This is a picture of Jed, Hayley, Ashlyn and Olivia in the playroom at Hershey Med. when they came to visit Saturday. They had a good time, and it really helped Jed.
Right now Jed is at Jase's birthday dinner with Jim and Grace. He slept until about 11. He was not a happy camper when he woke up but the grumpies seemed to fade away as he worked on his homework. He has school tomorrow morning.
Just another day here.
My tomatoes and peppers are really growing. I used some today a sauce....YUmmy...yay me! I am not known for my cooking!
Savannah and I just got back from a walk. On Monday I took Danny and the dog on my walk. Dan was bound and determined to keep up and look macho. The dog was dragging when we got home. Dan did well but this morning he made a comment about his legs being really stiff!!!
Jed just walked in...talking up a storm..he brought me a chocolate peanut butter cupcake...yum. I ate it in 2 seconds! Thanks Megan.
I guess that's all for now. I don't have anything witty to say...oh well.
Love J & K

Hey all. We are home. Jed did well. I seem to have a problem when I try to post from my phone...oh well. He slept through his chemo, that's about the best way to do it I guess. I just have to wake him up to pee! He's like a camel though, he can get bags of fluid and still not have to go. Weird kid. This was our last all day chemo in this round. Next week is a spinal tap. We are getting down to the last 10 week round....I don't want to talk about that though. I am afraid I will jinx it. I wish we could just keep giving him a little tiny bit of chemo...forever. Finishing treatment is the scariest part..at least for me! I know Jed does not feel that way.
Danny was to go to Colorado in August for a rally to work. When he got picked they said he had to give them an answer the next day. I went on line and used my FF miles to book a ticket for me to join him 3 days out of the week he would be there. Now work has decided that because that is a week our plant is shut down it would not be fair for Danny to be working.............nice of them to decide that after making a big deal about needing an answer the next day. So now I have to pay $150. redeposit my miles. Oh well. I think we might all go stay at my uncles place on chincateague island. Maybe. Of course to add a little bit more stress and need for planning to our lives, the day the layover starts is the day I am to go back to work for 2 weeks. The layoff is 2 weeks. Yup really, all the time I am off and when I have to return they just happen to schedule; a 2week shut down! I am trying to find out when I am to go back now!
Sarah from Garage Girls sent me this link to the video from the biker makeover. It was such a fun day and these girls are so WAY cool.

Dominos is here....I cooked all day....:)
I guess that's all the news from our very exciting lives!
Thanks for all the good thoughts
Love Jed and Kristin

I wanted to say thanks to everyone that came up to see us last week. The Althoff gang came on Saturday and really helped us kill that dead time between them telling us we can leave and them actually giving us our papers! Jed always has a great time with them.
Today is a hang out day...tomorrow back to Hershey for chemo.

Hey. Jed is feeling good. He went to his little brother's birthday party today for a few hours. He is still a little worn out but all in all he is light years better than a few days ago. The speed with which we go from high to low to high...good god. I can handle the lack of sleep but all the up and downs are what is so exhausting. Danny and I took a short motorcycle ride and ate some Mexican food. I feel better now but it is time for bed. Thanks again for all the support and happy thoughts.
Love Jed and Kristin

We are home. Thanks for all the good vibes sent our way. That gets us through. Love J & K

King Jed..confiscated my laptop.
Howdy folks. SOOO, here's the news....there is no bone involvement (my big worry), no bad teeth, no abscess. It is just a small soft tissue infection that is taking a long time to heal because his counts were so low. Big sigh. I could almost pass out from relief. The plan now is, they will check his counts in the morn (they didn't do them today), and he is working on weaning himself off the iv pain meds. If all looks good tomorrow, the swelling on his jaw is down and the pain is controlled we can get out on Saturday!!! YAY! Thanks for all the well wishes and good vibes...always works.
I'll let ya'll know what's happening.
Love Jed and Kristin
ok an addendum to this post: the attending Dr just came in. He said the same thing the resident told me but when I said I was so relieved it was not a relapse he came over to quietly talk to me while his sidekick Dr. talked to Jed to distract him. The dr said to me " anything like this can be a relapse that is not detectable yet, you might want to mention to Jed that that is always a concern but as of now that's not what's happening". So now, I still feel relieved but no as euphoric. They are checking his counts now, if he has enough neutraphils they are going to give him a sronger antibiotic that is more narrow to really get rid of whatever infection is in there. His thought is that the broad spectrum ones he is on right now are just keeping the infection in check but not really getting rid of it. so, still YAY but also a little of oh F'...
Still waiting for MRI results....so my thought is the results are no big deal, that's why they are not hurrying in here to tell me...right?
I'll keep ya posted. We just got back from bingo...I love when they play with Hershey kisses, by the time the games are over my kid is playing with wrappers because some crazy lady eats all the kisses...oh, that's me. He won 3 different things of bionicles...that will keep him busy.
news when I get it

