Jeremy got an early birthday present this week (his birthday is this Friday, April 25). His lab work today was good, his white count is good and his treatment only lasted an hour today! That's a great day in his book.
He got to see the other favorite women in his life, the nurses at Siteman, and that was good too. We went to eat afterwards and stopped and got a couple of movies. When I took him home, I think he was ready to be on his own today. It is wierd because I don't want to leave and I don't want to smother him. I want to be there as much as he needs me and I want him to be on his own so that he is not continuosly reminded that he has cancer (not like he could ever forget).
Fatigue is Jerm's biggest side effect so far. He likes to go all the time, so that has been pretty hard for him, but like he said if that's the worst thing that happens, he can deal with that. He has had a couple of bouts of nausea, but even that has not as bad as it could be.
Everyone has been so great to our family. I am reminded of the bible verse from Phillipians 1:3
"I thank my God everytime I remember you."
Know that each of you are in our thoughts and we are so grateful for all of you.
Jerm's mom

Great to hear there are no terrible side effects. Thank God that he made your son such a hoss! He's a sturdy kiddo. Keeping Jeremy at the top of my prayer hit list. Be sure and check your e-mail tonight, I sent a good one that was passed on to me.
Love you all, JC
Hi Jeremy.
This is Kathy Brenner. I work with your mom at Messiah. A few years ago you visited preschool in your cop car. I was one of the teachers. Anyhow, just want to say that I remember you in my prayers. I love your posts. You are an inspiration. I know I don't have to tell you how fantastic your mom is. (Your dad too - I just don't know him as well.) As a mom myself, I can understand how deep her love is for you. You are truly blessed with a beautiful family. Keep up the faith and remember to keep praying for yourself. You are in the hearts and prayers of so many who deeply care. God will be faithful to you and He will keep you close in His care. God Bless You Jeremy!
