Title goes here......

So in the hospital things were pretty normal as far as chemo goes. Jason started getting some sores in his mouth, they gave him medicine and that helped. He also started getting the required tiredness but thats par for the course. We finally made it home on Friday, they did send him home with an IV pump. Its actually pretty neat if fits into a backpack. I did disconnect him today because it was finished. I didnt see the point of keeping him attached to an empty bag for the rest of the weekend. We'll see if I get into any trouble tomorrow. He has a list of medicines as long as my arm that he has to take. I started giving him his Neupogen shots.(these help him to produce more stemcells for collection) However the crazy thing is the dosage they are giving him. The chemo that he had last year they gave him one injection a day for 5 days, this time he is getting 4 shots a day for 14 days. His poor bones are going to hurt so bad. I just keep reminding him that this will all be worth it when he is in remission next year. Besides being extremely tired he says he actually feeling okay. He has chemo funny tummy but nothing the nausea meds cant handle. His feet are so much less swollen and he is actually moving around pretty well. Alot better than he has in the past month or so. Jason's mom, my mom, and myself are trying to get the house in some order and starting on the cleaning. The house has to be immaculate when he comes home after his 21 day stay. Jason told me to write that he says thank you all for your support that it really means alot to him that there are so many people out there that care. That it really means so much to him and its keeping him going! Love to all you guys and keep sending those prayers up for us. Kimmy
