Just a quick update.
Nathan ended up going for Chemo on Tuesday. I told the doctor to give him every anti nausea medicine on the books and it helped. He didn't throw up as much this time.
He needed a blood transfusion on Wednesday but was able to go home Wednesday evening.
His floor had a huge Thanksgiving dinner for the patients and their families. It was really nice!!!
Nathan is recovering pretty good this time. He's been pretty tired but he's home and we're thankful for that!!!!!
One more hospital stay left!!!!! Next month will be it and then he'll get his last scans in January!!! I'm praying they come back clear! It's been a llllooooonnnnnngggggg year!!!!!!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at home. Sam and I put together a nice dinner, a lady from church contributed to it with the BEST macaroni and cheese you've ever eaten. LOL secretly when we found out she was gonna cook it for us we were pretty glad that no one else could come so we got it all to ourselves (greedy I know).
I'll update more later as I'm kind of in a rush. Keep a friend of mine in prayer. I met a new mother at the hospital last week who's 9 month old was just diagnosed with leukemia the week before.
My heart goes out to this husband and wife. I remember all too vividly the first time we heard Nathan had cancer. I talked to her for quite awhile. They have 4 children all together ages 5 and under. They're a WONDERFUL family. Please keep them in prayer because they have a long road ahead and they're just starting out.
Leukemia is different from Nathan's cancer, thankfully Nathan got to come home a lot but Leukemia patients sometimes stay months at a time and for this little guy and their family it's no different, but please pray because as soon as flu season hits the siblings won't be allowed at the hospital (This happened to us last year with Peyton). And it's really hard to be separated from your other children to take care of one, it puts such a strain on the family that most people just can't understand. Anyway, she's been heavy on my mind so I'm asking everyone to take a minute and pray for her.
