Chemotherapy - Round 2

The past week has been spent up at the hospital again. This was the second round of chemotherapy. This time she knew what she was getting herself into. It wasn't easy, to say the least, but she is surviving the severe nausea and pain.

Today the doctors told her she was allowed to go home. So this evening, my dad packed her up and took her home. She is incredibly sick still, but glad to be home and sleeping in her own bed.

On July 5th, she will begin radiation and chemo treatments. On day number 9 of this treatment, she will have the bone marrow transplant. Any prayers and/or fasting would be greatly appreciated in preparation for this approaching day!

We really appreciate everyone's love and support right now via phone calls, but it's been overwhelming. Paul and Julie have asked that all friends and family refrain from calling them for the time being. Email messages, Facebook posts, or comments on this blog are welcome and appreciated. They may not respond, but they definitely read them. If you need an immediate response, please email or call me (Jessica) or my sister, Courtney. We will contact our parents and get back to you. During the Hat Party Open House, we handed out little cards with the blog address on it and it also had our phone numbers and email addresses. Feel free to contact us. Please let me know if you need our contact info emailed to you.

Thank you for all your faith and prayers!
