Yesterday was an important day in a bunch of ways. For one thing, amid much anticipation, Ellie arrived!
And our friend Ben was released from the hospital to go home after his bone marrow transplant. This is really inspirational because they went through chemo pretty much at the same time, and Ben only had his transplant the first week of May. This is a picture of Ben's family waiting to go.
And it was the last day of of high dose chemo.
Today Jacob's really beginning to feel the effects. He's more or less stopped eating and slept most of the day, but he rallied to play an xbox game with his friend, Franklin, for nearly an hour.
And under some duress, he took a short walk on the patio outside the unit, He is still allowed to go out of the room until thursday, and everyone (especially his physical therapist) urged him to take advantage of it.
He also had a visit from his teacher Rush, who brought a video of his class at school and many greetings. Thanks to all the Nueva sixth graders.
