Jamey went to the hospital yesterady for his methotrexate. This is really hard on his body. It's a 24 hour drip, which started at noon. By 5:00 he was wiped and feeling awful. Since then he's been dizzy and nauseous, feeling just horrible the entire time. He did feel better, though, while his friend Nathan visited him. His friends' visits really help him cope with everything. My mom stayed with him all day, with my step-father, while David and I went to soccer games (both Noah and Coby's teams won - yeah!! The boys played GREAT). As difficult as it is to be away from the hospital, it is very important to the other two that we continue to support them and be with them - and keep their lives as normal as possible. We are very conscious that Jamey's illness has an affect on the boys also, and we want to make sure that they don't feel forgotten. This can be really difficult sometimes, but we've been managing okay.
It's terrible to see your child going through something like this. You feel so helpless, wishing you could do something. It's very depressing. I know he's going to get better, but the road there is really hard. I hope he feels better tomorrow.
I'm exhausted now - going to bed soon. I slept in the hospital yesterday, David is sleeping there tonight, then I am back there tomorrow.
Take care.

I am glad we came to the hospital today. It was nice to sit and chat, and to see Jamey feel much better. I am amazed how he embraced his new reality: giving himself the time & space during the chemo & its side effect, yet acting so completly normal as soon as he feels better. He is such a brave boy, and you are such amazing parents! We will be thinking of you David this weekend when you ride for the Race.(Drink a lot of water and wear a hat!)
We continue to pray for Jamey's speedy, full and complete recovery.
Love
