Great weekend & going good this week

Saturday I went to the hockey game with my best friend Jeremy and we had a great time to bad that the Jackets didn't win but we still had a good time. We are in the playoffs that's all that matters I cant wait to watch them tomorrow night. I had a great Easter Sunday Holly and I woke up and went to church with some of the family then back to my house to see our nephews and give them the gifts we got them for Easter they were so excited about the Easter bunny and it was nice to see them. Then Holly and I went to her house for Easter then ended up renting some movies and relaxing together it was a great Easter. Monday I went back to the hospital for an outpatient chemo treatment and also received some blood by my choice I was on the line so I just decided to get some so I will feel great during the week. So I feel 100% today. Tomorrow I go back in for another outpatient chemo treatment so this time if I don't need blood I will be in and out with in a couple of hours and not all day like I was on Monday.
Thanks for all the support and prayers.

Happy Easter & Im doing great!

Happy Easter everyone, I know I haven't really posted anything in a while I have been feeling really good so I have been keeping myself very busy which I like to do because it makes me feel like I'm not sick. I got out of the hospital on Tuesday after they gave me my shot. It was a very long 5 day stay at the hospital but a least I don't have another 5 day stay for a while. I have been eating a lot which is great I feel 100%. Thursday of this past week I went back in to do my outpatient chemo this chemo really doesn't do to much to me sick wise which is good so I don't mine the outpatient chemos.

Yesterday me and holly went shopping and got some Easter things for the family we also went to the movies with my little brother and had a great time I am really happy that I feel this good to go and do all these things. I am going to the jackets game tonight with my friend Jeremy and then Holly and her family will be there to so it should be a pretty great game.

Next week will be a good week I hope I only go in for two outpatient chemo treatments and then the same goes for the next week so I am out of the hospital for at least 2 weeks as long as I don't get one of those horrible fevers.

So I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that I am doing good and couldn't be better at this point. Thanks so much for the support and love and have a very happy Easter!
Please continue to pray for my friend Ryan Salmons http://www.teamsalmons.com/ and the rest of the kids on J5.

5 Day Chemo

I have been in the hospital since Thursday and I don't get out until Tuesday. Every day I have been getting chemo I have been doing really well I have my hard days and my easier days and everyday varys. I would feel great if I did not always feel nauseous I haven't really been eating anything but when I can I do try to eat something. I have yet to find a drink that I like everything taste like metal so that is frustrating at time because I need to keep hydrated. 

The doctors say I am doing great and that is great to hear my lungs are great and that make me so happy. I just wanted to let everyone know how I was doing and if I don't get to write soon I wish everyone a Happy Easter!!!

Please continue to pray for my friend Ryan and his family and also all the other kids on J5. 

Thanks so much for the support and prayers.
