Evening All!
Sitting at the computer freezing to death! lol Pat turned down the heater for the night and it is like 15 degrees outside and the wind is blowing..It is supposed to get down to 0 tonight so it will be a cold one! Brrrr.... Rob said that the weather over there is still colder then here and he said that it is miserable... Well I got to chat with Rob for about 15 mins on a chat so it was nice..We usually just write letters so it was kinda neat to see his answers pop right back up at me :) :) He said that he finally got my one package with his books and special snacks that I sent..He said that they were yummy! lol We even sent some fresh albacore tuna from the coast over there. He said that he didn't think that it was possible but the food has gotten worse..I just can't believe that..I told him that I would send him special stuff to eat but he said that maybe this was good cause he has lost weight and trimmed down.. Can't wait to see him in June! lol He said that his hand was feeling lots better with all the antibiotics that they are having him take so that made me feel a lot more at ease! :)
I decided to call the doctor myself on Jess. This was really driving me up the wall and getting me major concerned... I don't care how much a doctor cares for you or means all the best in the world they are still human and usually are super busy so I felt that I needed to call and give a push! Good thing that I did cause they were like..hmmmm.... another nurse took all this info and was supposed to confer with the doctor and then something happened and it never got done.. So Kelly (one of our fav nurses) answered the phone and was very concerned and took all the info and asked all kinds of questions and took it to the doctor. Within an hour I had 2 prescriptions over here in Klamath all lined up.. I called Jess and she was very relieved to hear this. The poor thing is exhausted from all of this. So hopefully in a few days I will have some good news to report! Well I'm off for now. Please keep the kids in your prayers. Thanks for checking in and love to all, Cindi

Evening Everyone!
Well I really don't know what to do with Jess anymore..this cough/cold is getting out of control...It has been over 3 months and she is having a heck of a time.. She is now sleeping on the couch because she is keeping Jon up too. I told her that I was going to call the doctor tomorrow but she said that they already called to check up on her so that is good to hear. I'm wondering about a prescription cough medicine or something I don't know..I will let you all know what the doctor has to say. Her liver was good enough for her to take her extra Monday chemo pill though..
Rob got ahold of me via facebook which then sends it to my phone today when I was at work...I guess that his nail or finger got a cut and then picked up some sort of infection...It was getting pretty bad and painful when he finally went to the doctor today and they said it was pretty bad and the infection was spreading through his hand so he is on a heavy antibiotic every 8 hours for 7 days straight.. I swear my children...No wonder Ive had a super bad headache all day.. worry worry worry! Well I'm off for now. I will let you all know how they are doing. Please keep them both in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Evening All!!
Not much to report but I just wanted you all to know that everything is about the same.. Jess picked herself up some different cold/cough medicine so hopefully that will help..It sure is a pain..Keeps her and Jon up a lot at night. That is so hard on everyone when you don't get your hours of sleep in... Tomorrow she has to come in for her Monday blood test...I noticed this weekend that her eyes were yellow tinted so hopefully her liver isn't to bad...I will let you all know.. If her blood is okay then she will take her Monday chemo pills. We don't have her next chemo over in Medford until March 7. I will be taking her over there this time for sure..
Rob seems to be the same. He finally got my one package which made him happy but it wasn't the one with the books so he is hoping that that one comes in soon too. I have another package sitting on the table that I'm slowly filling up with his favorite stuff. I hope to get it mailed off this week.
Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in. Please keep Rob and Jess in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Just a quick note to let you all know that everything is the same... Not much to report.. Jess still has her congestion but it seems a little better..and Rob is going to work and working out and enjoying his one day off a week..lol He finally got one of my packages though so he was happy but it wasn't the one with his books that he really wanted in it so hopefully in a couple of days he will get that one...I'm getting another package ready to go since it takes almost three weeks for it to get over there so I'm gathering up books, magazines and more snacks :) Jess has been trying to get riding her horses again though so I think that it is really good for her. I'm trying to get her to ride at least 3-4 days a week...it is so good for her physically and mentally...plus her horses need it! lol Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in. Please keep my kids in your prayers and send positive thoughts and energy :) Love, Cindi

