OK, I have a couple minutes to myself so I thought I would write a quick update without someone interrupting me with whining or with “what are you doing Mom?” or “I want to read a book” or something like that.  I love my life 🙂  Anyway, Josiah had blood work done today and his counts are very low (as expected), but he is feeling pretty good with no fevers.  His only complaints are he gets pretty tired and he has a couple mouth sores.  So, they sent him home (PTL!) with some antibiotics and instructions not to do anything crazy.  That means no big social events or sky diving this weekend….drat, I guess we have to cancel our plans (ha).  We are very excited that we are home and will just spend a quiet weekend at home with healthy people.  Keep praying that he can remain healthy as he is not able to fight off ANYTHING right now.  The nurse said that if he had gone to just a family doctor with those kind of numbers they would would have called an ambulance.  But with the chemo this is what they want to happen and nobody (including us) gets too excited about it.  Cancer is such a weird world.

Have a super weekend!

Josiah did indeed come home yesterday afternoon!  He is doing pretty well, although he is very tired and his muscles are sore.  A new and rather interesting side affect he has experienced this time is a bad case of the hick-ups.  I’m not kidding.  As an example of how well he is doing, just a couple hours after he got home yesterday, Josiah went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of juice.  That may not sound like much but is a huge difference from previous chemo cycles where he wouldn’t be able to even think about getting something like that for himself.

The kids are loving being home and together (we split them up between our parents).  We are praying for an uneventful week that does not include another hospital stay!
