he will be home by next weekend. I am sure he cant wait to sleep in his own bed and not have the cords attached to him. He named his machine "Bob" and that will be nice to be free of him as well.

Jason is getting sick of being in the hospital as he was asking his dad all sorts of questions last night. Like why is he there so long, why does he have to take so much medicine, what can happen to him. He is a smart kid and you have to be straight but it is hard having to worry about your child going through this and what can happen. He should be swimming in the backyard with his friends and running around playing football. But he is strong and will battle through this. We are all learning patience.

But it is hard looking at his room empty and not seeing him around the house
So i hope the count down is on for him to get home

Good moods

Nothing really to update except Jason is still happy as ever. He loves his soft new head. We shaved him on Sunday. And through out all the time he has been there he has gotten so much stuff i had to take 2 trips to the car to bring stuff home and he still has alot there.

Thanks everyone for everything

Happy 9th Birthday!!

Happy 9th Birthday Jason!

Jason had a great turnout for his 9th birthday on Saturday. That tiny little room was crammed with friends and family. Jason made out on gifts and has plenty to keep him occupied. Now we just need a big suitcase to haul it all in from room to room as they continue to transfer him around the hospital. We love you Jason and hope you got everything you wanted! :)

Moved again

Well Jason has a cough now so he got moved to a private room just in case he is coming down with something. Cant have him getting his roommate sick. Tomorrow is his birthday so i hope he isnt ill. He still looks good though.
He has moved about 5 times so far. So i need to start taking some stuff home so there isnt so much to move each time.

I joined a group called Hope Kids that offers alot of things for familys like ours. We are going to take Austin to the circus in the next couple of weeks. And they have tickets to Firebird for some drag races along with pit passes. Jason wont be well enough to attend but it will keep Austin happy.

Right on track

Talked to the head doctor today and Jason is right on track
He is doing good and they havent seen any leukemia cells for 2 days.
Also got the results back from Austin's blood work. He is NOT a match for bone marrow. So they will test Brian and I. But still hoping dont need to go that way. But wont know for sure for a while.

Will keep everyone updated

To Jason. From Shadow

Hey Buddy!

Here are some pictures of me. I thought the first picture was a particularly handsome shot of me. I like this little dog bed. The big human thinks it’s for toys but Katie and I just take them all out and then I can relax in it! The third shot is Katie and I taking our afternoon nap. This couch is soooooo comfortable. I hope you have a dog gone great day!

Love you more than al the bones in the world
