Evening!
Got a call from the cancer center today...I guess Jessi's liver is acting up. Not really sure what is going on. They wanted her to get in and have some more blood drawn so that they could do different tests on it.. So we will wait and see. They told her not to take her one Monday chemo pill since that is the one that is toxic to the liver. That is also the same chemo that they put in her spine... Must be lovely stuff. She is still feeling super tired it seems too so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with that to. Well I will let you all go. I will let you all know if I find anything else out. Please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All,
Well we went and Jess's blood drawn yesterday...She ended up being pretty tired and we really didn't do much in town so I was thinking that her blood count might be low. I thought that we might hear from the doc today but we didn't so I think that her blood is high enough to be okay but low enough that it is affecting her. So I guess that we will just keep plugging along as long as we don't hear anything. I got her next appointment set up for November 15th...We will have a long day over in Medford but we will get it all done in one day over there. I'm taking the day off to take Jess. It seems to make her happy to have Mom with her and to tell you the truth I hate her going without me. I just feel better being with her. So she will have the blood drawn and doc visit plus IV chemo and the horrible spinal.. Yuk! So I will let you all go. Thanks so much for checking in and please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All,
Sorry I haven't been on lately...Just been busy and not taking the time to get on here and write... Jess hasn't been feeling to hot lately. Not really sure what is going on but of course I worry about it. Her blood was at a 2 point last Monday so that might be the problem too. She woke up Sunday with chest pains which last time ended up being her gall bladder so Pat ran down her medicine which was still at our house. It seemed to help her and she hasn't complained since. But she came over today and she seemed kinda cranky and moody but she said that she didn't sleep well last night so that might be it. Tomorrow she said that she has to go in for a blood test so I'm thinking since her blood was low last Monday that they are doing a checkup on it. So we will see if they find anything... I also called the doctor in Medford today to request a doctor and hospital for her next spinal on the 15th. She is going through enough already so if this makes her feel better then I will try my damnedest

Hi All,
Well Jess has been having it rough after this last session... She really was tired yesterday and slept off and on all day. Her back is hurting her and I think that she is tired mentally. Sometimes I just don't know what to do. I was with her today and she just had that look. Mother's know these things.. I don't like it but I really don't know exactly what to do. She just has been through so much and these spinals are what are dragging her down emotionally I know it. If she just had the pills and IV chemo I'm sure that she could handle this. I guess that I better just straighten my shoulders and get tough. I have to be there for her sooo.. I need to figure out what to do. Well I'd better get going. I'm super tired but we have a four day weekend so I'm pretty happy. I feel like I need it. I will let you all know how Jess is and please keep her in your prayers. Thanks for checking in. Love to all, Cindi

Good Evening everyone!!
Just a quick note to let you know that Jess had the everything day today :( Her blood counts were a little lower than what she has been running but the doctor says that they are still high enough that we don't have to do anything as of yet.. Her IV chemo went well and then she had her spinal chemo too. It was a little rough and the doctor actually hit a nerve in her back that she felt down her leg :( When he was done she usually turns over and lays on her back for over an hour to let the hole close up in her spine so that nothing leaks out and that keeps her from getting a headache too. But she immediately got a headache today and then kept it off and on until she got here. I don't know why that happened but I gave her lots of fluids, caffeine (which is suppose to help with headaches) and a good dinner hoping that that would help her. So hopefully it subsides by tomorrow.. It is bad enough that she has to go through this and I hate to see her in pain too. I know that I have told you all this before but it bugs me so much... She had actually lost a little weight again so she was super happy about that at least.. Well I'm off for now.. 3:40 am comes awful soon.. Thanks so much for checking in.. I know that it has been a long haul. Please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All,
Sorry about that first Oct 17th...I somehow hit the enter button and it published nothing.. lol Well anyways tomorrow is D day... I can sure tell that Jess is dreading it. I know that I would sure be.. It is so hard on her mentally... So all I can do is pray that everything goes as smooth as it can go.. Her and Pat are leaving around 6:30 in the morning so they will end up having a long day.. She sure has been blah and tired lately..Ive tried asking her what is up but Jess has always been one to keep everything in... I just hate to see her like this.. I think that she is thinking about the spinal and just doesn't feel good without taking the steroids.. I wish that she would just take a few to just keep her energy level up and give her some get up and go. So please keep her in your prayers and I will let you all know how everything goes tomorrow. Thanks for checking in. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All,
Just a quick note to let you all know that we went in to the cancer center today to get Jess's blood drawn for her spinal on Monday. They always check certain levels before each spinal and they have told me why but to tell you the truth I just don't remember what for.... Sorry! So we got that done and then on Monday they have to be there bright and early at 8:15 am for her doctor appt, then IV chemo and then her spinal at 1:30..It is about an hour and a half trip over to Medford so it won't be to bad. Pat is taking the day off and taking her so that will be nice. So that is all for now..Thanks so much for checking in. Please keep Jess in your prayers and she continues her journey to full recovery. Love to all, Cindi

