Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to drop a few lines and tell you how the kids are doing... Jess has been having her up and down days...Liver is just always on the verge of acting up.. So her dosage of chemo on Monday has been reduced some. She has been having some nausea and back pain from the spinals... and guess what? We have another big round of chemo this coming Monday :( So we have IV chemo and spinal one this coming Monday...Im really lost on the count of spinals..I know that it is in the high 20's! Im sure that she will then have June off of the spinal and then back to one in July and that month we have to go up to Portland for all the yearly scans I do believe...So I will let you all know how that is going..
Rob is very eager to come home. About a month and a half left!! yay!! :) I have another package to send him this weekend..I was going to send it last weekend but friends of ours (Irvin & Karen) sent him one and so did the base so that was super nice of them! He really appreciated the snacks, books and letters :) Well I'm off for now. Thanks so much for checking in. Please keep them both in your prayers! Love to all! Cindi

Hi Everyone!
Don't know if anyone is reading this anymore but I decided to pop on here and have a little update...
Jess has been feeling a lil down and out..the weather up here has been horrible so I'm not sure if she just needs to get out and get some fresh air or the chemo is bothering her more than normal... I try to talk to her but she is super quiet so I don't know what to do... Ive been riding horses with her a lot now inside so I'm hoping that that will help :) She has still been doing the same chemo everyday and Monday.. We now have our big round again on May 2nd in Medford.. Her back has sure been bothering her lately so I'm really dreading this..thank goodness she has been having her very fav doctor do them so I feel that this really helps her mentally.
Rob has been doing the same..really anxious to get back home.. I keep sending packages for some moral booster :) He is now under 2 months!! He will be home right after his 25th birthday on June 10th!
Well I'm off for now..please keep them both in your prayers and send positive thoughts to Jess please :) <3 Thanks for checking in! Love to all, Cindi

Evening everyone!
Well the last week has kinda been a long one... Jess's back really hurt her and her stomach just kinda felt nauseous a lot.. I don't know how in the heck she is going to do about 5-6 more spinals...The poor thing can hardly walk around as it is... and then We have another at the beginning of May! She had her blood taken yesterday to check for the Monday chemo.. The didn't get back with her until tonight because we found out today that Dr Taylor was out of the office until today.. She only gets to take 30 mg since her liver levels are still running high... So she will take that and usually by Thurs or Friday she will be feeling a bit under the weather... So other than that everything is about the same with her... Rob is still the same too..Not much happening over there and that is a good thing! lol Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in. Please keep them both in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Evening everyone!
Well we had a long day yesterday with the all day chemo in Medford... Her white count is down so she needs to stay around healthy people and wash her hands lots.. No wonder why her colds never go away..Also, we almost didn't get the spinal done cause her liver is acting up again.. the poor thing never gets a break.. So the doctor who always does her spinals wanted another blood test to make sure and this time it had to come out of her vein and not her port cause it is more accurate for this test...So that made us an hour and a half later then we should be getting home but that is okay as long as we got it all done..but they only ended up giving her half of her IV chemo because of her liver too. It seems like I major jumped around telling this story but I'm super tired so I hope that you all understand.. lol She sure loves this doctor tho and he is always super kind to her and makes sure that everything goes good for her and that the hospital takes care of her so that makes me feel so much better and Jess has a better attitude going in since she knows that Dr Palmer is in there :) So she is super sore today and her back is a little bruised..She is supposed to be not bending over lots and resting..yeah right! lol Now we have this same thing next month too.
Well Rob called and wanted a video chat so I knew that he must of been homesick. It was a good chat and it was nice that Jon and Jess were here to talk to. We were on the phone for an hour and a half! You know it wouldn't be so bad over there if he was on the day shift and be able to do things.. the night shift sucks.. But he only has a little over two months left so it is getting closer..

Morning Everyone!!
Just enjoying a nice Sunday morning :) We had a birthday party last night for Shane, Me, Jon & Jon's Gma Carol. Our birthday's are the 2nd, 8th, 13th & 14th respectively. It was a fun time and I sure like the get together s with everyone!
Tomorrow is a big chemo day with Jess... We have the IV and the spinal chemo again :( We don't have to be over in Medford until 10:30 tho so that is really nice to be able to sleep in a little for me :) But then it will be a later night...
Rob is doing okay...He is sure happy that it is April..He is on the downhill side and he said not soon enough... lol I'm continuing to send him packages every 2-3 weeks to keep him getting stuff from home.
Well I'm off for now. Please keep Rob and Jess in your prayers. Thanks so much for checking in. Love to all, Cindi
