Hey. Today Jed, mom and I are going over to my Gram's new apartment to hang pics and get things set up for her. She is moving in 1 week from today!
Jed is doing ok. Yesterday his stomach pain seemed to come back. Grace took us to lunch and he didn't eat anything, just laid in the booth. He went to hang out with my dad at 3pm so I could go to the Dr. and he cried for awhile. Mom brought him home when Danny got home from work. He took a morphine and went up to his room, by the time Savannah and I got home he was feeling better. I think since he had a second dose of vincristine that that could be what triggered this pain again. I hope it will go away. When we went to the GI Dr last week he had had no stomach pain in almost 2 weeks. They want to do a lactose intolerance test.....I think that is pointless. I know he is not lactose intolerant. I am not looking forward to the day they make him take that test.......he is already complaining about it! I think they just have no idea what else to do. My feeling is it is damage from all the chemo, somewhere in there....how's that for a scientific diagnosis! Guess that's why I'm NOT the Dr.
I am painting the hallway and steps. It needs to be painted....not really, I think it's more of an OCD thing with me that anything.
Today is Hop's birthday!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOP!!!!
ok, gotta go paint before we go to Gram's apartment.
Love Jed and Kristin
I wish it was THON again! :)
Oh, I put a link up on the right side to a petition, the petition is headed to DC to help increase funding for Childhood cancers......please take a moment and sign it, pass it on to others too.
THANK YOU!

Hi, So no chemo again today....well he got 1 drug but not the all day one again. His counts are pretty much the same as last week. We will try again next Tuesday. He seems to feel pretty good, I'll take that!
Tomorrow morning THON is supposed to be on the Today Show!!! 8:20 am.
For those of you that were looking for Savannah on Sunday she lost her voice Saturday night and could not sing......I think it was because she knew I wanted to hear her sing that song in that arena. Oh well. Next year??? I think this past weekend has helped her make up her mind about school. Penn State York this coming year and then on to main campus. She made some new "friends"this weekend...! But really, I don't think she would be able to go elsewhere because she can't stay away from THON! Maybe she will be the first female big cheese for THON! She is talking about being a Gamma Phi too...I guess we will see!
So, let's see, some THON things, Joe Pa...that was so very cool. I will try to post a link to the video of him talking. He was pretty emotional. Savannah got a picture with him! Jed and I had no clue why everyone was screaming ...I mean.. over the top screaming! We were near the back of the stage and we couldn't see what was going on, finally I caught a glimpse of him on the big screen. I texted dad (he was at home) and said I think Joe Pa is here and he said wow cool Joe pa! The place just went nuts! I have never heard the "we are Penn State' cheer as loud as it was when Joe Pa finished his speech...it was crazy. The BJC was closed and they were not letting anyone in because it was so full and every person in there was yelling, "we are...Penn State! The whole weekend was just amazing. Every year it is better. We love our group and all the PSU kids. There were many other stories. I will write them as they come to my head...my brain is very swiss cheese like!
I have to go, our super hot, way cool, awesomely smart, new president is gonna speak...yay!
Yes I am a geek, sorry, ok, no not sorry!
Love Jed and Kristin

$7490133.87...No really, that is the total...how crazy is that? We can't say thanks enough to all that work so hard throughout the year to make this possible. The dedication and devotion to THON from the PENN STATE students is amazing. We love all of you and can never say thank you too many times....THANK YOU!
Thanks also to our wonderful friends and family for their donations. Thank you, for helping us, help our children.
We thanked a student for all she had done, and she said thank you for being here to inspire us. Jed looked at her and said, "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all of you, so please don't thank me, you saved me".......
