Some times in our lives, we will have pain, we will have sorrow. But, if we are wise, we realize theres always tomorrow. Lean on me, when your not strong, I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on. For, it won't be long, til I'm gonna need, somebody to lean on.
I spent a good part of the night singing to him to help manage the pain. I usually try to stay positive in these posts, but this has been an especially long night. These two particular chemo drugs he's getting this go-round usually cause the most discomfort. They have always been the tough ones to get through, but this time -with the radiation being administered simultaneously- is just beating him up. He woke up several times in the night crying out that his legs hurt. His head hurt. The nurse tried one drug after another. He begged me to pick him up and carry him to the emergency room. "You don't understand, I feel like I'm dying. You've got to give me something else!" Once all the possible drugs have been given to ameliorate the pain and he is still in pain, nothing is left but breathing, massage, changing bed positions, distractions and music. It seems we start there and finish there. Holding his hand.
Singing.
Rest your head close to my heart, never to part, baby of mine.

I wish that I could take the pain away. I know how it is to not be able to get comfortable to fall asleep. I have tears in my eyes as I was reading this. Kristin I truly adore you and Jonas. I know it must have been so hard to stay strong. But you know that this too shall pass. And there are brighter days ahead of this. I will keep you in my prayers and I am always thinking about you all. Let me know if there is anything, anything at all you need. You got it.

Dude- (this is James F.) -I can't possibly imagine how terrible your pain is riht now. All I can say is to hold on with your mom and know that at school, we LOVE you and are always looking forward to the day in April or whenever when you will come back home to the orchestra room. I can't begin to explain how everyone here ADORES you. Hang in there buddy.

I am so sorry that Jonas had such a rough night and that he was in so much pain. I know it must be hard to watch your baby hurt and feel the helplessness of not being able to make it all better. Praying from relief from the pain for Jonas and strength for both of you!

I am SO sorry to hear that. It makes me cry just reading it so I can only imagine how hard it is experiencing it with him as his mom. It is almost over...that is the only thing I can think of!

Oh, Jonas...my heart breaks for you and your mom. Everything is being killed; the good along with the bad. Hopefully, the bad cells will stay dead and you will have time to mend and cure the living ones. Know that everyone loves you and is rooting for you...
We send our love and want you home soon, healed, to bring strength to all of us. LOTS OF HUGS, The Koshlands

Wow. That is so tough to read Kristen. I cant imagine having to deal with something like this, especially with our own kids. Please know that you as well as Jonas, are covered in prayer for comfort, strength and healing. Please tell Jonas we love him and to keep fighting.
