I haven't blogged since the end of the Jimmy's last treatment...life has been controlled chaos the past couple of weeks. Here's a synopsis:
When Jimmy got home, he was exhausted and slept almost all of the first few days. He had hallucinations and bad dreams for the first couple of days as well. He was nauseous but thankfully, never threw up. He continued to be tired and lethargic and finally started getting up and around by the end of the week. His doctor visit on March 14 showed his white blood cell count even more depleted than the last time. He has to be so careful to stay away from people who are sick or have just recently been sick. We are very happy that the pain is next to nothing compared to what it was a month ago.
Logan had a very rough two weeks too. He needed to take a break from every day life so he spent more time with just Jimmy and I to begin to feel more comfortable with our "new" temporary normal. He is definitely in a better place now but I hope he will continue to understand that Daddy will get well and that the chemo is what is making him so sick right now. He says he understands but he is still just a little boy. I know I have said this before but if I could shield him from all of this, I would. He should not have to see his Dad get so sick.
Here we go again...round 3 of the chemo shuffle...
