Friday the 13th ;)

Good afternoon!

I am in the same location as yesterday :) Earl grey tea with vanilla cinnamon, is very tasty! lol. The doctors appointments were very long, but successful yesterday. We left the apartment around 1230 and didn't leave the doctor's office until 430!! Needless to say that Jess was extremely tired and so were Jon and I. We started in one building, where they drew her blood, and then had to go wait in another to get the results. If you have ever been to OHSU you know it isn't worth leaving and coming back...just to big and crazy! When the doctor (her secondary doctor) finally made it in she said that Jessi's blood results came in strong again and her liver results came back better. We were all really relieved to hear such good results. She said that we still need to be cautious of who and how many people are around, but not as cautious as we eventually will have to be. She is supposed to drink LOTs of fluids to help the chemo flow through. We are also told that we should be taking her temperature often to make sure that her temperature is normal and if it was high it is an indication that something is wrong. If it is above a 100.4 she needs to go to the ER immediately. Her head doctor happened to look in accidentally and when he saw Jess he asked how she was and he looked in her mouth to see the tumor. He was amazed!! He had looked at it on Monday and said that he noticed visible shrinkage!! We are all excited and WE KNOW that it is doing it to all the other cancer in her body. Thank you for all the prayers and positive energy! I know that it is helping her beat this!!!!

Love you all,
