There's no place like Home

I know because of your prayers and support, Jason has done so well.

We have been visiting Seattle Cancer Care Alliance everyday for blood drowns and clinic visits since he got out of the University of Washington Med. Center. Nurses and doctors treat him like a rock star because he has done extremely well with his progress. His blood levels are increasing daily.

As much as he always enjoyed eating, it has been challenging for him, and I have to be careful and creative. Certain foods does not taste good anymore, and he lost his appetite. He gives good effort to eat, but usually I have to tell him to eat (believe it or not!). He gets really tired if he does not eat good or does not get naps. He is still fragile even with his rock star progress.

He loves being home. Our younger boy is into Star Wars, and Jason watches the movies and plays lightsabers with him. It scares me to watch them play (Jason is sitting in a chair), because if he gets hit, it could turn into a bruise. With our older boy, he usually talks about school. My nurse skill has improved. I can do IV fluid for Jason without being nervous. I think Jason feels comfortable me doing it, too.

There's no place like Home. Jason must have done the magic red shoes trick at the hospital while he was trapped there. It worked.

I'll try to post some pictures soon.

Thanks for your supports.

Love,
Mayumi
