OUCH

Today was a hard day. We had to go in for the bone marrow test. And all the morphine and other meds they gave him didnt make one bit of difference. He was awake and screaming and crying the whole time. Man this is so hard to see your baby laying there reaching out and crying for you and there is nothing you can do.
But the good news is that he is down to 1%Leukemia so we are going forward with round 3 as planned starting Wed.

His school teacher also came by last night and loaded us up with homework so we will be doing that as well to keep him on track for 4th grade..

Thanks again to everyone for all you do

Great Day

Yesterday was a great day having Jason home. We watched movies, played games. My mom and newphews came over and he had some friends over last night while his dad Shawn and brother Austin were at football practice. It felt like a normal life again. Which is where we are headed.

Gonna try for another good day today. Maybe get out to spend some of his gift cards everyone has gotten him.

HOME

I wanted to thank everyone for coming out to the First Annual Golf Tournament for Jason. It was a huge success. We raised about 1/3 of what his medical bills will be. We had a great time. Channel 3 News broadcasted the weather live from there and we were able to get Jason to call into the show and be on TV.


Yesterday we came home. We go back in on Friday for bone marrow testing at the clinic then we dont have to check back in for round 3 until Aug 20th.
It was so nice to see him this morning when i woke up.

Dont ever take your children for granted. They are the most precious things in life.

What a difference a day makes

Jason is doing alot better from Tuesday. I stayed with him last night so his dad could go and see the Cardinals pre season game. He was tired most of the day cause he was getting blood. Then all his counsins came out to visit and he woke up. He finally ate a little bit and watched some TV.

Today his counts are at 60 and 45% monocytes. That means his is on his way back to recovery.
Nothing has grown so no infections for fungus.

We should be home by early next week. Then on the 13th he has a bone barrow test.
They have him scheduled to come back on the 20th for round 3.

He unfortunatly wont be home for the golf tournament tomorrow but we will have his pictures posted at every hole and on TV.

WE LOVE YOU JASON!!!!

Getting better

I went and saw Jason last night and he didnt look good. He was in pain and upset to his stomach. I was so sad all i wanted to do was cry. But i talked to him this morning and he sounds alot better. I wil be staying with him again tonight.

We dont have the results of the blood cultures yet but the doctors are pretty sure he has an infection of some sort. Please pray it is nothing and it will pass.

Thanks again to everyone for the help with the golf tournament this weekend. We are totally full and even added more that were open. That is over 145 people.

Our friends and family have really come through for Jason. I appreciate it all.
If you notice there is another posting from Nadine Greathouse. She is running in the PF Changs race to help find a cure. The proceeds will go to help all children not just Jason. I know we have been getting donations for Jason but please keep in mind there are alot of sick kids out there that still need the love and hope of finding a cure someday.

Fevers, sickness

Well Brian stayed with Jason last night and he came down with another fever and is throwing up this morning. The fever is only 101.5 so not that bad right now. Everyone pray that it goes down and doesnt get worse.

I was with him yesterday and he was doing great. I finally beat him at monopoly. YEAH!!!!

But today is another day and we will make it.

UGH!!!!

Well Jason is doing good. He is staying happy and we play monopoly all the time. For some reason i can never win.

We are excited about the golf tournament this weekend. We have all the slots full.
Thanks everyone for all your support.

But on a another note. We got broken into on Thursday at home and they cleaned us out. They took TV's, XB0X, PS3, PS2, all the games, and even my brand new vaccum. And many more items. I am gonna crack if anything else happens to us.

Austin started school today. He is in 6th grade. I was sad that Jason wasnt able to go and started to cry.
