October 28th

As many of you may know. Jessi is up at OHSU (Oregon Health Sciences University, in Portland Oregon) Jessi has yet to begin treatment. They were testing her heart for its strength and her blood flow to make sure that the chemotherapy will run through her blood stream properly. She also had a very painful experience today; they took out her bone marrow and also did a spinal tap. She was in a lot of pain, but has been very brave throughout the entire experience.
The hospital is very accommodating; they let her wear her own clothes and allow her to have a computer in her room. She has a great view and they are letting both her mother and husband sleep in the room at night. They are also very strict on allowing people in the cancer unit. They will not allow anyone in with a cough, headache, sore throat, stuffy nose, etc. If she is feeling up for it, she is allowed to have as many healthy visitors as she would like though.
We will keep you posted on results, tests, and treatment as it becomes available.

Thank you and God Bless,

Laura
