We made it home last night around 9:30 last night. Mrs.Escalante brought the girls home shortly after we got here, I was so excited to see them! Ella was already sleeping when they got here, but Addie was ready to hang out with me : ).
Sean is feeling pretty beat, but he seems to be feeling a little better tonight. He is very weak right now and has been feeling a little nauseas every so often. It is so cute, Ella just adores Sean, she won't leave him alone! She stands at the end of the recliner gibbering stuff to him. She will keep puckering her lips until I lift her up so she can kiss him!
So, I am amazed at what we have learned through Sean's journey with melanoma. We have learned a large amount, from medical procedures, chemo and biological therapies, medications to love, support and hope. We live in the moment and love hanging out with our friends. Today, I learned how to hook an IV up to Sean. He has a port that was placed in his chest, that the nurse has accessed for us (no needles for me : ) ), so I am able to run and change IV fluids that Sean is receiving right now. He only has to have the IV hooked for a few hours a day, so he still has a little freedom.
Sean will start his next round of biochemo the first week of April. We will actually probably head down there on Sunday, March 30th. We will be there all week again : (. I believe he will be getting his next CT scans a couple weeks after he is home from the next round (if that makes sense to you). Well, thats all for now, I will try to update again soon. ~nicole~

Again thank you Nicole for up-dates on Sean's progress. You still continue to amaze me on your knowledge and de-tale on all of Sean's medical
.That in itself is so helpful for you both. We Maxson's have our share but God is turnig this around
and making all whole once again.
God's blessing for continue healing
and what a beautiful family you all are.Much love and prayers, Aunt Doreena.
Great to hear that things are going well. I am sure that getting home to the little ones was some of the best medicine for him (and you). You are right to live in the moment, and enjoy and cherish each memory. Life should be lived that way, regardless, we just usually take it for granted when we aren't in a situation like you and I are. Many blessings for a special Easter together.
