Well it was a great afternoon/evening at home. Wonderful to see Drew get re-familiar with our home, to have everyone at the dinner table--to just be at the dinner table!-- and all of us in our own beds. Drew unfortunately started to get sick more frequently as the night went on. He hasn't been able to keep anything down today, even his anti-nausea medications. He's been such a puddle of Drew today, it's heartbreaking. He'll ask for water and drink it, but get sick within half and hour. I put a call into our team at Mayo and they have advised he comes in for fluids this afternoon and to be evaluated. They say that this particular Chemo drug has a delayed nausea side effect, so they aren't concerned about what's going on, but want him to be looked at and given some help recovering. So we are packing a bag, just in case we have to stay, and hoping we don't need it. Either way, I know he needs the fluids and relief the medications will provide (they will give the anti-nausea medications to him through his central line instead of orally). Obviously pray that he can power through the effects of this cycle of Chemo, that the Chemo is indeed killing the cancer as we endure, and that if we have to stay at the hospital it'll be short lived. What a roller coaster!

Here's Molly "holding her broder" this morning before she went to school.
