Jack: April 2006 Archives
What a day we've had today. It started out with Denny waking up Jack at 3:30 am to show him a picture of a train that he colored and then added Jack's face to the front of it, making Jack a "Thomas the Tank Engine" train. So, need less to say, I'm very tired because that just started Jack up.
Then Jack received a HUGE package from Dr. Silas Ashmore's Office (All Creatures Great and Small Animal Hospital). The entire staff added things to the box that they though Jack would enjoy and they certainly hit a nail on the head. He got Thomas stuff, Batman stuff, Coloring Books, Reading Books, Stickers and what Jack loved mostly water pistols to shoot and Tracey and Denny.
Thank You So Much....Everyone at Dr. Ashmore's Office. I don't know if anyone patronizes Dr. Ashmore, but I would really like to say what a wonderful group of people that work for him. Dr. Ashmore is not only fantastic veterinarian, but a wonderful man who truely cares for his patients (animals) and their families, please consider using him for your 4 legged family member.
Then, another huge package came and inside was more things for Jack this time from AnneMarie Fusaro, Cathy Touma, Jenn Zampino, Miss Debbie and Miss Bernadette, from Tiny Treasures. The got Jack, chips, goldfish, animal crackers, a matching game, a computer game, a Thomas Card Game, Crayola fingerpaints, a puzzle and plastic zoo animals. Not only did they get that for Jack but they got me a beautiful bag filled with mommy things, body wash, candle, books, crossword and best of all CHOCOLATE. Again, what a wonderful group of women. AnnaMarie and Cathy are two parents who patronize Tiny Treasure and Jenn, Debbie and Bernadette are from Tiny Treasures. Jenn, Cathy, AnnaMarie and I had the pleasure of going out for dinner the weekend before Jack was admitted and what a great night we had and I am so looking forward to that again.
If anyone should ever need a great preschool for their child, consider Tiny Treasures, again, this is not only a place where you can send your child where you know they will be safe, but also a group of people who truely care about their families who patronize them.
We are truely blessed with the amount of people who surround us with all the love and prayers. Thank you All.
Finally, today we got some really great new from Dr. Bunnin. When we find out Jack's vntr's on wednesday or thursday we should know how much is the donors cells and how much is Jack's and the good news is that if it is more donor cells the donor who gave to Jack the first time around agreed to donate again, which would mean less of transplant and more of a boost to the cells he already has. If we should find out that it is more of Jack's cells the bad news would be that he would have to undergo another full blown transplant with major chemo again.
Keep knocking, crossing and praying for the donor's cells to prevail. Our prayers have been answered thus far, I'm sure they will continue to be answered.
Day +30 - April 26, 2006
Since Roy and Tina left on Sunday, I have been trying to keep Jack busy and be creative. So today I devised a way for Jack to go camping, he had so much fun playing under the tent and hiding from Denny.
