January 31, 2014

What a difference a drug can make on this process!  It appears that Kytril is the wonder anti-nausea medication that is keep him from bouts of vomiting during the IV drip of the red devil and white lightning.  Evan had a very peaceful night and was able to sleep except for waking to pee because of all the fluids they are giving him.  I will report back later on how well his day is progressing.


Saturday 2/1/14
The good news just keeps coming in.  The Doctor visited last night and just could not believe how well Evan was doing.  He was eating (not full meals but snacking on just about anything and everything) and most importantly keeping it down because of the Kytril, he was also not experiencing any diarrhea.  His urine output was also normal.  The Doctor felt that if this continued he could go home on Sunday instead of Monday or Tuesday.

I only have good pictures to show today and that is really not a bad thing!


Amy and Brad are special people!  Thank you both so much for the giraffe!  Evan will Cherish him for a long time to come!!

Update: Saturday 2/1/14; Whats Chemo with out a little vomiting? It would have been silly of us to think that this session would be puke free and we are correct.  He is having a few bouts right now but the way I look at it is he made it 42 hours before it happened.  Chemo is over at about 5:30 tonight.

You are all so awesome, sharing this process with us. It also allows us to see the awesomeness of your family. Positive attitude, supportive, humor, etc.

Happy to read that Evan's experience this time has been more positive than last round.

We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
