Good Evening All!!

Just a quick note to let you all know how Jess is feeling. She seems to be kinda tired lately so I don't know if the chemo pills are getting to her or not. The doctor had never said anything about her giving blood again on Mondays so she was just going to ignore it until they said something but she seemed so blah today that I made her call the doctor in Medford and the doctor said that she had over looked that at her last appointment and she definitely wanted her to give blood today and check her levels. So I felt better knowing that they would be checking all her functions and blood to make sure that everything was okay... Other than that everything seems to be going okay. She has her spinal and IV chemo on Oct 18th. I'm pretty sure that her older bro Rob will be taking her as Shane has started college today and her husband will be digging up potatoes in a couple of days. But anyways I will let you all go. Love to all! Please keep Jess in your prayers! Thanks, Cindi

Hello everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that Jess is feeling pretty good. She had lost a little weight at her Monday appt so that always makes someone happy :-) Her blood ended up being a 3.3 so that is a little low but she said that they never said anything about her getting it checked over here on Mondays anymore so I'm not sure what is going on with that....and of course she didn't ask! So I'm wondering if we should give them a call tomorrow and see what is up. Everyone has been commenting on how good she looks and how she is getting back to her old self..so that is amazing to hear!! It just makes me happy :-) :-) She is still taking 3 chemo pills a day and her extra different kind on Monday when she doesn't have a spinal so I think that I'm going to check up on her tonight and make sure that she is on top of things... She had text ed me before and said that she had lunged her horse for a half an hour to start getting him back into shape so I was happy to hear that since it means to me that she is feeling better.. Well I'm off for now. Thanks so much for checking in. If anyone would like to meet us all in Reno on Nov 19th that would be awesome! We will be there for 2 nights at Circus Circus.. Just a little get away trip.. We have about 12 people going we thing so it should be a good time and we would all love to hang out! :-) Please keep Jess in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hello All,

I meant to get on yesterday but I totally spaced it!! Yesterday was Jon & Jessi's first year anniversary!!! It is hard to believe that it has been a year already :) They seem to be as much in love as when they were just dating. They have just been through so much. Everyone knows that a first year is hard anyways without being diagnosed with cancer a month after they were married. So I just wanted to say a little something about them :) lol So today Shane took Jess to chemo for me over in Medford.. We were so happy to find out that she didn't need a spinal! She gets 1 month off after having 2 we found out so that was a very very nice surprise. So she just had a push chemo today, so they actually got home about 5 pm tonight. Shane said that she slept all the way home and she had a headache when she got here so she took some Advil and rested for about a half an hour before she headed home. I was worried about her driving but you all know how stubborn she can be so I was on pins and needles until she got home and text ed me. But I will let you all go. Thanks for checking in. Please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi Everyone!!

Hope that everyone is doing well. Ive just been working and visiting with Jess. Sometimes I feel like she doesn't have enough energy but she says that she is doing fine... But she hasn't been walking with me or riding so I think that I'm right. I brought it up to her and she said that she will push herself a little more. So I will just keep an eye on her and see. She said that she was going to go work her horses today but I haven't text ed her yet to see if she had gotten it done. But I will let you all know. She has her big round of chemo on Monday and doctor appointment in Medford so I will let you know how that goes. Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in. Please keep Jess in your prayers. Love ya, Cindi

Morning All,

Just a quick hello this morning. Jess went in and got her blood drawn yesterday so hopefully everything is still fine there. They seem to be really good lately but they are really keeping an eye on her liver levels with this chemo. Shane ended up in the Urgent Care yesterday with a bee sting...just kept getting worse and worse in the past few days so Jess took him in there for me. He is now on steroids for 5 days!! wow, my kids! Found out that Jess asked Shane to take her to chemo on Monday so that is good. Jon will be hunting with Robbie... It is that time of year.. lol Well thanks for checking in. Love to all, Please keep Jess in your prayers, Cindi

Sept 12th

Sorry I haven't been on here in awhile...Jess has been doing well and I went back to work so there really wasn't much to talk about...She is still taking her chemo, steroid & antibiotic pills as you all know, so that is about all that is happening right now... Next Monday the 20th she has an IV chemo and another spinal so we are trying to figure out who is going to be taking her to that... She seems to be feeling pretty good now that she is over that darn cold so maybe this maintenance chemo won't be so bad after all. I can't imagine having 8 more spinals but she is so tough and she has her mind set so it seems like she is doing okay with them... Sooo.. I will let you all go. If you have any questions please drop me a line. Please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi :)

Sept 7th

Evening Everyone!!

Just a quick line to let you know that Jess is feeling pretty good..still has a little cough and stuffiness but that is about it. We went in today to have her blood drawn so I'm sure that we will get a call if the count is low but I'm hoping not since she has been doing good so far through this maintenance chemo. So thanks so much for checking in. Please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Sept 6th

Morning!!

Just a quick note to let you all know that Jess & Jon got home late last night from hunting. I only got to talk to her a little bit since it is like a 10 hour trip and she had driven about half way so she was tired. It is freezing up here right now and Jon has potatoes growing and so he has to get up in the middle of the night to turn the water on so that they don't freeze so he wanted to rest up some on the way home. Jess said that she was feeling better..her cough and stuffiness were almost gone. So I'm thinking that she probably won't have to go back into the doctor. Thank goodness! lol She doesn't have her IV and spinal chemo again until the 20th of this month so she will just be on her chemo pills until then. I'm hoping that she is feeling back up to riding her horses again but I will talk to her today and see how she is doing. Well it is back to work for me tomorrow...:( lol I like it and I like getting off early but getting up at 3:45 am sucks..:) So I will let you all go. Thanks for checking in. Please keep Jess in your prayers.. Love to all, Cindi

Sept 4th

Good Morning! :)

Kinda a slow weekend... Jess and Jon will be home tomorrow from hunting so that will be nice. Pat is on the hay truck today, Shane is heading to work and Rob went to Newport until Monday... sigh... lol So I really don't have much to say until I get to talk to Jess.. The phone service hasn't been real good up there so we haven't talked much. I can't believe that Jess & Jon's 1st year anniversary is coming up this month on the 19th... Poor kids have never been able to take a honeymoon yet. It will also be a year in October that Jess was diagnosed. We are planning a trip to Reno on the 19th of November!!! :) So anyone that wants to meet us down there is more than welcome! We are staying at the Circus Circus for 2 nights. They have a great internet & military special :) Rob as you all know is leaving for overseas on Dec 4-5th for 6 months. He will be stationed in Kirghistan (not really sure of the spelling) which is north of Afghanistan. Also, Jess never got to celebrate her 21st birthday so her 22nd is Nov 14th and Pat and mine's 23rd wedding anniversary is the 5th of December also! So we will have a lot going on..Imagine that!! So please if you want to come have some fun and hangout in Reno please do so :) Thanks so much for checking in. Please keep Jess & Rob in your prayers. Love, Cindi

Sept 1st 2010

Good Evening All!!

Well Jess is still hunting with Jon and his family. Jon got himself a nice 4x3 in velvet..Gorgeous deer :) Now he is hunting elk! I talked to Jess last night and they had driven down to the nearest city to take showers...she said that it felt awesome.. I bet that they were a smelly little group! lol ;) jk But Jess that she still wasn't over the cold so she was getting some medicine (just over the counter) and when she gets back this weekend if she is still sick she will go in to one of the urgent care centers here in town to see if she needs some antibiotics...I also think that we need to give Medford a call to let them know what is going on. She is still on her chemo pills, steroids and extra chemo on Monday so I don't want them giving her something that doesn't do well with any of those. But anyways that is all for now. Thanks for checking in and please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi
