Day -3

Sunday March 8, 2009

Today was another day of an upset tummy. Jake was in pain all day from nausea and drowsiness. He had been puking all day. On a better note I was still here with him making sure he was safe and comfortable as best he could be. His mom joined late in the afternoon along with my parents shortly after. It was a yucky day all around, having to cut our stay shorter because of the weather. He was still seeing things which was another side affect from the drugs he is on. Today he had his first day of the new chemo. It is called cyclophosphamide. He will get that today and tomorrow once a day. It is spread only over one hour, but he is on mesna which is ran over 24 hours. That helps protect the lining in his bladder. Having so they make him urinate every 2 hours. Its a pain to him, but at least we know that his bladder and other body parts are still working well. All visitors must still fully gown and wear a mask, but its better for his sake. We hope your all doing well. It'll be back to old routine before we know it!
