July 14, 2011

Tomorrow we go back to the hospital for round 3.  The time at home with Jackson has been priceless.  You don't realize how important the little things are like being at home in the evening with your family or putting your baby to bed in his own crib until you don't have that anymore.  We report to the hospital at 6:15 tomorrow morning.  They will take blood and check counts.  They are assuming his counts will be good.  Unfortunately his central line does not work at all anymore, so they are going to replace it tomorrow.  They will also do a spinal tap while he is asleep and give him the first dose of chemo in his spine.  If all goes well they will start the continuous chemo tomorrow afternoon.  It feels like it has been forever with Jackson in the hospital but I know that it could be worse.  We are trying our best to have a good attitude and make the best of all situations.  When my  mom was here last week, we spent some time singing around the piano and we found this song that really encouraged us:

I trust in God wherever I may be
Upon the land or on the rolling sea
For come what may from day to day
My Heavenly Father watches over me
I trust in God I know He cares for me
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea
Though billows roll
He keeps my soul
My Heavenly Father watches over me
He makes the rose an object of His care
He guides the eagle through the pathless air
And surely He remembers me
My Heavenly Father watches over me
I trust in God I know He cares for me
On mountain bleak or on the stormy sea
Though billows roll He keeps my soul
My Heavenly Father watches over me
