Noah is finished with round 4, technically, but he will feel the effects of it for a few weeks to come. He is sicker this time. The Zofran hasn't worked as well as it usually does, and he has thrown up several times today. He did not eat or drink anything until dinner, when he ate a few bites of turkey and some m&m's (hey, whatever he will eat these days) and is still keeping them down. He's had a few sips of water tonight, and a small amount of Sprite. He will ask for milk but is unable to stomach it. His energy level isn't the norm...he's been sitting/relaxing with me and John a lot, which is pretty much unheard of. This season is going to get worse before it gets better, I'm afraid. Good news - we leave in the morning. We will begin his "white cell booster" shot tomorrow night, and begin the countdown 'til we come back to Birmingham. I'm praying for his nausea to subside and appetite to return soon.
I saw a post on another cancer patient's blog, wanted to share: WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO Cancer is so limited It cannot cripple love It cannot shatter hope It cannot corrode faith It cannot destroy peace It cannot kill friendship It cannot suppress memories It cannot silence courage It cannot invade the soul It cannot steal eternal life It cannot conquer the spirit.