UPDATE:
Well we really didn't find out anything on Ricki..He either has something wrong in his spinal column or something in his hip.. So he got a joint shot and he has to be kept in a small pen and given bute (anti-inflammatory & pain med) twice a day for a week and then another check up. Plus, after that he will need some chiropractor work done on his back he thinks..Soooo... No riding for quite awhile :( I was just super worried that it might be something super bad and we might have to put him down or something! I was trying to think positive but it has just been one of those days. So Jess and I were relived that we could do something like keep him quiet in a pen for a week..and if he gets any worse he wants to see him sooner..So I will let you guys know if your interested. Thanks!! Cindi

Hello All!!
Just a quick note to let you know that Jess ended up not showing yesterday because Ricki hurt his leg somehow... So in about an hour we are taking him into the vet to see if it is serious or not.. So please keep your fingers crossed. Other than that we had a pretty good weekend. We went hunting on Sat but by the end of the day Jess was pretty wiped out. So I'm of course a little worried about her cause you can sure see it in her face when she is at the end of her rope for the day. So I will let you all go and I will drop you a line either tonight or tomorrow and let you all know how everything goes. Please keep Jess in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Wrote the below story and then changed the picture above :) Just for those of you who don't know that is Jess and her older brother Rob who is the one that is going overseas in December :(
Oct 8th
Evening Everyone!!
Hope all is going well.. Everything is the same here.. It is deer/elk hunting time so we have been busy with that. Jess is actually going to show her horse this Sunday so she has been trying to ride Ricki (the horse in the above picture) and get him ready. He seems to be doing pretty good for her lately so that is good. It also helps that she is stronger and able to kick his butt if he acts up. Before, he knew that if he did something she really wasn't feeling up to making him be good. So then he acted up, acted up and acted up! The little snot.. lol He really is a very sweet horse but he does have some attitude.. :) So hopefully all goes well this Sunday! I will let you all know how she does. Thanks so much for checking in and please keep her in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All,
Just a quick note to let you all know that we headed up for blood today and when they checked in the computer the doctor said that she didn't need to do it?? hmmm... We were not really sure why but Jess was happy.. Maybe because all of her tests have been good lately so maybe they feel like she is holding her own on this. She has all of her appointments next Monday so I'm sure that she will find out for sure what is going on. So I will let you all know then but for now she is feeling better from her infection all ready with the antibiotics and I'm still drilling her on drinking lots and lots of water!! Thanks so much for checking in and I will let you all go. Please keep her in your prayers!. Love to all, Cindi

Hi Everyone!
Sorry I haven't been on lately...Not much going on. Jess has been fighting a bladder infection with all the medicine that she is on. So that really sucks.. We got her a antibiotic today so hopefully that will take care of it. Tomorrow she has to go in and do blood work to check levels again so I'm always happy to get that done because then I know that the doctor is looking it over.. She still doesn't seem to have the energy level that I would like to see but Im not really sure what to do about it.. So I will just try to keep her eating healthy and drinking lots and keeping a close eye on her. So I will let you know if we find out anything tomorrow. I want to send a note out to Kim Otto... Thanks so much for all your sweet and supportive posts! and I'm praying for your daughter :) Thanks everyone for checking in and please keep Jess in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi
