Yesterday was a pretty non-eventful day. Jim got 8 more bags of stem cells. Now we are done with that part. He pretty much slept the day away.
This morning was a slow start. Not feeling so great today. Blood counts are definitely dropping. Energy and motivation are down the toilet now. So, now we just wait for the counts to drop to nothing, hope he doesn't have any complications and wait for the counts to come back up.
Jim still smells like tomatoes today. My brother was here last night and said that if we just had a hot plate in the corner with some tomato soup cooking on it, the smell wouldn't seem so strange. Nedra, Jim's sister couldn't smell it at all. That's because Jim is the youngest and he will always be the perfect little baby brother in the family. Can't even stink.
Kids are good. Spencer left on a young mens repelling camp out with our church. Funny thing. My mom in St. George got a text message from Spence saying "I'm leaving." She didn't know he was going to camp and just thought he was fed up with this whole situation and was leaving. She of course quickly called him and he put her mind at ease. So, I am glad he gets a break though.
Well, that is my exciting update. Thanks for tuning in.

ReplyDeleteJim,
ReplyDeleteNot a day goes by that we aren't all thinking about you. We have all commented on how much just the absence of one person from our JLTC-O family is so noticed. You are a key component to who we are and what we are. You are missed. You and your family can be assured that you have only to ask and "it" will get done, no matter what you need. See you soon. rlkarre