Hi All. so let see, here's what we did today. He was awake and ate a lot of lunch. He took my laptop so he could show Denise and his nurse which Harley's was going to buy and which ones he didn't like. Later we walked down to the desk so he could borrow a video game and he played for a few hours. Danny got here about 3:30 and played with him. We finally went down for his mri at 5pm. When we got to the mri room Jed was very brave, got on the table. No complaining, it is hard for him to lie flat with the needle in his port but he did it. Everything was ok until they put this big HEAVY plastic thing on his chest....on the needle in his port. Not only did it really hurt it was heavy. He stared to get very upset. She tried putting a towel under the thing but it was still sitting on his needle. That's when he decided..no way, not doing it. Of course as soon as his anxiety starts to rise the pain gets bad..and he was unhooked from his morphine. Jed was not a happy guy. I had her call our nurse to come down with a nice dose of ativan and morphine. I made little walls with wash cloths to hold the plastic thing up off his needle. After a few goofy remarks about how high the table was and how he could fly from it he passed out! That was about 6pm...he is still sleeping now. We got back here a little after 8.. When we will see results..couldn't guess. Fingers crossed for something minor that has an easy fix. We want to go home. Very depressing up here and if we stay he has to have the needle in his chest taken out and replaced tomorrow...........nightmare, I am nauseous thinking about it.
I'll let ya'll know when we get results.
Love J & K
P.S. Jed thinks it's really cool that he is getting well wishes from girls that build motorcycles! I told him "Hey I mount tires"....he said that doesn't count! oh well!
Speaking of which, here is the link to the garage girls makeover stuff. I can't say too many times how fun that was

Welp, not too much to report here. The excitement for the day was the kid that puked in the hallway...not a cancer kid, a sibling. Gross and stinky not to mention that if that kid has a bug of some sort she just puked in a hallway full of kids with no immune system. OH the fun never ends.
Dad was here today, brought donuts and coke.....food of the gods. He hung out so I could shower, I am much nicer when my head is not itchy from dirty hair. Jed is awake right now..of course the Simpsons are on. We watched Family guy and futurerama until about 3am this morning. The only prob with that is Jed then sleeps all day but I am up before 6. His jaw still hurts. Of course I waited & waited for the Dr and when I went down to meet the pizza delivery guy the Dr showed up. Jed said the guy examined him and said "HHmm, we are not sure what is causing the pain and swelling " then he left. This is a new dr on our team. He has over 15 yrs ped oncology experience but dude and I might have to have a chat. I might have to explain that HIS job is to find out WHY there is pain and swelling. The swelling is not worse but it is not better either and after 2 antibiotics and an antiviral for the last few days it should be improving. I mentioned earlier that his white count is .3 and the rest of his counts are rising. He is getting GCSF, a drug that boosts your counts,,,Dr. Frieburg calls them fake counts. The point is to give him some sort of immune system to help his marrow start to make it's own blood. It is so depressing up here. There are quite a few very sick kids. I spoke to Angelina's mom, Tammy today. She said they are starting a new drug on Thursday. I have read about it and it sometimes puts chemo resistant kids into remission...so cross your fingers there is about a 10% chance it will work. The main prob with this drug is that it damages your lungs and Angelina is not over her bout with pneumonia. It comes right down to the basic question all the parents up here face. Your kid has cancer, here is the treatment, the treatment can kill them but without it they will die of cancer. If you have a child that continues to relapse then you have to continually revisit that question. We are not going there. That is not a group I want to be a member of.
ok, enough of that...Jed ate a personal pan pizza for dinner. (me too, just couldn't help myself). The pizza hut near here delivers to the hospital I just have to go to the main entrance to get it.
He is a little restless and the pain is back tonight. He has a PCA but it is not covering the pain tonight. If he can't relax soon I will ask them to up his dose.
I am almost finished with book #5 since Thursday. Thank goodness for ebooks. I wish I was doing something, I didn't bring any knitting.. I read, and look a bike parts on line, then I read some more and then look at knitting patterns! In my head I am making my bike awesome and knitting cool stuff. In reality I am sitting on my A#$.
Well this was a long post, with no new news in it!
Jed just changed all the wheels on these little skateboards that he got in his goodie bag. He has changed them 3 times now!
Ok that's all,
Love J & K
White count is .3 wooooohoooo goin' up people, we are goin' UP

