Ready or Not Here We Go!


Well yesterday was the big day! Jared started his conditioning chemotherapy at home and it went pretty well! We started his Pre- Medication bright and early at 7:30 am and then had his chemotherapy doses at 8:00 am, 2:00 pm, 8:00 pm, and 2:00 am, as well as doses at those same times today. We are now  7/12th of the way done with the first chemo drug! So far, Jared has been handling the drugs very well, we have had no vomiting yet and that makes me very happy! (At the appointment we had on Sunday to learn all about the way to give chemo at home the nurse gave me a nice hot pink bucket, so incase Jared has to throw up I have to sift through it to see if the chemo was digested or not...... This process has all together made me not as queasy and scared, but this really?!? ewww! that is a little too far....) So, to say the least, I am very very thrilled that Jared has not had to throw up! The Anti-Seizure medication Jared is on is supposed to have the side affect of being intoxicated so we have had some pretty funny conversations in the last day. So far, Jared is feeling well and happy it has been very uneventful which I guess is a good thing. 

                                          Jared has SO MANY PILLS! I am trying to keep track of them all! 
                                            Here is the Chemo Pills. Each does is 38 pills.....not all in this picture. 

We know it is only going to get harder from here so we are thankful for some easy first days! We meet every morning with Jared’s transplant team for a clinical check up to see how you he is doing everyday. Thank you for your continued prayers as we continue on this journey!
                                                             When Jared is awake he is playing Fifa :)
