Hi Everyone!!
Just want you all to know that nothing has changed...Jess is still feeling the same and Rob is doing the same at the base. I was hoping that Jess would get over her cold or I was wondering if it is just allergies of some sort...I'm not really sure. But she will have her blood done on Monday morning again so we will see if anything pops up. Rob said that it is just still cold there and he just works... I just got another package organized to send over there to him. Shane was supposed to mail it today but he forgot so I will get it done either tomorrow or Monday. Well thanks for checking in and please keep them both in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Evening all!
Well Jess seems to be feeling better... she doesn't sound it but how she is acting I think that she has more energy. She went in on Monday for her blood test so she can see if her liver was okay to take her extra chemo pill that night and no call came from the doctor so we figured that everything was a go. She usually feels pretty blah for a few days after taking it but she hasn't said anything about it yet so I'm crossing my fingers and saying my prayers that she will do okay this week. It is horrible to see your child feeling like this all of the time. I will be taking her on the 7th for her next round of big chemo.... I seriously don't like to take her cause I hate to see her go through it but you all understand how it is....So I will let you all know how the next few days go.
Rob called last night..He said that it is still bitterly cold there and everything is about the same..he is just working and sleeping basically.. With the twelve hour days it is really hard to do anything else. He said that he is though enjoying his two beers on his day off though so that is good. I told him to get us some more pictures to look at over there and I got a no comment.. lol He told me that he got the one package and he took a couple of things for himself but he took the bulk of it to the marines liaison office where they were going to distribute it out. I was very proud of him and I'm getting another couple of boxes together to send over there. Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in. Love to all! Please keep Jess and Rob in your prayers. Cindi

Morning Everyone!
All is about the same..Jess is still feeling pretty yucky with a horrible cough.. Don't know what I'm going to do with her.. The doctors pretty much say that she has to get over it herself unless we get some major congestion or fever..Over the counter medicines just don't seem to work on her..I can only imagine with what her body has seen so far... She will get her blood checked on Monday so I will let you all know if we hear anything..
Rob tried calling me last night but I was working at the basketball games and couldn't hear him so that was a bummer. I came home and wrote him on the computer. If any of you are on Facebook you can write to him on there too. I think that he told me that he finally got my one package that I sent him!! Yay!! I'm not positive yet since I haven't got to talk to him but I could of swore that that is what I heard.. lol He did say that it is still colder than heck there and he is sick of that though.. I can only imagine. Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in and please keep Rob and Jess in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Evening Everyone!
Hope that all is well with everyone! Jess is still sick it seems..all stuffed up and coughing still. Really don't know what to do with her. She has already been through a round of antibiotics and she takes antibiotics daily anyways! I think that her poor body just doesn't feel those at all and her resistance is always on the lower end because of her white cells. Sooo... idk when she will get rid of it. The doctor isn't concerned unless she gets congestion in her chest or a fever...as you all know if she gets over a 100.3 they like freak out...So I got her some vitamins to hopefully help out. I will let you all know how she is doing.
Rob is doing good...really sick of the cold tho over there. One of his big packages that I sent over there has never made it so I'm pretty bummed about that. I will get some more stuff bought and get it together to mail. He has been over there a lil over a month! He says that the time seems to be going quickly since all he really does is sleep and work.. lol Well I'm off for now. Thanks so much for checking in. Love to all and please keep them both in your prayers. Cindi

