A lot to say... It’s Cancer.
Hey Hey Hey everyone,
Here is the Rowe Update:
Day 1....
We started off strong on day one, we met an awesome couple, Lacy and Nolan... They have a 10 week old little boy who is absolutely precious. Nolan is going through almost exactly the same regimen as Jacob and as horrible as I feel that they are going through this, I am grateful that we are not alone and can talk with people who know what we are going through at this time. The funniest part of all this that we all got a crack out of, was both of our experiences at the sperm bank.... :(((
(SIDE NOTE: Im sorry I have to side note just for how funny and awkward this is.... (Don't worry Jacob gave full permission for me to talk about it.) If you know me then you know that I do not get embarrassed easy, I would even say that sometimes I cause embarrassing moments for others and we all laugh about....but I will say that the SPERM BANK.....MOST AWKWARD MOMENT OF MY LIFE!!! You see Jacob and I laugh about everything and we had a discussion about what he had to "do (Censor)" and of course I was uncomfortable because as Christians we do not tempt ourselves and so Jacob and I abstain from anything that is not with each other including it being by ourselves. But..... it was something that had to be done and so the only way to handle it was of course to laugh and make jokes.... Of course i'm embarrassed sitting there waiting on Jacob and he walks back into the lobby in front of everybody and yells "NAILED IT"!!! I promise you my face has never been so red in my life and people just laughed with us.... I can honestly say that I now realize how important laughter is in situations like these. I thank God everyday for blessing me with a man that has the same sick sense of humor as myself. )
Sorry about that, back to day 1.... started off great and Jacob was feeling good while the 3 medicines where being transfused through his body. It was when we got home that Jacob started feeling the side affects of Chemo Therapy. He described it like a warm water in his stomach that was swooshing around constantly. I knew he wasn't feel well because through out our marriage i have never had to worry if Jacob was hungry because the Answer was always "YES" and after his treatment I think it was the first time I heard no. So it was force feeding time... Lots of oatmeal.
Day 2...
Day 2 we woke up and got Dyl-Pickle to school, Sonny-Ann to Grandma and we headed up to the DR.'s office and started Jacobs therapy which was only 4 hours instead of 5!! WOOHOO We saw our friends again and so Jacob and Nolan shared their "War Stories" from the night before and were both relieved that they were both feeling the same way. We also met a young gentleman who stopped by named Micah who had "Gradutated" from the same regimen that Jacob and Nolan were going through. I really appreciate Micah, he was super positive and we got to see the Light at the End of the tunnel through him. It was hard to find something for Jacob to eat that didn't make hime sick but he told me all he was craving was Pasta and thank the Lord spaghetti warehouse is literally a mile away.
Day 3
Everything was pretty much the same and all Jacob was wanting to eat now was Chicken Fetuccini Alfredo so the guys at the Spaghetti Warehouse now know me by name!! Jacob's Grandma Dink and Papa Dave stopped by both wed. and thursday which put a smile on Jacobs Face. They crack us up and Dave is telling the nurses that he calls his wife(Dink) PITA..... This is an acronym for Pain in the .... and he had all the nurses laughing.
Day 4
Jacobs Parents went with us so that I could run a few errands with my Sonny-Girl... they have been such a huge help to us with watching Sonny-Ann and helping out anyway that they can.... I get so prideful sometimes and don't want to accept it because I was raised to be very independent by my parents but something Jacob told me that one of our friends (Leighann) told him was do not rob somebody of their blessing. So of course I was like noooooooo when God was telling me YESSSSSSSS. I love our family so much and am slowly recognizing that having help isn't necessarily saying your weak it's just being a part of a family.
My mom and sister call me everyday and it's just so nice to have them to talk to and to have such a wonderful relationship with them... my dad is just a rock for me, telling me everything is going to be ok and then breaking out his guitar so i can be distracted by our favorite pastime together.
After chemo everyday Jacob takes a nap (which seems the best way for him to get through the pain) and when he woke up he wanted to go watch all the boys (his team) play their game... I was hesitant at first because his immune system is shot but i compromised and made him wear a medical mask and bathed him in Germ X.... We had so much fun listening to Uncle Randy scream for the Indians and watching Sonny-Ann play with her GG and PawPaw... She loves them so much!!
Day 5
Well we are in day 5 so we will get back to you after the weekend...
I want to thank everybody so much for your love and support and for all of the food lol.... it is so nice to be able to take care of Jacob and the kids and not worry about what I am making that night... such a small gesture that speaks volumes for our family! We love you all and are so Grateful God put you all in our life.
Everyone have a blessed day
