Hi to all! My sister and I made a quick visit to Jess this morning before we headed to Bend. I am going to go down to Shane's Senior Recognition Night for football in Bonanza. Although, I am going to turn around and come back to Portland first thing in the morning because Jess is starting another round of chemo. She is going to get two different kinds as well as the spinal one (lumbar). The spinal one is the chemo that made her really sick last time, this time it is slightly different so they are hoping it doesn't have the same effect. It pushes the chemo up into her head and brain and so she is feeling a little overwhelmed. It will be nice to go and support Shane (especially since it is his senior year) and Jess wanted me to, but she said come right back, lol. The nurse practitioner came in this morning and said that they were keeping an eye on her liver. It seems to be getting a little stressed from all the chemo and it also has a tumor on it that I wasn't aware of...I seem to be on a need to know basis, lol. I wasn't in the room when the initial results were told, so I missed that piece of information somehow. Jess says that they said keep doing what she is doing and they will keep an eye on it. Keep up the prayers, she will need lots tomorrow for her long day!!! Thank you for all the support.
