Drop back 10 and Throw a Hail Mary
Well, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water and shark swims up and bites you in the a**.
That's how I feel today. Dr. Bunny Rabbit came in today as the bearer of bad news from the bone marrow biopsy they did the other day. 2/3's of the cells found in Jack's marrow where Jack's, 1/3 where the donors. This is not the positive we were looking for. What does this mean? Well this could mean one of two things or both who knows. Not enough donor cells were harvested for the transplant or believe it or not enough conditioning aka )(chemo therapy). Either way we are kind of back at square 1. The Dr.'s are activating a new donor and also trying to go back to the original donor to get more cells. The original donor would be the most favorable scenario but that is usually doubtful (keep your fingers crossed). This time they will go for stem cells because you get more cells and Jack needs a boat load. Jack never makes anything smooth & easy. He always causes chaos & mayhem but that's why we love him.
So, today Tina and I went on a double decker bus tour of Philadelphia. It was pretty neat. They take you to 23 points of interest all over the city. From City Hall to Independence Hall to Ben Franklin's house, the steps of the Art museum that where made famous in Rocky. Did you know Slyvester Stallone only ran up the last 10 steps, his stunt double did the rest. There is some really great architecture around the city and a ton of early american history. But anyway enough of the boring stuff. After the bus tour Tina and I went to see the Liberty Bell
Tina wouldn't cooperate for the camera. She was getting bored by this point, to much history for her. She and Charlotte are going to visit the zoo tomorrow. Oh yeah and by the way it is Charlottes Birthday so please send her a B-Day wish. She is feeling very depressed right now.
So everyone keep your fingers crossed, say a little prayer, and send a litttle luck Jack's way please.
I also want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you for reading, praying , crossing, knocking and whatever else you do. It does not go unnoticed. We really appreciate it and Jack especially does. We love you all.

Hey Char and family,
Hang in there , the prayers are still coming. Jack is a toughy he just wants to make you sweat. I hope you are enjoying your time with Christina.
Happy Birthday. be strong. Love and prayers to all of you.
Love Jill
Hey Jack, Char, Roy & Christina,
Stay strong! We are all thinking, praying and hoping that things start to turn around. Christian still wants his playdate with Jack! Hurry up and get better.
Love,
Jenn, Chuck & Christian
