Day -2

Monday March 9, 2009

A full smile was brought to me today by Jake. He was in a brighter mood this evening. Today was the last day of chemo. It was again cyclophosphamide. He was on more fluids to keep him peeing, but he was still getting dehydrated so they sped up the fluids. He was sick this morning when his mom and sister were here, but when I got here he ate pizza rolls that he was able to keep down. He also was able to keep down some cookies I went on a mission for him to eat. I always was sweet enough to go get Jake a game he had ordered off the phone at Best Buy. It is called Saints Row 2. Today he seemed in a much peppier mood which I was very happy to see. His dad, Jim and his wife, Julie flew in today and plan on coming here before the night is over. It seems to me he has been better today, healthy wise and mentally wise. Earlier today he had some hallucinations but that is to be said once again from the drugs. I want everyone to know how strong Jake is. Going through this has showed me so much, that he still has proven to me how strong he is, and how much more of his life he wants to live. He seems to have a great outlook on this process, and that's exactly what he needs. With the support of his family and friends he is hanging on tight. Keep being strong Jacob. We love you!
