After those 2 masked men disappeared this morning and Jack returned, we were visited by "Cookie Monster" and "SUPER Grover"
We're saying good-bye to 2005 and saying hello to 2006.
Here are some of the things we encountered in 2005.
- A Diagnosis
- A wonderful group of caring doctors
- Jack having a stroke and a full recovery
- A successful fundraiser
- Incredible amounts of people who have shown their generosity through donations
- Eight months with no hospital stays
- Christina recovering from her broken arm
- This great website designed by Andres Trevino
- The stem cell team finding a perfect match for Jack
- Being contacted by the Discovery Health Channel to put Jack's story on Mystery Diagnosis (thanks to the Trevino's)
- The "Found N.E.M.O-Finding Cure" Foundation has finally been established as of the last week in December
- Christina being a GREAT big sister
- A very nice Christmas...........
- And, the loss of a great man.....Jack's grandfather.....Opa...Salvatore J. Malfitano
We are so looking forward to a "healthy" and successfull 2006. There are going to be some tough times ahead, it's going to be very difficult for us to travel down to Philly for 6 to 8 weeks and leave Christina behind, but she is such an adaptable child who truely wants her brother to be better, so please remeber to email her while we are away from her. She loves to get and write emails back, so send emails to Bubbagirl98@aol.com.
We were just contacted by the Stem Cell Team in Philladelphia and the plans are starting to be made for Jack's transplant. The doctors had their meeting on December 5 and all the doctors who attended were very happy with the game plan and especially that they found a perfect match for Jack. We were also told that Jack will be the first N.E.M.O. transplant that a family member is not the donor, but the team is very enthusiastic about the donor they found. Our meeting with the team is scheduled for January 11 and we will get all the specifics for the transplant, so keep checking back on the site for the details.
Thanks again for all your continued support.
Thank you Cheryl Cavenaugh for making the "Found N.E.M.O.-Finding Cure" Foundation possible. You are an amazing woman/friend to take time out of your busy life to put it all together.
Everyone please keep checking the site for details for The Foundation.
