Jon was able to go the scout meeting and actually was able to join his buddy's at James Island County Park during their campout. He had to stay in a camper but he was able to spend some time on Saturday and Sunday with the troop. He really enjoyed that, just being able to get away from home and the hospital was such a treat in itself!!!
We started back on the daily chemo and it has taken a toll this time on him. He has been pretty sick and not able to keep anything down so has lost quite a bit of weight.
Because of that we are back in the hospital as of Monday, 11-2-09, as they had to put a feeding tube in him and are loading him up with the calories and protein and other stuff his body needs. He has put on several pounds since Monday and we anticipate being able to go home tomorrow. He will have to keep the feeding tube in over the weekend and when we return to the clinic on Monday, if all is okay and he is eating and drinking again, they will take it out during his procedure.
He is not a happy camper with the tube but understands it is necessary at this time to help him be able to handle the chemo.
He is doing pretty well with his schoolwork and is really enjoying the online medical course he is taking.
Please keep him in your prayers to give him strength as he is pretty beaten down by this complication. Thank you.
