Dec 14th

Hi All,

Well yesterday was a super rough day on me...I had Robbie flying out of Delaware on his way to Kyghystan with stops in Germany and Turkey. Jess was doing chemo in Medford with Jon and they ended up having to call Dr K in Portland because Jess's liver levels were even way higher then they have been lately so now they are worried about the doses of chemo she is getting could damage her liver. So he ended up lowering her doses to see if they can get her the levels better and get her feeling better. She isn't feeling well at all and it makes me really scared. She came over for a bit today but ended up not being able to stay for long since she was feeling so yucky... And she never really tells me I think how bad she is really feeling so it always bothers me if she is hiding it from me. So hopefully she starts to get to feeling better soon. I will keep a close on her and let you all know. Hopefully I also here from Robbie soon too. I will feel better once I know that he is settled and doing well. Well I'm off for now. Please keep Jess & Rob in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

this is Jess's wedding picture from Sept 19th of 2009..It is hard to believe that this is just a little over a year ago...So much has happened. She was diagnosed with 8 tumors and a bunch of hot spots (where the cancer was going to start up) just one month after this was taken...Still blows me away... I just love this picture and I wanted to share :)

Hi All,

Well Rob flew out today :( We were all very good and didn't cry at all. I have moments every now and then where I catch myself getting really sad but I just push through it. He will be fine and it will be good for him to get out and see some of the world. He should be in Texas soon and then in Baltimore tonight for the night. Then I think that he flies out Monday night on a military flight. So I will let you all know how that goes. Jess goes to chemo tomorrow. Jon is taking the day off to take her so they will leave around 7:30 in the morn. I'm so happy that she isn't having the spinal. She is so happy to finally have the month off. She only has to have the push IV chemo and of course her extra chemo pills that she takes on Monday night. I'm going to call this week to see about when we need to go up to Portland. Hopefully we just go up there for just a check up and no tests :) I will let you all know about that too. Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking up on the kids. Love to all! Please keep them in your prayers. Cindi

Good Morning!!

Wow, did we have a good turnout for Robbie's party last night! We had about 45 people show up :) We were at Mia's & Pia's Pizzeria here in Klamath.. It started at 6 pm and we finally left at 9:30... Everyone had a lot of pizza, beer, laughs and just an all around good time. It was good to see all my family and friends just telling stories and enjoying themselves. Of course I got no pictures.. lol I was so busy getting more chairs and trying to visit with everyone. So I'm sorry and it bums me out too! We left all the "kids" there (they are not technically kids) lol and they all headed out to the bars. They told me that they went to every one in town. I heard Rob get home around 2:30 am this morn.. Jess is the DD since she can't drink..poor thing. So anyways I'm off for now. I just made breakfast for everyone and I want to visit. It is hard to believe that he is leaving tomorrow. Thanks for checking in and please keep Jess and Rob in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Dec 7th

Hi All,

Just a quick note to let you all know that everything is about the same. She has her ups and downs with this chemo she takes everyday.. She says that it wakes her up now and then at night with some nausea.. but that is why she takes it then cause she hopes to sleep through most of it. She had to take that real nasty stuff last night so that one kinda affects her a little stronger plus that is the one that is really hard on her insides. So today we are going in for her to give blood. She likes to do it after the hard chemo so they can check all of her levels. So that is about it for now. I will let you know if we hear anything on this draw. Please keep her in your prayers and thanks so much for checking in. Love to all, Cindi

Good Morning!

Just a quick note to let you know how Jess is feeling...Feeling better overall but still has a tight feeling in her chest but she feels like it is a lot better than before so that is good to hear... I hope that her liver and potassium levels do better at the next blood draw on Monday.. So that is about it. It is nice to be able to just relax at home today..not much going on. Tomorrow is mine and Pat's 23rd Anniversary but I'm not sure if it will be snowing and we will be able to go out to dinner so we will just play it by ear. I can't believe that Rob is leaving in a week..Went by so fast and it just scares me. I'm feeling a little stressed out about the whole thing. We are having a going away party next Fri on the 10th at Mia's and Pia's here in Klamath at 6pm if anyone would like to drop by and wish him well. Well I'm off for now. Please keep them both in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

December 1st

Hi All,

Well Jess had to go over to Medford today for a checkup...She hasn't been feeling well and I called the doctor yesterday and they wanted her to come over there immediately! They were super worried because she was having breathing problems and tightness in her chest. It ended up being bronchitis and they put her on a antibiotic. Plus, her liver was acting up and her potassium levels were really high. She had me so worried today... She had went up to the Klamath Falls cancer center yesterday to do blood. So that is how they had her blood results today over there. I think that this eased her mind going to today. Everytime that I think that everything is going smooth we hit a road bump...But I have to remember that Dr K up north said that there would be a lot of ups and downs through out this journey..But when it is your child it is so scary. I hate it.. Sometimes I wonder if I can continue being strong..Now I have Robbie leaving in 12 days and I think that maybe they could put me in a funny farm for awhile... lol Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in. Please keep Jess in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi
