Day 0: Happy Birthday!

Well, J got the rest of his 37.5% of stem cells today... 3 bags vs. the 1 bag on Sat. He was drowsy from the pre-meds and wasn't feeling so great this morning. He has some really bad mouth sores and now is finding it hard to talk and swallow which means he'll be on IV nutrition soon. This happens to everyone. Its to be expected. He has requested a white board so he can comunicate with people and has now had to just text instead of talking on the phone. The Drs. have said this will be the worst week. But the good news is that he did well with his stem cell injections and that as fast as he has felt bad he will feel good just as fast. Thank you for all the prayers. Please bless J that his stem cells will continue to rapidly reproduce and that the mouth sores will subside. Its hard to believe that we are down to day 0 from now on they keep track of his days by adding a + to each day so tomorrow is day +1 and they go from there. Getting to the plus state means things will only get better. Also please say a special prayer for K and especially C who is having a hard time dealing with his dad being in the hospital. Needless to say he got in trouble at school for the first time today... Thank you for all the love, support and prayers! Keep them coming.
