Jonathon asked me to make today's post. He's feeling kind of anxious in general today. There's nothing in particular that seems to be bothering him - just feeling pretty anxious.
This week will be another busy one - chemo on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Monday will be another all day kind of thing with chemo via IV in the morning, and a lumbar puncture with chemo in the afternoon. The rest of the week is just chemo via IV. What's really nice though is that there are NO trips to Chicago this week. That'll be much easier on all of us.
Yesterday, Jonathon spent the afternoon up and his mom's, and I had a nice quiet afternoon alone. He definitely needed the change in scenery, and I needed the time to reset. It's amazing how we all can handle this much. To think that this all just started 6 weeks ago...
For those that are interested, we are working with Angie Wotring to coordinate a bone marrow donor registration drive. Once we have all the details, we'll share them here.

Everyday is another day closer to you getting better! I am glad to hear that you went to your mom's and spent the afternoon. Just going somewhere different was a good idea. Katie, I am also glad to hear that you were able to enjoy an afternoon to yourself. Sometimes the caregiver forgets that they need to take care of themselves too! Hopefully only a couple of more weeks of this treatment and you will be ready for your transplant! I am always ready to help if you need it! Hang in there, your both doing great so far. We can all learn a lesson from both of you!!
