Hitting the Wall

Looks like Jon has finally hit the wall on this round of chemo. Everything went well on Tuesday, his red count is down a little but his white count was up (yes, he did it with the essential oils!). Unfortunately by Wednesday he was fairly tired and that has progressed for the last couple of days. The fatigue is a result of his lowered red counts. Today he and Kyle worked on one of his houses which mostly involved Kyle working and Jon sleeping in the truck.

Jon told me last week that he has felt great on the "cancer scale" all month and was ready to deal with any of the upcoming side effects because he had the opportunity to feel fairly normal and productive over the last month. I am grateful he has done so well and am preparing for the next 6 weeks as well. Everything should remain status quo until the PET scan the last week of June. I suggested he just take a 6 week nap and I'll wake him when its over :)

Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate all of your continued support.
