| He's having an average weekend, the antibiotics he has to take every weekend are kind of making him nauseated. I'll ask his dr if there's an alternative he can try. Other than that he's pretty good considering. He was gifted a very nice .22 from some good friends of ours, he was pretty stoked on it and has shot it off our back porch a bunch! He looks so frail and pale but I know he will pick up once they start giving him something to stimulate his appetite. Right now it comes n goes. I, on the other hand am struggling for some reason the last few days. I've been so strong up until last night, I broke down after putting him to bed and he looked at me with tears in his eyes and asked mom, why is this happening to me? I was able to hold it together until I went outside his room and sat at the kitchen table... everything came at once and I think I had an honest to goodness old fashioned melt down.. my husband, mom, sister, my cousin, my youngest son and my daughter where all there with me and just let me, let it go. I can't believe how much I'd had been holding back. I'd like to say I felt better but I dont. We have the rest of the week to relax before we go back Friday for round 2 of treatment. Now that we kind of know what to expect at these appointments it should be less stressful. Thank you for the continued prayers we sure need them. |

Certainly do not be ashamed of letting it all out ..... it will be a hard road ahead but you are a very strong person (I know by your posts....LOL). It would be very unhealthy to hold it all in....please, find a place of solace and let your self "feel" every now and then.....and come back here to cry, yell, scream, stomp your feet or whatever and let us help you through! |

| Thank you very much. I just felt awful that my other 2 kids had to witness my weakness. More so, my youngest son, my daughter has seen me at my worst in the past and she's a little rock for me at times. My youngest came over to me and just wanted to sit in my lap. I think he was scared. |

No matter how strong you want to be YOU ARE A MOTHER.Your baby is sick with something NO ONE wants to hear or ever have to face.You can have all the breakdowns that happen,because breakdowns are normal in these long roads you are traveling.We may think we are hiding or protecting our children from knowing how scared we are,but in reality most of the time they know.Just let them know it's ok for them to be sad too.HOLD THEM,LOVE THEM PRAY WITH THEM.JUMP ,SCREAM CRY LAUGH ITS ALL NORMAL.YOU ARE FIGHTING A FIGHT NO ONE WANTS TO FIGHT.MAY GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY THROUGH THIS TIME.Always thinking of you. |

Location: Arkansas | God bless your heart. . . There are no words I can say to help because I have NO way to begin to imagine what you're going thru. I do truly believe that seeing you cry and let emotion out will let your other kids know that means it is ok to do that. And it will benefit them if they break down because they see how strong you are even tho you cried. Please know we are praying for all of you, and like NJJ said, you can come here for anything you need and we have your back. |

Location: Central Texas | I think of Jacob and you often. Please don't feel bad for being real and having a "melt down". The other kids need to know wthat being upset is ok. From your posts, you are not one to sit arround blubbering and stuck in the melt down. God bless and HUGS! |

| We had an awful night, but I really blame the antibiotics. He doesn't need to take them during the week only the weekends after treatment. He was vomiting all night long, it sucked because he actually ate really well.. he's so thin. He's doing a,little better today. He's gun shy now on food, can't blame him.. but he's eaten 2 Popsicles a little bit of mac n cheese and now 3 packages of teddy grahams. So far no more vomiting. I'm making homemade tortilla soup tonight so I'm hoping he will eat a little bit of that too. |
