As usual, our 9pm chemo start turned into 11:30. They have so many kids up here...the nurse said she had 6 chemos to give last night alone!!! I think someone needs to get busy and find a cure for this monster. It is so funny how before I was a mom of a child with cancer, I really gave it no thought. But now it seems it is everywhere, and I don't know why more people aren't talking about it. It seems lots of folks talk about breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men, but what about our babies?

So far so good with this round of methotrexate. Eli hasn't gotten sick at all. I have them giving him the Ativan, which makes him really groggy, but I would much rather him sleep than throw up. So we had a very quiet day here in the hospital. We watched alot of Scoooby Doo and slept some. I am going to have them stop the Ativan tonight when he finishes the "big yellow bag" of chemo.

John is in Charlotte for the evening and my mom is taking care of the boys. He will come back tomorrow night and relieve me here. Jacob and Sam have been invited by Tiffany and Micheal and Dell and Kelli to go to the church retreat with them. Although i was hesitant at first, I was really bummed that they couldn't go, so I relented. I know they will have a blast. If Eli gets out on Saturday I am going to try to go down too.

Please pray for good ANC counts, quick clearance of the MTX, and a clearance from the docs to get out of here!!!!
