Day -3

Joe received the sweetest gift yesterday, and here he is posing with it! It is a baby blanket from Evonne, Thomas and Leah. Four years ago, Leah was born premature and had to stay in the NICU for 97 days. When the family was able to finally leave the hospital, this is one of the blankets they received. It has been a symbol of comfort and love for them as they also had an amazing network of people supporting them and praying for them. Now they've passed this blanket onto Joe. Beautiful, don't you think?

Joe was feeling much more nauseated last night. He finally accepted some Ativan, and was able to get his first good night of sleep since being admitted. This morning he was in much better spirits, although he still has a headache. Joe's definitely looking forward to watching some football today and tomorrow though! Also, his hem-onc friend Jay will be stopping by for a visit.
