I am still in awe of how he handles “living” in the hospital for weeks at a time. He has never once thrown a fit about wanting to go home. He tells us all the things he misses from home but he knows he is sick, he knows he is getting better here. If you ask him he will tell you that his “Bones and Blood” are almost healthy again. He amazes me.
Today is day #10 we are 4 days out from Chemo and he is still doing okay. He had a rough night a couple nights ago when dad was with him. Vomitting and mild pain. But since we have been able to stay ahead of the nausea and the pain is at bay. He hasn’t spiked a fever yet. The doctors say it’s not “if” he spikes it will be “when” he spikes. Jacksons ANC was at 70 yesterday so he is almost to Zero and then we will wait for the climb back up! We are still praying each day is an easy day for him!
He is still eating like a Champ and weighed in at 49.9 pounds this week. When we brought Jackson in on March 29th he weighed 35 pounds. Seeing him eat and not throw up is a great feeling and I know that means he is feeling so much better than he has in years.
He hasn’t been up to much just hanging out in his room, sleeping, eating, watching videos, playing with legos, the residents came and hung out with him one day, and visiting with Ruby one of the pet therapy dogs. Jackson loved that Ruby could play dead, and give high fives.
The prayers are working and our little guy is powering through!
Much love 🧡
