Thank You!!!!

Yes, we are singing the praises! Our visit to Cleveland was very good. It was probably the best one yet. One of the best parts was that my neurologist said I don't have to come back for 4 months instead of 3. I know that doesn't seem all that exciting but IT IS! He was just very encouraging to us and much more hopeful for me! It was a good day! I don't think anyone could have wiped the smiles off of Mike and I faces! It was good, just really good.

My MRI was first thing in the morning and my MRI is usually no problem for me. Actually I've become so used to them that I about fall asleep. Trust me, it was much harder for me the first few times! They last about 35 minutes and they have to inject me with a dye. For some reason yesterday during my MRI I thought I was going to lose it! I got sick to my stomach and felt like I was going to flip out! I have no idea why this one was such a struggle. I didn't feel well after that for quite a while.

We're glad it's all over! So as of now we don't go back till FEBRUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement!!!! It really means more than I would ever be able to explain!

Love,
Mike, Jess and Luke

Off to Cleveland Clinic

Calling everyone and spread the word!!! Send Mike and Jess a quick little note as they head back to CLV Clinic on the 20th. Encouragment and blessings! Thanks everyone for being so faithful in your prayers for them.

Just Living Life!!!!

As the title of this post says, I'm just living life and LOVING LIVING! Everything has been just fine here. Mike's been busy doing some irrigation and working which anymore we are so grateful to say we HAVE JOBS! Luke started preschool last week and is loving it too! He's a riot as usual. He is an absolute JOY! Oh how we love him!

I talked with Cleveland Clinic recently and I now have my next apt. which is October 2oth. So let the prayer begin! :) I won't be meeting with my usual Oncologist this time because the last time when I was there they asked me if I had any questions and I just expressed my frustration with all the weight gain and they thought maybe a different med would be an option for me. At first I was like "sign me up now!" Since then I don't know about switching. If my weight is my ONLY real issue right now well then I think I'll take it. It's much better than chemo, cancer, etc! So I'm a little bummed about seeing my "Medicine Dr." because I love my Oncologist but that's okay.

I will update after my apt. in October! We have several weddings coming up so they will be a good distraction from my upcoming apt.! I'm feeling a little tense with all the chaos in the next few weeks and I know that the underlying problem is probably some anxiety that I don't want to admit to.

Take care!

Love,
Jess

Good News!

We are finally home after a long day in Cleveland. We got another good report today! The MRI showed that everything is remaining stable with no new growth or changes!!!!! So I will return in October for another MRI as I will continue to go every three months for quite a long time. As usual we had a great experience with our Doctors and all the staff at the clinic.

Thanks for the prayers and continuous support!

All our love this evening,
Jess

Cleveland in the a.m.

Well...... we'll be off to Cleveland in the am tomorrow. My apts. are later than usual so there will probably not be a post to update with the good news till later in the evening.

Thanks for all the prayers!

Love,
Jess and the boys.

All Smiles...

Jessie didn't want to take a picture alone so she called on Janel to get in with her!!

Keep Mike, Luke and Jessie in your prayers, they will head to Cleveland in July.

Just not much of a "Blogger"

Sorry for the lack of "blogging," I'm just such a procrastinator! So YES my last trip to Cleveland was good. We heard the magic words, "STABLE!" My next visit is scheduled for July 29th. I did have a bit of a panic this week when I got my letter for my next apt. and it said it was for June 24th. I was mad! That meant I was going back nearly a month early. I wanted another month before I had to think about it! Three months go by way to quickly so I didn't want to be going back next month already. Thankfully Cleveland got it changed and said it was just an error. Whew!

I feel just fine. I still have issues with being tired but it's getting better all the time.

Luke is awesome. He finished up his first year of preschool this week. They had a graduation celebration, it was ADORABLE! He's loving this warm weather and wants to be outside all day every day! He starts T-Ball next month and I can't wait!

Mike is good too. He's very busy this time of year with Baseball season and getting everyones' sprinkler systems up and running. He's pretty tired and doesn't have much free time right now but he at least he enjoys his work.

Most exciting news: My cousin Lindsay just had her first baby!!! She's a cutie! We're so excited for her and Aaron! I can't wait to hold her again soon!

Well knowing how I am I probably will not update again till after my July 2th apt.

Enjoy your Summer!

Life is Good!

Jess and the boys!
