John's Third, Jessica's Two...What!!!???

John is feeling tired and nauseous today. He is a little sore from the bone marrow biopsy and the hickman but feels better once the morphine kicks in. Chemo started last night about 6:00 so by next Thursday night he will be done with the chemo for this round. Late next week into early next week will be the start of his counts dropping and him not having much energy and not feeling well.

The big news of the day came at the ultrasound this morning. John was able to get disconnected from the chemo and walk over to the other side of the hospital with me. We were waiting in the waiting room and a woman was walking out of an office and it happened to be my old neighbor Molly Cuddy. It was so great too see her. The ultrasound is showing IDENTICAL TWINS. Jen Snow you were right!! I am at 6.5 wks right now they like to have patients with a history of miscarriage to come in early for the first ultrasound. Given that it is early they aren't seeing everything they would like too see. There is nothing to really start worrying about yet we are being told that this happens a lot with such an early ultrasound and that there were 3 other patients just like me today with the same issue. One is a little bigger than the other as of now. They had me have blood work done to check my levels and they all came back with excellent numbers. I go back again next Friday for another ultrasound to see how they are developing. We were lucky 1 of John's nurses he has had in the past now works in that office so she stayed with us during the ultrasound and will stay for next weeks ultrasound. Thanks Rachel!!

John's senior football players are coming too see him in the morning tomorrow so he is very excited too see them. He was able to get on the computer today and read all the emails and look at the blog he was very touched by all your comments and prayers. Thanks for everything and talk to you soon.
