Hello Everyone,

Wow! How time flies! It seems like we just finished Jackson's 5th cycle, and now, this week he will begin his 6th and final dose of chemo! YAY!!! We head up to UCSF for another MRI on Thursday, then a hearing test and chemo on Friday. We will be in SF for a week. Hopefully chemo goes a little smoother than last time for Jacks sake. Please help us pray for Jackson's MRI to come back clear from cancer and no more radiation injury. We don't want it to progress any further. Warren will be joining us this time for Jackson's last dose. I told Warren that he gets pee patrol when he is there. They give Jack lots of hydration during chemo and they monitor all of his urine output for volume and also blood because the chemo can damage the bladder. So needless to say, I have nicknamed myself the "Urinal Jockey" for three days a month! Warren will be the urinal jockey for a couple of days!

I would like to update everyone on our friends TJ and Sophia. TJ is out of the hospital and is doing well. His parents and oncologists have decided to stop the high dose chemo that has made him so sick recently. They have decided to put him on a low dose at home type of chemo that he takes five days a month. Sophia had a wonderful result on her MRI. It came back completely clear. There had been a "spot" on the previous MRI that the doctors couldn't identify completely, but they did think that it was surgery related. Well, that "spot" is gone!

We are so grateful for every one's support and prayers for Jackson and also our friends that are fighting their own battles too. Please continue to pray for clean scans, good health, and minimal side effects for these children. The love, support, and prayers that we have received has helped our family in so many ways. We are truly blessed.

Jenise
