May 26th

Hi,

Don't know if anyone is reading this anymore but just a quick update...

Jess is still doing the same...she has her good and bad days with the chemo still. Her liver levels have been up and down so they have still been adjusting her chemo levels. Still taking chemo everyday with a extra different kind on Mondays. This Tues in Medford she gets her IV chemo only. She is super excited that she doesn't have the spinal this month! I will be calling the doctor in Portland to set up an appt for July and I'm thinking all the scans will be redone to make sure that everything is going okay still. I think that she looks better all the time though. Her hair is growing good and she has been trimming off all the steroid weight. She still has more to lose but she looks fantastic :)

Rob is a anxious to be home now. He is down to 3 weeks finally. Hopefully he will be back in the states on June 15th. Not sure of the exact day home yet but we are planning a coming home party on the 18th. It is his 25th birthday on the 10th and Pat's 50th on the 19th so we have lots to celebrate! Come on by...Just let me know.

Thanks so much for checking in and please keep them in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

May 11th

Hey Everyone!

Thought about getting on here a few times to do an update and then something would pop up..I swear I have been super busy since we have moved Jess's horses into town. Her place was super muddy and she wanted to get her's ready to show so she took her new horse and her old one into a barn here in town. This way she comes in like every other day to ride when she feels okay..if not I go in and ride or lunge one and then I will work the other.. I can't believe how busy that this has made me...I feel like I have a second job! But she has been having good and bad days like always...especially when she takes her Monday chemo...wow, that one is nasty.. But she had a really good spinal last time so I have to thank everyone for all their prayers and positive energy that they did for her. Our next chemo is May 31st...Jess was upset that it was in the same month but with May having 31 days I think that that is why it has happened... But other than that everything is about the same.. Her hair is getting long so she is super happy about that... She is mad cause it is in the out of control stage that you go through when you are growing your hair long.. lol

Well Rob is counting down the days until he comes home! I think that we are down to 34...He has been having it rough over there mentally so I think that this is good for him that he is almost done... I keep praying for him and sending him positive energy to help him make it. We will have a coming home party so let me know if you would like to help out or come :)

Well I'm off for now. Please keep both the kids in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

May 3rd

Hi All,

Well we made it through the big day of chemo...All went pretty well for a chemo day! I wrote a note that we were headed out on Facebook and I feel like all my prayer warriors did their job cause Jess feels like that was her best spinal yet and before they had been getting worse and worse so hopefully she still feels good in a couple of days..She felt super tired today but with all that she went through that doesn't surprise me.. Her white blood count was up and her liver count was better so it was a pretty good day... the doctor told us that she was watching her liver closely so that it would still be good after all this chemo is over!. So please keep her in your prayers to keep feeling good and keep her healing and keep that damn cancer away..

Rob wrote to me on Facebook this morning and let me know that he really wanted to video chat tonight about 6 our time...he is really having some homesickness so if you could drop him a note on Facebook to let him know that your thinking of him I would really appreciate it! :) He will hopefully be out of there on June 15th so lets keep our fingers crossed for that! Please also pray to give him the strength to finish out the last month and a half and for safe travels home..

Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in. Love to all, Cindi
