First round.....complete

Well, here it goes his first round of chemo is done. We weren't able to use one of the drugs because his heart was too weak. We had no idea he was having any heart trouble either....this little man has given no warning signals for anything. We did get news that the bone scan was good no new hot spots. He had an OK first night they drugged him up for nausea pretty good but found out that it was almost too much because Thursday his emotions were all over the place. Which made it really hard on mom too to see him be so upset and crying. Yesterday was a much better day they gave him low doses of his anti nausea meds and he didn't cry one time. He also got a little nap in here and there. I need to remember to bring up more things to help him take his mind off of it. We had a few visitors to come up and help pass the time A big shout out to you all for doing that. It was much appreciated. He is scheduled to come home today sometime. The echo on his heart yesterday was much better. I am not sure if the Dr's are going to try to use the other drug next round or not. We will have to wait and see. Please keep him in your prayers. We are not sure when we go back.
Derrick and Kyle came up last night for a visit but Kyle was not able to go see him. The rules are no one under 14 can go up to floor. So he was pretty mad. We had dinner at the cafeteria with Grandma and Grandpa Harris there and then Denzil got to stay the night and I got to go home for a rest in my own bed. Kyle ran up to me showing me his perfect report card and Derrick was sporting a new shaved head in support of his "little chunk" (that's Devin's nickname and ...he doesn't mind it he says). They had a good week at home with G and G Harris and got to have Shane their cousin stay the night last night. Today they get to go to the BYU football game and I get to take them. I think I need the distraction. I can't go back up there right now. I am a bag a nerves right now.
I came home to a wonderfully clean home thanks to all the sisters that made that possible. You have to know how much I appreciated that.
Love to you all please know our love for you all.
