The one about some bad news about Jay.....

Well, Tiffany and I called Jay Christmas day while we were driving to Floydada and we called Jay on the phone to tell him Merry Christmas! Jay sounded good, and told me that he got a brand new Pocket PC for Christmas!!! (and wow is it good...actually the best on the market made by Dell......)

But, during the phone call Jay said that he was still feeling sick. (This is normal actually considering that they knocked down his immune system to nil and he has to come all the way back to a healthy immune system. So we thought nothing of it......

Well, today we tried calling him @ home and no answer and then on his cell phone and it was turned off.....then not more than 5 mins. later Sheila called us (not even knowing that we called 5 mins before) and told us that Jay was back in the hospital and that they were worried about his kidneys...and then they got to looking at him closer and now it is about a 99% chance that he has the cancer back.




Yeah, that is right we all get to go another round in the ring with this cancer. But, this time it is a given that I will probably fly up to them and do the bone marrow stem cell transplant with my bone marrow stem cells.

We still do not have any idea about the time involved in this or exactly if the cancer is back, but all signs point to yes. I will of course keep everyone up to date here on my blog on how he is doing....

When we talked to him today around 6:00 pm Eastern time...he was feeling very tired and laying in bed while Sheila (the super dooper wife of a thousands strengths) was packing up their home to bring Jay and her all the stuff they need again for another round. They have him in the hospital as "short term", but they don't know how long he might stay. His Dr. is out of the country, and they were trying to reach him via cell phone. Jay patiently answered all our questions, and then at the very end of the phone call he asked to speak to me....and said......




"Hey D.G,......... I got something to tell you............I have a better Pocket PC than you!"


Yeah, needless to say his Spirits are still great, but the frustration is very evident in his voice as well as my parents. but all in all, we will all get through this time, and I know that the ride just might be a little longer than we all thought it would be.

If he gets to go home tomorrow then we will all have our Christmas with my Dad's side of the family @ our house and we will set up a live camera feed for Jay and Sheila to see and hear the gifts being opened that they gave us and the ones that we gave them too. If they are still at the hospital, then we will do what most people do and just pass the phone around, heh. All in all, it will be a very special day to have everyone close or closer by phone! Thanks!

KUTPs!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and tomorrow, Tiffany and my fam are driving up to Lubbock and get her blood test and see if her hormone level is good or if she will need to take some more to keep it at normal levels, so in that regard also......KUTPs!!!!!!!!!!!!
