Day Zero…..again
Today at 11:00 am Jack gets his stem cells.  We hit some definate rocky patchs over the weekend but things are looking up.  Sunday was a little rough for Jackson with the standard chemo side effects including lots of vomiting and no appetite but by monday the vomiting was gone and Jackson's good nature came back.  Yesterday Jack had a blood transfusion to boost his red cells which has increased his energy and made him look like he has a tan.  Jack did not eat on Sunday or Monday but this morning he had a few bites of pancakes with syrup so that's a good sign.  Hopefully we can entice him with some cheetoes later!   Good luck Jack.

Jackson we are thinking about you and sending you all our strength for your stem cell transplant. It is almost 11am so I am sure you are in fighting mode. BTW Quinn had exactly the same breakfast today as you which was a few bites of a pancake with syrup. It must be the breakfast of champions! We send lots of hugs to you.

Okay, its after 11 and I can only hope that your stem cell procedure went well.  We need to focus on kicking some cancer behind!!  Keep up the warrior style moves you’ve been using Jackson.  Give it the old one two and a sneaky one on 3 and half!!  That fools ‘em everytime!

I’m glad you ate something, hopefully the cheetos did the trick!  My preference is the puffy, those are always fun to try and melt in your mouth...give it a try sometime.

P.S.  Wyatt, make sure you are getting in on the cheetos, those are a prime commodity!!  Happy walking and talking!!

Keep up the good work Jack!!!  Nothing makes you look and feel better than a nice tan...although your mom and Auntie Stef don’t know what that’s like.  grin Have some cheetos later for Bella.  She loves them too.  Glad you are getting some rest.  You are still doing a great job and we are so proud of the whole family.  Love you!

Hey Sterny and Co-c.... I have some of pictures of brothers Wyatt and Jackson (almost sounds like the Brother Gibbs lol) on the babyboard but I was wondering if i could add to the board of Jackson in front of your house on Labor Day weekend with the hose to the collection on the famous baby board.

Miss you guys

(p.s. i couldn’t add this to the guestbook, i hope it works here)