Hello All,
Well Jess and Jon got back from Portland today..she was super tired but we feel like the trip went well. Hopefully when the new protocol starts it won't be so intense. We won't see it for sure until the next chemo/spinal on Feb 7th.. It would be nice to finally only have a spinal once every three months..hopefully the IV chemo will be spread out like that too. So I will let you know if I hear anything new..
Rob called tonight. It was really good to hear his voice. He hadn't called in awhile but I talk to him through facebook messages about every other day. I found out that his one pkg never made it there so that really upset me. I had his magazines and lots of food that he liked in there. I don't know what happened to it since he got the one. So I'm going to go buy some more stuff and get it mailed as soon as I can. He said that it is colder than heck there and dark all the time for him it seems but he is getting a good schedule down with going to the gym with some guys that he works with. So that is good to hear. I miss him bunches and can't wait for him to be back in the states. Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in. Please keep them both in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hey Everyone!
Jess & Jon are up in Portland...Seen the doctor early this evening..He said that she is doing good and her liver is acting up because the chemo is working and they will adjust it up and down to compensate. He was wondering where we were since we always have a posse when we go up there.. lol I thought that that was nice of him to ask :) She has to have chemo tho until July of 2012 so that is kinda a downer to hear... I told her tho that we can do it!!!! Lots of prayers and positive thoughts to give her strength and to keep her well... With how bad the cancer was they have to do this to make sure to keep it away.. He wants to see her in another 6 months and if everything is still going good he will then want her up there in another year.. So overall this is good and she is in remission so that is amazing!! Well I'm off for now. Thanks so much for checking in. Please keep the kids in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Reno Trip!
^^^^^^This was the singer in the lounge singing Happy Birthday to Jess at the Silver Legacy in Reno when we went :-) ^^^^^^^
Jan 11, 2011
Kinda a weird date or maybe lucky date today? 1-11-11 wow.. Time is flying!
Well yesterday was a long day.. I just hate them..Not because of me but for all Jess is going through still. We had blood at the cancer center, then spinal at the hospital and then back to the cancer center for doctor visit and IV chemo. We got home about 12 hrs later. She is just so super tired..physically and major mentally. Her and Jon will head up to Portland for her Thurs doctor visit. It will be a long week for her with that going on also. It always takes her about a week to recover from her monthly visit to Medford.
Rob is doing a little better now. I'm so happy to hear. Sounds like he is making some new friends finally. Always takes him a little bit to do that. Not like me..Miss Yakker! lol He said that it is super cold over there..It doesn't help that he never sees the sun with his hours. He posted some pictures from over there so it was cool to see. I hope that he does more. Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in and please keep Rob & Jess in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Morning Everyone!
It is a chilly 12 degrees here this morn! Wow how cold it has been lately! Talked to Rob last night. He said that he is sick of the cold over there. Single digits all the time during the day. He was excited to get up a little early one day and he actually seen the sun for the first time in a long time since being over there. He said that he is sick of the food. Not real great over there. He was really happy to get a pkg from me. It took like two weeks to get there so if you would like to send him something please make it air tight or like in ziploc bags. I think that it makes me happy to get stuff from home. I sent food, magazines and of course a couple of notes :)
Well Jess has a big round of chemo tomorrow. We are leaving here about 6:30 am to head to Medford. She has spinal chemo and then IV chemo. I'm anxious to talk to the doctor because she just hasn't been feeling good at all lately. Very nauseous and sick. Don't know if it is the liver or what.. Then her and Jon will head to Portland for appts on Thurs. Hopefully the weather stays okay for their big drive up there. Please keep the kids in your prayers. Thanks for checking in. Love to all, Cindi

Evening All!
Well talked to Rob a little online tonight. He seems to be doing a lot better. It is so good for me to hear this....He said that he is getting his sleep schedule finally down and getting used to his hours even though he is super exhausted after working six twelve hour days.. He is also trying to work out every morning when he gets off to stay in shape. The weather over there is really cold right now to so I'm sure that doesn't help with being tired. I know if I get cold it always makes me tired...
Jess got her blood drawn on Monday and she got the A okay to take her extra chemo. Her poor liver is just working its butt off! :) She still is feeling a little under the weather with her cold though so that is a pain.. We have a big chemo day coming up next Monday and then up to Portland on Thurs so next week is a big one. Well I'm off for now so please keep the kids in your prayers and thanks so much for checking in. Love to all, Cindi