Jed and his goodies

The rockin', way cool Garage-Girls and the people at Carlisle got Jed all kinds of goodies from the vendors at Bikefest. Here he is with all his stuff. He is awake and we took a short walk down the hall today. and his white count has JUMPED from .1 to .2...oh yeah

As of right now no fever. His white count is still hanging at .1 though. Damn thing. He got some benadryl this morn and is getting the crap that makes him itchy right now. It's good he's asleep because i can see the side of his neck and behind his ear are red and look hot. So if he was awake I'm sure he would be freaking out and scratching. Once Jed gets wound up about something everything can spin out of control. The best thing for him...and others is to keep him calm.
The little girl across the hall has more leukemia cells,,,another relapse in her marrow. cancer sucks
Love J & K

Sunday, July 19, 2009

he had a lovely itchy reaction to BOTH new meds!!!!! SOOOO, lots of benadryl. needless to say he was not too thrilled. He did rally enough to eat a donut..boston cream..his fav, thanks mommo
love J & K
Hi ya. so the latest is..they added an antibiotic because the cefepime doesn't seem to be doing anything. They also added an anti-viral med just in case the sore in his mouth is herpes..no not that kind. Evidently it is a common thing with immune suppressed kids. They swabbed the sore and if it's negative they will stop that med. The other antibiotic that they added is vancomycin. He hasn't had that drug in awhile so I forgot that instead of an hour they have to run it very slow...2hrs or more because he gets red and itchy. Of course he got red and itchy. go me...I completely forgot. Sorry dude. He got benadryl and seems to be better. He is just staring at the tv with glazed eyes. His jaw is still swollen. They can't figure out why. It's not a tooth prob, but there is an infection in there somewhere, hopefully the new antibiotic will seek and destroy. Having no white count doesn't help the cause. They did start GCSF yesterday so the labs they draw tomorrow should be heading up. Fingers crossed.
I have read 3 books since Thurs night and am 1/3 rd of the way through my 4th. I don't sleep here too much because I am afraid I won't wake up if something important happens. Today after Danny left I fell asleep, in my book, for only about 5 mins and when I woke up I stared at Jed, I swear he was not breathing. I said "jed, Jed, JED.." and he said "geeze what do you want? you really freaked me out. I'm not dead." Later when I was talking to Danny on the phone Jed says "don't forget to tell him you thought I was dead" ....nice.
The little girl across the hall is back from the PICU. They took her there Friday eve. I think I told you about her, she has relapsed twice in the last 2 months. They are trying to get her into remission long enough to do a transplant but now she has a very bad type of pneumonia. But, she is back here so she must be fighting pretty hard. Our issues are minor compared to most of the kids up here, I am not making light of Jed's pain or suffering but it puts it all into perspective.
cancer sucks
Did I mention that we are watching cartoon network....that is ALL we watch. I have seen every episode of every show on this channel! I had to listen to CNN in my car on the way to pick up my bike yesterday to make sure nothing important happened. Nothing did. Well Cronkite died but he was old.
I guess that's all. No fever since 10am this morning.
Love Jed and Kristin
Well....really bad word.... he had a fever of 102.2 at 1am. Why, we have no clue, completely random. He got some tylenol and it has not spiked since. Fingers crossed. His white count hasn't moved from .1 yet. Yesterday he got GCSF....a drug to bring up his counts. Hopefully it will kick in today. So just waiting...He is sleeping. But was not a happy camper when he took his tylenol at 1:15 this morn. He was ticked off that he had a fever.
That's all for now.
Love j & K

Saturday, July 18, 2009

Hey all, just a quickie tonight,,,,,,um, anyway. Jed is doing pretty good. He was with mom all day today so I could go to Carlisle to get all my biker chick makeover stuff. The day was fantastic. When i get the pics edited I will put them up. There is to be some video on youtube soon and I will link to that as well. Jed is sleeping now. Grace and Jim were up today, that is a great distraction for him. I guess I better quit now, I am nodding off as I type! More later....
home soon???I hope

Sooo, here's the latest. Jed got some blood last night and is getting an antibiotic...did I say this before? I get confused as to where i wrote this before, email, FB or here!. Anyway his fever is hanging around 100.4 or so his white count is .1. Since getting more blood his hgb has gone from 7.5 to 8.5...we'll take that. They are on the fence as to more blood or not...I say yes, they say wait. He is still having bone pain and getting morphine every 2 hours. That pain we think is from the drug he got on Tuesday. It should calm down soon..we hope. So we do what we do best....hang out and wait. His white count has to rise and the fever has to be gone and the pain easier to manage, then they will discuss springing us. The thing with Jed is that it could be tomorrow or it could be a week we just never know. That's all for now. I have an Internet connection in the room..thank god. I already read the book I brought so I downloaded a new one! I'm sure I'll need another soon.
Love J & K

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Well here we are...back in Hershey Med. He has a fever, needs more blood and is having some pain. So we are in bat cave 7262.he is getting an antibiotic and pain meds and will get blood sometime between now and tomorrow morning. I was feeling bitchy and a little pissed off but across the hall is a girl that is 9, she relapsed the 1st time in the middle of her 1st round of treatment. Since march she has relapsed 2 more times...3 relapses all together. She is due to have a bone marrow transplant on the 29th of this month but now has a vicious form of pneumonia that they are having a hard time treating and they can't get her back into remission to go to transplant. SOOO, I gave myself a little mental shake and repeated the mantra I use here....we are very lucky, there are so many kids so much sicker, Jed will be fine.
Jed WILL be fine, just have to get rid of whatever bug he has and get his white count up to a whole 1. Right now it is .1.
Denise, housekeeper extrodanair, waited for us to get up here before she left for the day. I hope she does not leave this floor before we are finished with treatment! Bubba, another housekeeper was in here talking to Jed about fishing...he is over 6'3", huge guy and when he left he told Jed "if you want anything from downstairs just call me I'll get you whatever you want, I love you guys"!
So in the grand scheme of things just a small bump in the road.
Hate these freakin' bumps though!

..........................shark boy
anchors away...............next to them is a big sign it says "please do not climb on bunks"
..............................



...........
Brownie and ice cream always .............peace out 3d boys
perks ya up!

We did it! we made it to the aquarium! The day started off a little rocky. Jed ended up using a wheel chair for the tour of the aquarium, the walking was just too much. The first thing we did was kinda weird. We saw a 4d immersion movie about the sea. Sounds cool right? Well the concept was, the reality was not! DJ said it the best "they could have made it less rough". It was brutal! This pokey thing came out of the back of your chair and it HURT ( i have a bruise)! Then it randomly misted crappy old stinky water on you and then it shot big puffs of air from under the chair and that make the ribbon things whip around your legs...they stung! Jed got up and sat in his wheel chair. DJ held the map over the water holes and I was sitting sidways trying to avoid all the "immersion". Not the "total" fun they said it would be! The boys had a good time though. After all the fishes, jellies, dolphins and sharks we went to Hard Rock for lunch. Jed had a couple bites of a burger and some brownie sundae (not to mention 2 extra morphine) he perked up and wanted to check out the ships in the harbor....so of course we did. He climbed up and down countless ladders and very steep stairs. I was amazed! We really did have a great day.
He's upstairs now resting. He is having a lot of bone pain...not sure what that is about but we will keep an eye on it. I think it might be the dose of vincristine he got on Tuesday.
Tomorrow he is having school and I need to straighten up and clean a little (very little) :)
Friday he has school again and then we are going over to mom and dad's so I can wash my bike and make it pretty for Saturday....when it rains. No I mean for when I go to Carlisle for biker chick stuff. Dad, Mom and Jed are driving up so they can bring home all my loot! I am kind of excited I SO hope it doesn't turn into some big disaster where they do something weird to my hair and put lots of make-up on me and make me wear fringe and pink leather...nightmare. I guess I'll find out on Saturday. Ok, that's all for now.
Love J & K

