Evening everyone!
Well we had a long day yesterday with the all day chemo in Medford... Her white count is down so she needs to stay around healthy people and wash her hands lots.. No wonder why her colds never go away..Also, we almost didn't get the spinal done cause her liver is acting up again.. the poor thing never gets a break.. So the doctor who always does her spinals wanted another blood test to make sure and this time it had to come out of her vein and not her port cause it is more accurate for this test...So that made us an hour and a half later then we should be getting home but that is okay as long as we got it all done..but they only ended up giving her half of her IV chemo because of her liver too. It seems like I major jumped around telling this story but I'm super tired so I hope that you all understand.. lol She sure loves this doctor tho and he is always super kind to her and makes sure that everything goes good for her and that the hospital takes care of her so that makes me feel so much better and Jess has a better attitude going in since she knows that Dr Palmer is in there :) So she is super sore today and her back is a little bruised..She is supposed to be not bending over lots and resting..yeah right! lol Now we have this same thing next month too.
Well Rob called and wanted a video chat so I knew that he must of been homesick. It was a good chat and it was nice that Jon and Jess were here to talk to. We were on the phone for an hour and a half! You know it wouldn't be so bad over there if he was on the day shift and be able to do things.. the night shift sucks.. But he only has a little over two months left so it is getting closer..
Well I'm off for now. Please keep Rob and Jess in your prayers. Love to all, Cindi

April 3rd
Morning Everyone!!
Just enjoying a nice Sunday morning :) We had a birthday party last night for Shane, Me, Jon & Jon's Gma Carol. Our birthday's are the 2nd, 8th, 13th & 14th respectively. It was a fun time and I sure like the get together s with everyone!
Tomorrow is a big chemo day with Jess... We have the IV and the spinal chemo again :( We don't have to be over in Medford until 10:30 tho so that is really nice to be able to sleep in a little for me :) But then it will be a later night...
Rob is doing okay...He is sure happy that it is April..He is on the downhill side and he said not soon enough... lol I'm continuing to send him packages every 2-3 weeks to keep him getting stuff from home.
Well I'm off for now. Please keep Rob and Jess in your prayers. Thanks so much for checking in. Love to all, Cindi

Hi All!
Well thank the Lord that Jess's tests came out negative on her chest...I was reading up on it and Lymphoma most of the time starts in the chest area and with a cough so I was so happy to have everything come back normal and them just thinking that her cold is lingering with all the yucky stuff going around and her low resistance. If not our butts would of been up at OHSU! Fun! Her liver levels were low so she is thinking that is whats been causing her nausea lately..they cut down on her Monday chemo tho to compensate. So she will go in again tomorrow to check it. Then next Monday the 4th is her big round of chemo again..I swear every time I think that we are down to once every 3 months they tell us we just aren't there yet.. So I will take her next Monday for her IV and spinal chemo.. It just makes me sick to take her cause I know it hurts so bad..Hopefully one day this will all just be a bad dream..dang it..
I don't have anything new to report for Rob.. Not much is happening over there so this is a good thing.. :) He should be home about June 15th we hope! Just after his 25th birthday :)

Hello All,
Just got back from Medford. Jess still had that horrible cough after this round of medicine so the doctor wanted us to go over for a CT scan of her chest and bunch of blood tests.. Found out so far that her liver is acting up again so they cut her back on her chemo for a round and her scan we won't know about until later today or tomorrow as they had to send it across to the hospital for a reading. Not sure what they are looking for but they said that we might have to go up to OHSU to meet with a pulmonary specialist. I brought up that there was lots of them in Oregon closer but they said no way... With Jess and what she has been through that they would only send her to the best.. So we shall see... It was an early and tiring trip..
Rob is doing good it seems..His hand is healing and he has a good mind set. I know that he is more than ready to come home but he knows that he is a little over half way done so I think that is good for him mentally. I'm going to get him another pkg ready to go since I feel that it is important for him. Well I'm off for now. Please keep Rob & Jess in your prayers and thanks for checking in. Love to all, Cindi
