We are back home! We drove home immediately after Jon's treatment on Tuesday. He did well until about 30 minutes before we got to our house. He started shaking and shivering. By the time we got home he was in sweat pants, sweatshirt, covered in a blanket with his fever rising even after taking advil. Thank goodness I can text his PA. She said it was most likely a reaction to the bleomycin, the chemo drug he received Tuesday. She said it can cause chills and fever. The ordeal lasted about 5 hours and then by 1030PM the fever was gone and Jon was eating spaghetti and meatballs. It was a crazy experience. Again, so glad I could reach the PA or we would probably would have headed to the ER.
Since Tuesday night Jon has been feeling good. He is still weak and feels fatigue. But he is eating normal and able to be up and participating in our crazy lives! His goal is to be back to work Friday.
Please pray that Jon will gain some weight back before he starts his high dose in less than 2 weeks. Pray also God will protect him from germs as he works and that he will continue to gain strength.
Again, thanks for joining us on the journey!
We are GODSTRONG!
This isn't the greatest picture but it shows all the kids--including my nieces--praying for Jon. We lay hands on him every night and pray for him. It is a precious time!

Sooo glad you get to be home finally and that Jon is slowly feeling even a bit better. His reaction must have been so scary, but I am so glad you were able to talk with the doctor!!! And, I love the sweet pictures of the kids praying. Love and prayers, love and prayers-- Amy and Fam :)