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

Hi, we are home from clinic. He only got 1 chemo drug today because his counts are low, so he got blood instead. He slept through most of it. He should start feeling better soon. Seems a little perkier now! If we can get school rescheduled until Thurs and Fri I am going to try to get the boys,
(Jed and DJ), the the aquarium tomorrow. Jed has been wanting to go for a long time. He doesn't remember his last visit...he was 2! I think going now would be good because he is all fueled up with new blood! So that is the plan...well as much of a plan as I can make! There really is nothing new here. Savannah and I are getting ready to take a walk, I need to do something after sitting and eating little peppermint patties all day!
Gotta go

Jed, Holly and Baby Adam!
Hey. So the end of another nice weekend. This summer is going fast. Friday after Jed had school we picked up DJ and went swimming. The boys had a blast. They played in the creek and then played in the pool..giggling all day! Friday night Jed stayed with my parents while I rode with Danny to Gettysburg to check out the bike stuff. Saturday Jed opted to go back to my parents because he didn't feel like riding. Dan and I rode back up to Gettysburg to basically do the same stuff we did the night before....look at stuff and look at bikes and look at all the weird people! Jed was thrilled because when I dropped him at mom's Livi-Mac was there. They both stayed for the day and both napped through the afternoon!! Today was a wash. I took 2 benadryl last night, because I have had this weird itchy rash on my legs for 2 weeks, so I had a benadrly hang over all day. My kids take the stuff so often that it doesn't bother them at all! I could have slept all day. I managed to go the the grocery store..that's about it. Jed had a headache when I woke him at 9 so he slept all day. He was awake enough to talk to DJ for a minute than he went right back to sleep. He came down for dinner, turkey burgers and corn. He ate a half of a burger and 2 pieces of corn and now he just headed right back up. The headache thing is weird. He rarely gets them and he has not had a spinal tap in many weeks. He looks kinda pale. I'm sure his counts have taken a dive since Tuesday. I will be surprised if he gets all his chemo on Tuesday. I want to take the boys to the aquarium soon but Jed has to be able to do all the walking. I guess we'll see.
Oh, I don't know if I mentioned or not but when we were at clinic on Tuesday nurse Holly came in with her new baby Adam. He is so cute, like a tiny little man. Jed called him Benjamen Buttons. Oh god, thank goodness Holly loves him, she can over look his lack of tact! She sat with us in the infusion room and fed the baby while Jed finished his chemo...it was a great diversion! It was so nice to see them. Holly won't be back until September now because baby Adam needs some surgery. The little bones in his head are fused together so they are going to, I don't know loosen them up or open them or something. It just sounded terrifying but supposedly it is not an uncommon event. We hope for a smooth and quick recovery.
Well, now I think I'm finished. Savannah and Kourt are hanging out in the kitchen. Just like when they were in elementary school! Kourt lived a block or so down the street then. She moved to a sub-division for a few years and now her mom bought a house across the ally from me. The girls say we are "butt neighbors"..nice. They are spending a lot of time together right now. Kourtney leaves in the fall for college, she is going somewhere near Pittsburg.
I need to get on my treadmill but the benadryl seems to still be making me slow, good excuse.
Gotta Go, love J & K

