Update….

Mar 29

For the past three weeks we have been bringing Jade into the clinic every 4 days to check her counts to start the next round of chemo. Unfortunately they (her counts) have not been cooperating with us! We are going to try again tomorrow (3/30). When we didn’t make the first scheduled start date we asked her doctor what this means. He said that he wasn’t too worried about it because we weren’t that far behind schedule and we should start to get concerned once we hit weeks 3 to 4 past the original start date. Tomorrow we hit the three week mark…we are crossing our fingers that her counts are high enough to start this round of chemo!!! If her counts aren’t high enough then we will be scheduling a bone marrow extraction to do testing because at this point it could be a sign that she is relapsing. :( As of last month when she had her last bone marrow extraction she was still in remission, but the doctors said that could change at any time.

Miss Jadey is trying to keep busy. She has been spending lots of time with her dog Tazzy. She really misses her teachers and her friends back at John B. Dey! She has been counting down the days until she can go back to school. Jade has also expanded her nail salon into a full service salon…she started shaving peoples heads so that they can be bald and beautiful like her! ;) I will add pictures soon!

  1. You looked very good at Doug’s birthday party. Mike enjoyed the glass medley you played.
    Keep up the good outlook. Everyone was so happy to see you.

    Quick update… don’t know when Linden will get around to another ;)

    No Leukemia cells were found, which is great news. They’re going to take her off one of her meds for a week just to see if that’s what’s keeping her counts low.

    Hello Jade! Scott and I are in Starkville Mississippi visiting Allie for the weekend. I am sorry we will not be hosting the Easter egg hunt this year but we thought it was important to see Allie as we miss her. I hope you have a great Easter weekend. The weather is supposed to be delightful. Allie was *surprised!* to see Scott’s hair — rather lack of hair! She thought he looked very different and it is much longer now than it was when you shaved it. Her facial expression was hilarious. We hope to see you and Hailey very soon. Take care. Love, Patty and Scott
