Brody and Bill are sleeping soundly right now. I can't seem to fall asleep at all. Too much on my mind. It is a huge relief to see Brody sleeping and not in pain at the moment though. Brody had a pretty rough start to this week of chemo. The Ifofasamide and Etoposide are pretty HARSH. Lots of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (and loss if bowel control), and intense, incredibly horrendous, painful stomach cramping yesterday. Today, however, Brody is doing far better. He got the Ifosfamide and Etoposide again today but not doing too bad at all. He has even eaten today (cinnamon toest crunch cereal with milk, toast with butter, grapes, sun chips, grape juice and capri sun pouches). Brody gets 3 more days of the Ifosfamide and Etoposide and then another day of fluids. He will hopefully be going home on July 4th. Brody hasn't had much nausea at all today (meds controlling it very well). Still have the diarrhea and not much control of bowel function. Not fun but we're dealing with it. Brody also is acting a little strange and a little delerious with the meds too. Not really acting like himself. But nothing too crazy as far as delerium goes.
My Mom and Dad came up yesterday to see Brody and to help us out with watching Geordi and Jaden so Bill and I could both be at the hospital with Brody. They are watching Geordi and Jaden again tonight but they will have to head back home tomorrow. Not sure what we are gonna do for rest of the week yet. We'll figure it out though.
Anyhow, I am glad Brody is handling the chemo pretty well today and now let's just pray it's actually killing the cancer cells too.
