finally a few days of rest
Well, the Clewis family has finally been able to have a few days of rest in the comfort of there own home. They've all been able to spend sometime together, and with friends and family. However, Jade and Justin are quickly learning to become nurses. Mason has daily GCSF injections, which they administer at home at the sametime, this injection stimulates the bone marrow to produce more white blood cells. Mason also has many other things he takes daily such as an antinausea med., magnesium, and on weekends he gets antibiotics to prevent pnemonia. He also takes a natural product called "GOJI" juice which helps build immunity which inturn builds more white blood cells. When they are home Mason has to go for regular bloodwork, he had it on Friday and everything looked good. They go tommorow to Regina for a hearing test because losing hearing is one of the side effects of the chemo so they need to do regular testing. Jade and Justin are absolutely overwhelmed and extremely greatful to have all the support. They cannot believe how wonderful everyone is being and so blessed to have such special people in their lives. Mason is loving the messages he is receiving and it sure lifts his spirits................thanks to all and they truly are blessed to have such amazing friends and family.

Hi Mason,
We are in the process of making a few things for you. They will be things that include the whole class. We are working hard on both of them and we will send them with Kale. Have a great week.
Hi Mason,
Hope everything goes good in Regina today. So happy to hear you all had a nice family w/e.
It is so nice of Jade's cousin to keep us up-dated by way of this blog.
I'm sure the Clewis family is overwhelmed with the support from everyone. A good friend of ours had a stem cell transplant recently and at his fundraiser talked about thanking people. He said the best thing he could do to repay everyone was to get better! So just get better Mason! Love you all.
Hi Mason!!!
How was your bowling party the other day? I hope you had a lot of fun and got a chance to visit with all of your friends! Were you the bowling champ of the day? I just want to let you know that I am thinking of you today and hope that your tests go well in Regina. I can't wait to see you in a few weeks, many hugs to you! Love you, say hi to mom, dad and Kale for me!
Talk with you soon,