Friday, July 10, 2009

Hi All. Things are calm right now after Jed threw a fit that his over easy eggs were folded too much & we were out of bread. I toasted a potato sandwich roll, it got too dark, it was the last one...of course. Then I was going to toast a potato hot dog roll, same maker, same bread just a different shape.....OH NO..they taste different. When I said they did not I got the whole " well they do to me because I am on chemo and you don't understand" . He chose a whole wheat roll...I didn't mention to him that was healthier anyway!!! He was flicking his eggs because he said the yoke was lost and he didn't know what kind of over easy eggs these were. He managed to flick yoke and egg all over the kitchen...dog was thrilled. I love starting the day in peace and harmony.
He is having school and then we are going to pick up D and hit the pool for a short time. Danny wants to ride to Gettysburg tonight, bike weekend is going on there. I don't know if Jed will want to go or not..we'll see. Savannah is in Mifflintown helping her Aunt Min get back on her feet after some surgery. Dakota is healing well from his ATV accident but Savannah will do stuff that a 15 yr old boy prob would not!
Oh, the reason for this post...if anyone is interested there is a four mile walk September 20th for the Four Diamonds Fund
Here's the link if you want to register on line...it will be at Hershey Med Center:
http://www.pennstatehershey.org/web/fourdiamonds/home/giving/fourdiamondswalk
I will remind everyone of it as we get closer!!!!
Gotta go, school is almost over...amazing how he acts so normal with the teacher...bet he wouldn't flick her eggs all over the kitchen.
Love J & K

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Hi, well after a not so great night Jed slept until after 2pm today. He woke up and seems to be feeling better. He has been scootering and hanging around. He took another nap but now is up again. He ate some pizza and a piece of corn. Now he is bugging his sister by just sitting too close! Oh love to her her yell.
So after the drama of yesterday eve this eve seems calm....so far! I know better than to get used to it. We have postponed our swimming with DJ until Friday.
That's all for now. I will keep you posted.
Love Jed and Kristin

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Just a quick update. The day was fine, he got his chemo ate his Wendy's burger on the way home, picked out his steak at the store, helped shuck his corn when we got home. He scootered a little, called DJ to invite him to swim tomorrow, ate his steak & corn & rolls and then got sick. So much for this chemo taking a day or so to kick in. Hope it doesn't last long. He is sleeping, has been since 7pm. The closer we get to the end of this the harder it is. I am SOOOO freakin' tired of this crap so I can't even imagine how tired Jed is. He had just started to feel pretty good and now it's back to the crap. Oh well, we will be finished soon. By Thanksgiving...fingers crossed.
Gotta go, have to wake him up to give him meds.....oh fun
Love J & K

Sunday, July 5, 2009

Hey. All is well here. Great weekend so far. Hope everyone else is having a fun 4th. On Friday Jed went to see Transformers with his little brother and dad. Then Friday evening he ad I walked up to watch the Red Lion fireworks. Of course we can't do anything without a little issue. Where we stopped to watch the show Jed made contact with a gift left by someones dog. Why are people just too lazy to clean up after their dog? Anyway we watched most of the the fireworks and then headed home where Jed went right to the bathtub! Yesterday we spent the whole day at a camp ground outside of Gettysburg with the Althoff family. Hayley is the girl that turned her birthday party into a fundraiser for The Four Diamonds. We had fun at their campsite. Jed loved it. we ate good food and he played in the creek and played kickball, on the playground and made gooey bananas and smores. He had a busy day! It was so nice of them to invite us up and entertain and feed us! Jed wants to go rent a place up there for a weekend and take DJ. They have cabins (with no water) for $50 a night or you can rent an RV there for $95 a nite. I have a tent but I don't think I could do it! Well, maybe...no I couldn't! We'll see. Anyway we had a great time and Jed REALLY had a great time! Today I think is just a hang out kinda day. Jed was awake earlier but went back to bed...he is worn out!! Danny spent yesterday in Altoona visiting friends and Savannah is in Atlantic City with Kyle and his family. I hope it gets warmer this week I want to go hang at Grace's pool! Tomorrow my cousin,Suzy, aunt Paula and cousins kid, Kaitlyn, are coming to see my Gram so we are going over to hang out and eat some lunch. Can't wait to see them. I want to go stay at my uncle and aunt's place on Chincoteague island sometime soon. But I have to work almost 3 weeks in August so I doubt if we will get to go. Guess that's it. I put some pics of up our "day at Camp" on this post. Tuesday starts 4 weeks of all day chemo..yipee. Oh well almost over....I hope.



creek fun.................................... kickball......................... hangin out




smores..........................new buddie peko.........after not even 10 mins on the rode home!!!