Hi Everyone!!
Happy Valentines Day!!!! Hope that everyone had a good day and or evening!
Jess is feeling better it seems...the allergy medicine does seem to be helping some and she seems to be getting stronger from the cold.. It makes me happy to see this. Wow, she can still get me pretty worried... She went in today for her Monday blood test to see if she can take her other chemo pill tonight. I haven't talked to her so I'm not sure if everything is okay or not. The last few times she has been okay so I'm sure that she will be this time too. She sure had a rough time with her last spinal last Monday..She hurt all of last week. Now that can really bug me... I know that I have said it before but you know how you feel when your child is hurting and all that she has gone through mentally and physically. It has been a long year...
Rob called last night. He seems to be doing pretty good. It has been two months already! He is working out for a good hour at least 4-5 times a week. He told Shane that he has lost some weight and is getting into shape. He only has his two beers a week on his day off so I'm sure that that has helped too! I had a feeling that this would be good for him to do..He needed to get out of here but I sure do miss him! Well I'm off for now. Please keep them both in your prayers. Thanks so much for checking in. Love to all, Cindi

Mornin Everyone!
Well Jess has been having a rough with this last spinal...it was fine during the procedure (she thought) but now very painful... She had her very favorite doctor but she said that he had a little problem so he gave her another couple of pain shots to make sure but like I said she thought that everything felt the same but she flinched and he said that that was unacceptable..Sooo..now her back is super sore so hopefully we can get her through that. Other than that the IV chemo went okay and even though she is still coughing bad the doctor still thinks that it is allergies and has her on medicine for that.. So her next chemo will be on March 7..She has the 3 months of this protocol still and then we go to the once every 3 months for the spinal and she said that the Medford doctor said Feb of 2012! So that is way better to hear..So only 1 year left...(she had received the new papers from Portland) So Jess was way happy to hear this. I will confirm this when I go the next time to chemo. So I will let you all know on that.
Rob is still doing the same...Not much can change over there unless there is excitement which I'm glad to say that there isn't! It has been 2 months this weekend so only 4 more left!! :) I try to send him pkgs every 3 weeks so if anyone wants to contribute magazines, snacks or books let me know...or you can send it yourself if you would like to do that. I think that it is important for them to know that friends and family are thinking of them over here..

Morning All!!
Well Jess had the big chemo day yesterday...I really don't know all the little details because I didn't get to go..It was a good thing that Jess got her wires crossed and Jon had the day off to because I ended up with this horrible cough/cold/sore throat and figured that I really couldn't be around chemo patients like this..So I stayed home and just Jon went. She tried to text me when she could and all I basically got that everything went smoothly. When I talk to her today or tomorrow I will get all the little details. She was supposed to talk to the doctor about her still having this horrible cold so hopefully they got something figured out with that. I will let you all know when I find out.
Rob is still doing the same. Not much has changed which is a good thing! lol He said that it warmed up for a little bit over there so that is good. I sent him another package with books and snacks for him to share so hopefully he gets that soon. Well I'm off for now. Please keep them both in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All!!
First of all I would like to thank Kim Otto for the wonderful posts/comments :) They are very uplifting and make me smile when I read them!
Jess of course is still doing the same...The doctors in Medford wanted her to go over for an xray but she didn't want to go all the way over there twice when we have to go over on Monday anyways... So they put her on some allergy medicine hoping that maybe that might be one of the problems but it really hasn't seemed to help any...So we will see what they have to say on Monday when we go over there..
Rob is doing the same. He said that he found a book over there that he really enjoyed reading so he wanted to see if I can find anymore like it to send to him over there. I'm also going to send him so more snacks to go along with them... The authors last name is Johnstone.. Well anyways I'm off for now. Thanks so much for checking in. Please keep the kids in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Evening Everyone!!
Well I ended up calling the doctor today for Jess's cough/cold.. Jess had come to my work today and even my co-workers even mentioned how bad they thought Jess sounded after she left to go back home so that got me worried and I gave the doctor a jingle..I figured that I would tell them what was up and I could leave it in their hands if they thought that we should do something. I told them to also call Jess so that she could tell them her symptoms better...they were asking so many specifics. Well she called me about an hour later and they wanted her to go over to Medford tomorrow for a chest X-ray and then the next day for a doctor visit! I swear that they think we live 15 mins away! So the last that I heard Jess said them that they could set it all up here and then if it was bad we could go over earlier than next Monday when she has chemo/spinal... But I haven't heard anything as of yet so I'm not sure what is going on yet..So I will let you all know what I hear.. Well I'm off for now. Please keep Jess and Rob in your prayers.. Love to all, Cindi
