Sorry it has taken so long to update this. Time is going by really fast. First of all thank you to everyone that has helped so far. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate it. Thank you to all of those who have offered to help as well. We have received so much love and support.
I just finished my second round of Chemo. It was worse than the first one, but it is another one down! I have figured out that it will affect me for about 5 days total. The first day is the day I receive treatment. This day I am mainly tired and nauseous. The second day is a bit better. I have a lot more energy. The third day hits the hardest with fatigue and nausea. The fourth day I am tired, but I feel a lot better, but my mouth begins to get sore. Day five is the worst of the mouth pain, which makes it hard to eat and drink, but it usually subsides a lot by the next day.
The doctor said that everything is going great. He said the tumor is probably about half the size it was! My hair is starting to thin out, A.J. is helping by pulling some out too. Everything else with the treatment is going well. Just 10 more to go! I am still able to continue in school, and it has been going well. All of my instructors are supportive.
JonAaron has been really busy with school. It has been midterms these past few weeks. He did get to go to San Francisco and meet with some great companies. He also got to meet Steve Young, which is pretty cool. Only about a month left until his semester ends. We will be looking more into where his internship will be this Summer! I am really excited for it, I think it will be a great experience and possibly lead to a great job.
A.J. is growing so fast! He had his 2 month doctor's visit last week and everything is going great. He was so brave with his shots, he only cried for a little bit. He is still not sleeping as much as I would like him too at night, but it is supposed to get better. This past Halloween he was the Utah Jazz bear. He can also smile and "talk" a little bit! We are really looking forward to our first Holiday season together.
Thank you again to everyone for helping out and for your love and support!
A.J. looks so cute in his Jazz bear costume! :) I am glad to hear the tumor is getting smaller! You are so brave to handle all of this and school. I am glad JonAaron is having some cool experiences with school too! I hope all continues to go well.
