Shit...its been that long since I updated this thing? Hard to believe I haven’t updated the site...its not like there’s been anything going on.

Heh...yeah.

The big thing is that Dante is FINALLY home. After spending over 2 weeks in the ICU, being hooked up to however many machines and monitors, its all done now...he’s in his home with his Mom & Dad. Needless to say, this has been great for Jenn & I. Although when he was awake at 3 am crying...well... you know.

Its been very tough on us, spending every day at the hospital (not to mention making that long drive everyday). It was like Dante threw a switch and he was able to feed on his own, and he stopped having breathing spells. At that point, it was just a matter of time before the hospital would release him. Driving him home from the hospital must have been the first time in my life that I kept it at the speed limit.

I had my third blast of chemotherapy the day after Thanksgiving. This one hit me like no other. The repercussions were so severe that there were several days that I was unable to even visit Dante in the hospital. I was lucky I could get out of bed to go to the bathroom. I knew that these treatments are going to kick my ass more and more as the battle continues...but #3 was real tough.

Another thing that this most recent treatment brought to me was a feeling that this fight is going to be long. A little while back I was thinking that I could deal with being down a few days, and then I would feel better...but after this last treatment, I feel that this is going to be a very long fight with some tough times.

More tomorrow...I promise.
