People always ask what they can do for us. We do appreciate your prayers and service in our behalf. We'd also like to ask you to leave comments on the blog or directly in our email sometimes. Just a little note so that we know that you've been here and know what's going on. For Jon & I it is these little reassurances that we are not in this alone that mean the world.

Neglected Blog

Isn't it wonderful that this blog has been so neglected. We haven't been swimming in cancer drama- just daily family drama. We are so happy that Jacob is off treatment (no more chemo) and that his scans are clear. He returns to the clinic monthly to get his port flushed. He has scans again in May and when those scans come back clear we will go ahead and have his port removed.

Jacob has returned to public school and is enjoying being surrounded by friends. He's only behind in his cursive handwriting. When we were in Utah he went swimming again. Several weeks ago I took him to the beach to play. We aren't going to return him to sports too soon. Jacob grew two inches and 2 shoe sizes in the last 7 months. He does have some after effects from the chemo, but he is also a bit awkward and uncoordinated :)

His hair is wavy and filling in nicely. His eye lashes are almost as long as before. He said goodbye to his counselor, Liz and he seems to be able to manage his emotions better when prompted. He probably ought to continue with some physical therapy, but it keeps getting squeezed out of our weekly schedule.
