Home for three weeks
Oct 18, 2013 9:08pm

Good evening.

I am going to try and post a brief update via the caring bridge iPhone app.

Jim arrived home from the hospital very late last night. He was really happy 
to be back in his own bed. He has a plethora of medicines to take; which I 
have labeled in braille. I also made note cards with the instructions to 
help keep everything in order. Thank you Jennifer for emailing all the info 
to me prior to your dads arrival home. M

He's had bouts of nausea and since very early this morning. This is to be 
expected and I told him we will get through this. He has been sleeping 
throughout the day. He has little appetite but he is getting some food in 
his tummy; and, keeping it down. The antinausea meds are helping with this.

These next weeks at home will be filled with chemotherapy, injections and 
labs. Our family is not in the circus business; but, there is an awful lot 
of juggling of schedules that will be taking place.

Jim goes back to the hospital on November the 4th for cycle B. I told him 
that he is very brave and strong and I am so proud of him for getting this 
far.

As always, thank you to all of our friends for your thoughts and prayers. 
They are very much appreciated. A huge thanks to our family for being there, 
juggling your schedules around and the sacrifices that are and will be bing 
made further down the road as we get nearer to transplant. Jim and I love 
you very much. M

Going to try and post this now. Praying for success. Lol
