Friday Breakfast

It has been a few weeks since Jake has been able to start his Friday with some food in his system. For the last 3 weeks he has been scheduled for surgery on Friday morning, so he has not been allowed to eat any food after 2am.

For most of us, that is a small inconvenience and we can deal with it. However, for Jake this has been a pretty big deal. Most of us will eat 3 meals a day as well as some snacks in between. Jake eats about 6-10 "meals" a day thanks in part to the steroids that he is on. These meals are not just small things like a sandwich and chips. They are full meals with multiple helpings. Within an hour of eating, he is already looking for something more to eat. It is a very strange thing to watch someone of his size put away this much food.

He was blessed this morning by some very large cinnamon rolls. He said it was very hard to wait for them to be ready because they were smelling so good.

Today he will be heading into the clinic to receive an IV treatment of Chemo as well as having some blood drawn for more tests. We are hoping...No, we are EXPECTING to hear great results today.
