Thanks!

improvements

I forgot to mention something exciting in the last post! Joe's been improving physically, and he's made so much progress that he's been able to lose the eye patch and go back to binocular vision! YAY! It seems the chemo might not being killing his hair follicles anymore, cause he's covered with fuzz on top and he's getting quite a beard. The nursing staff has taken to calling him Grizzly Adams.

He's complained of being very lonely in the day, so if you're available during the day please try to drop by. Also, don't forget to place your Pampered Chef order soon! You only have about a week left!

keep on keeping on

Joe's doing pretty well, all things considered. He's been running a slight fever, but his counts haven't really dropped at all since his last round. The doctor found out a new way to do the chemo that's extremely effective on resistant cancers, so Joe's starting that this week. We all feel really hopeful that this is the key! The tumor on his chest is big and yucky looking. Get him to flash you if you want. You might want to take some mardi gras beads as incentive!

Don't forget to order some Pampered Chef! Scroll down to the next entry for details. :)

Happy monthaversary!

Tomorrow will mark 7 months in the hospital for our beloved Joe-dawg. So in celebration, I'm announcing-*too doo doooooo* ANOTHER FUNDRAISER!! YAY!!!! Due to popular demand, we're having Pampered Chef part duex. A lot of people have been asking if they can order more stuff, so here is the answer: YES! Order lots! Order often! Tell all your family and friends to order! Tell that guuy you know who always grilling in his garage! Tell your aunt that buys lots of cooking stuff but never cooks! Tell that person you know who always buys all their Christmas presents 6 months early! Tell everyone! Run don't walk! :)

chemo ends, again

Well, the guns are loaded and the real battle begins. Joe is finishing his chemo today and now we will wait, again. He says that he is really lonely. I have not been able to spend whole days with him and he misses the companionship. Joe is a very social guy. So, if you can come to see him, that would be great. The days are long and usually the loneliest. He is growing hair now on his face and head, so he looks different. It seems that his beard is dark and his hair is blonde. His diet is not restricted any more so treats are okay. Not too much sugar or chocolate but he looks other stuff. Maybe a call to see what he is interested in at that time. Keep up the good work, guys, Joe needs your prayers and calls as much or more than ever. He gets depressed when he is alone a lot. See you there! Joe's mom

Battle Three Begins

The war is not over and we began Battle Three yesterday. They started chemo and will continue with four different ones for four days. He has had three of them before but one a VP-16 is new. One will run for 24 hours and the others are 2 hours over four days. He is feeling a little more allert today since they cut back on his pain meds yesterday. He really enjoyed the visits. We are taking the blog comments to him today. Even though he has internet now, it won't let him see the comments due to the hospital firewall. I don't know if he can email or not. So if you want to come before he hits the lows, now is a good time. He is more awake and feels pretty good. Next week on or about Tuesday he may start going down but we will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the prayers and comments. from Joe's mom

more of the same

Joe is feeling about the same today. Yesterday was particularly hard. Pixel died and we had to let Joe know. He seemed to take it pretty well since he had known that she was ill and not doing well. There is really not much to say. Please post your comments to Joe so he will know that you are out there. Thanks, his mom.
