Hi All!! ^^^^Picture of me (Cindi) and Shane my youngest at Christmas^^^^
I'm just going to put random pictures up here of the family. Keeps it interesting :)
Well Jess is still sick...Not even over the counter meds help at all with her cold symptoms.. hmmmm... So idk.. She is also on an antibiotic so hopefully that that will help. Other than that everything is the same. So I will let you know if anything changes.
Rob called and everything seems to be going good there too so I have nothing new to report on him either.. lol
Shane is getting better from his wisdom teeth being pulled. He is sure swelled up like a chipmunk with nuts tho.. He is sick of eating soft, mushy food but what can you do? We will ice it tonight and see if that helps. I'm glad that it is done and over with tho. Well thanks a bunch for checking in. Please keep my children in your prayers and send positive energy their way :) Love to all, Cindi

Good Evening All!
It is a horrible, rain/snowy, windy, cold night out right now...I guess that winter has officially come. Well Jess is still feeling yukky. Liver results were better tho so that is really good. She just has this cough/cold that seems to be lingering. It is keeping her up at night to she thinks, cause a lot of the time the chemo can do that but she likes to take it at night because it upsets her stomach and this way she can sleep through a lot of it. But the doctor called in a prescription today so we will get that tomorrow, so hopefully that will clear it up and then she has chemo next Mon the 10th over in Medford so we can see how all her levels are then. I'm taking her to that and Jon will do the Portland trip this round. So that is about it for now...
Robbie seems to be doing better over there..You know how when you are super tired and then things aren't going right?? It can be very overwhelming. So I think that he is finally getting everything organized. I sent him two boxes of all kinds of stuff from the school and FFA. Plus I through in a few of his personal items that he needed and don't sell over there. He said that it will take 10-15 days to get over there. So if anyone wants to send anything over there to the troops let me know..I told Robbie that he was the distributor :)
Shane had his six wisdom teeth pulled out today. The doctor said that it went good but the places where there were two teeth are kinda big and have been hurting him today. We have been changing the gauze all day and keeping him on the pain meds. Plus I'm trying to keep soft food in his belly to keep him from getting nauseated. Well I'm off for now. Please keep my kids in your prayers and thoughts! Thanks so much for checking up on them. Love to all, Cindi

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Evening all! I hope that everyone had a very blessed Christmas! We had a really good day with the family even tho Robbie not being here sure made a hole.. :( Holidays are hard. He called yesterday for his Christmas and then this morning for ours..He is so sweet.. It makes me sad him not being here and I just wanted to hug him so bad.. He said that he is doing okay over there. If they would just keep him busy it would be so much easier for him.
Jess is still having it pretty rough. I think that her body is just tired of it all. Doctor said that they are going to call the main doctor in Portland to probably tone down this chemo.. It is just to much for her body to handle and I can sure tell it with how exhausted she is all of the time and just the look on her face. She goes in Monday morning for her blood draw so we will see how it is then. Then on the 10th it is IV chemo plus spinal chemo again :( Then on the 13th it is up to Portland for a blood draw and checkup. So hopefully everything starts getting a little easier for the two of my kids..
You all will probably get a kick out of this...We went in on Thurs for Shane to get his wisdom teeth checked and guess what? He has 6 that need to come out.. the oral surgeon was so surprised to see this and so were we..I asked Shane if he just wanted to join up with his siblings.. No wonder I have to get my hair colored all of the time.. lol Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in and please keep them in your prayers and send some positive energy. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All,
Well Jess did her blood on Tues and the Cancer Center called from Medford to let her know that her liver levels were bad again and they didn't want her to take her other Monday chemo pill..Welllll she has been taking it on Monday always and then doing her blood on Tues so that they can see the results of the pill and she has been doing this for awhile. When they called they were like don't take your pill tonight..? She had already taken it and we told them that she was doing it this way. So they got all excited and now she has to be sure to go in on Monday morning to get her blood drawn and checked before she takes that awful pill that night. Also, I called Portland to make the trip up there next month and yay..no scans!! yippee So we just have to go up like Weds night and do blood work and doctor visit on Thurs and then come home on Fri..This will be in January and I'm not sure yet if I'm taking her or Jon..Jess has to get back with me on that. Jon is taking her on the 10th to the next chemo/spinal appt. :( It seems like they come up fast.
Well Rob called me again tonight..I was happy to hear from him. He said that it is super cold there and it snowed about 5". He has requested to work on the day shift so that he can do more. He is to bored at night and he wants to learn more. I'm proud of him for going to his chief and asking. They told them that they are waiting for more guys to come in and then hopefully he can be moved, so please pray for that. It would make him so happy to do that. I'm going to post a picture that he had taken today with the New England Patriots Cheerleaders that are there visiting and putting on shows. We of course had to make fun of him.."way to work Rob" lol Well I'm off for now. I hope that everyone has a good evening. Thanks for checking in. Please keep Jess and Rob in your prayers.

I changed this blog to Jess and Rob's Life Journey because I really couldn't think of what else to call it and since I talk about the both of them so much I decided to change the name...so I just wanted you all to know :) If your still reading then thanks so much! Jess just let me know that we are going up to get her blood drawn tomorrow to see how her liver levels are doing now with the reduced dosage of chemo. So I will let you all know how that goes..and I have 3 pkgs that they Bonanza FFA and Bonanza School got together to mail to the troops so I'm going to be mailing those to Rob to distribute over there..won't he be happy? lol Please keep them both in your prayers.. Love to all, Cindi

Evening everyone!
Well it has been snowing here for the past couple of days... It is just starting again tonight and it is about 32 degrees outside. Brrr... lol It is good we need it and maybe Pat will get some extra hours :) Well Jess is finally feeling better it seems..I hadn't seen her since Weds but they dropped in today after they went Christmas shopping and she seemed upbeat so that is always good to see. I'm going to call Portland this week and see what they want to do. Is it just a checkup visit? or does he want scans again? I will let you all know what I find out. Rob called me tonight so I was super excited to hear his voice. He hasn't gotten used to the time change and all the traveling yet so he is still pretty exhausted. He is working 6pm to 6am six days a week! What a schedule. He said that his room is like a cell. Very small, narrow and dark. Fun! Good thing that we sent him with a laptop..he said that that makes it really nice. He doesn't have to go to the common room to find a computer. He said that the Kyrgyzstan people brought their stuff to sell on Fri and it looked like they had some pretty cool stuff that they made and just overall stuff to sell. But he was just to tired to look much. They said that they will be back next Fri so he will hopefully check it out more. Well I'm off for now. If anyone wants Robbie's address to send him letters or packages let me know. I also put the address on Facebook too. Please keep them both in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

Hi Everyone!!
On my last post I wrote that Robbie was in Delaware for I have no idea reason.. lol He was in Baltimore.. Sooo.. :) He also called me this morning! He said that as of right now he is very overwhelmed with it all but I'm hoping that it will get better.. It is all so new and he is very tired from all the traveling and then he worked 12 hours right after they arrived.. So I'm hoping that once he gets his schedule all worked out and he gets used to the time change that it will get better.
Jess is still feeling yukky. Between her liver levels and her trying to catch a head cold she is feeling pretty puny. I asked her if we should call the doc today but of course she said no. I'm off for 2 weeks after tomorrow for Christmas break so I will be able to keep an eye on her and evaluate it myself. She likes to shrug everything off. So I'm off for now. Thanks so much for checking in on one or both of my kids. I decided to write about both so I hope that is okay for everyone reading. Please keep them in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi
