Day -6

Thursday March 5, 2009

Thursday, the 3rd day. Were continuing the mission. There was once again Busulfan every 6 hours. He was a little peppier when I got here today. When my mom and I got here we joined his mom, sisters, and aunt. After he got another dose of his medicine, he was out. Today his Hemoglobin and Hematocrit were low by one. His chloride and glucose were high today. Also his calcium was low by only by .3. Other then that his counts are looking great. He is sleeping still. He had some lunch at about 2p.m. He was seen by his psychatrist again today, and I heard it went really well. Child life also came in and gave Jake a nice pillow and a note pad. He still can't remember anything that happened on Tuesday or Wednesday unless I mention something and then he will start to remember. I gave him a foot rub and rubed his back and he fell asleep. That made me feel better knowing I can do something to make him relax. I have to work tonight, but I know that his friend Max is going to be spending the night. His room was cleaned about 2p.m. and he was able to shower. I talked to him on the phone at night, and he had gotten sick. He still feels cruddy, but once again he's hanging in there.
