The one with Tiffany's big adventure continued, a few Jay updates, I was published!!!, and a pic screaming for your comment....

Well, Tiffany's parents just left, and it was good seeing them. I am now about to leave to go to a Children and poverty seminar that our church is hosting, and I am sure it will be educational, and something that I might not want to talk about but something that needs to be discussed...and how we can help this horrid problem here in our country and in the world. I am extreamly tired, and we have a full week ahead of us this week and next week is just as big....but more on that later. Right now, I will just let you read Sheila's previous emails and give you something to comment about, heh.....

Jay Updates in order withy a later personal update after them all.....

Wednesday Feb. 23rd, '05:

Jay is in the hospital for a 24 hours observation.

He started having severe pain in his shoulder (he has had some pain for a long time but never to this degree) last night. We told the Dr. in short stay today and he ordered MRIs. They think they have found something near the brachial plexus and are calling in a radiation oncology consult for tomorrow morning. The Dr. thinks the cancer maybe forming a tumor there. The neurologist came to see him this evening and feels the same way. They are going to try do the radiation tomorrow if it is warranted. He got platelets again today and some potassium.

The Dr. rounding today made me feel better about the low counts because he said that the methotrexate can seep out of the CNS and into the rest of system and effect the bone marrow especially with the amount he has been receiving. It's good to know his counts are an effect of the chemo and not the cancer. Another Doctor told us it wouldn't effect the counts but this one is the oldest Dr. in the practice and he was 100% sure that's what it is.

Last night Jay woke up at about 2:00 AM and asked me what I wanted from Mystery Taco. He also told me that he is a spy and that his partner looks like Lucy Lu. He told me I'm a spy too but I don't work in the same place as him. Today he reached out his hand to hand me something (of course there was nothing in his hand) and he told me, I want you to have this $20. There were a couple of other things he said that were hard to follow. He drifts in and out of this quasi sleep mode often.

He just said to me while laying in bed - hey, this is my commercial, and the TV is not on. He does love that Dr. Pepper commercial with the catchy jingle where the people in the back ground start whistling. When he gets grumpy I bring the commercial and it puts him in a good mood so at least he was hallucinating happy thoughts about Dr. Pepper.

There is no further word on the transplant yet.

Take care everyone.

-----------------------------------

Thursday Feb. 24th, '05

Jay had is first radiation treatment today. All went well.

On the way home, while sitting at a red light in Wilkinsburg, we got rear ended. A lady hit one car that then hit another, that then hit another, that hit us.
Lucky for us, there was no damage but the guy behind us messed up his car and called the police so we had to wait for them to show up. When I got home we had about 4 inches of snow on the driveway (well at least it looked like 4 inches)

Jay didn't do much hallucinating today.

No further word on the transplant.

Good night everyone,
Sheila

======================

DG's Update on Jay:

Well, I talked to Sheila Saturday and Jay had a headache, but it was good Sheila told me, because she thought the reason his head hurt so bad was 1) there was a cold front moving through and Sheila had a head ache too (BTW: I think I had one too from when it came through here a few days ago) but Sheila seemed to think that Jay mainly had a head ache because he stayed up until 1:00 a.m. Friday night/Sat. morning playing games with his friends!!!!! I was so glad to hear that he felt good enough to do that, but I also know my brother is good at over doing it in the guise of......"I might as well live it up"! So needless to say we were all happy that he felt good enough to do that, and were sorry that his head hurt, but happy that he had a good time the night before. Sheila said that they are waiting now for the insurance company to approve the hone marrow transplant and then I will get the call, heh. She said that they would love to do the transplant right now, but if they did and the insurance did not approve it the way it is submitted from the Dr. the Sheila and ay are stuck with a VERY large hospital procedure! .....we all wait. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers and please know Jay, Sheila, Mom, Dad, Aunt, brother, sister-in-laws, etc....all appreciate your love and prayers for Jay!!!!!!!!!!!!

=============================

Tiffany's big adventure continued.......

So after we called our family PA (not Dr. actually) and they told us they could not get Tiffany into the office until the afternoon of the next day...we decided to call on our the nurses from my church to ask what she thought and if we would need to go to the emergency room. After tiffany talked to her for a short time it was the nurses opinion that we head out to the ER. off we went....now I have been to the ER before (actually many times...being a Pastor) and I knew that we would need to bring a book...so I we both grabbed our books and drove straight there. Tiffany went in and I let her off at the door so she could go check-in and then I could park. When I go into the waiting room there was Tiffany with her sweet smile face hiding the horrible pain beneath that I know she had. I sat beside her holding her while I started watching all the people around us.....the room was filled primarily with babies and children that were sick or hurting, and it looked like they had been there for quite some time....several hours we found out later....well, after 3 hours of waiting Tiffany's name was called and we went into a small prep room for questions and then they put us into another waiting room (a different room but packed with people this time) and we waited....then they called our name and we thought to our selves....finally here we go to see the Dr........nope......they took us to the insurance person to make sure we could pay for what ever we were getting done....(I am very scared about what kind of bill we are going to get with this one) then back out the the second waiting room. Well, by this time I had to leave to go to the church to go to a meeting that we had.....now normally I would have skipped the meeting, but this was the first meeting that we had had since the resignation of the chair, and I was the chair...so I thought it would be short and sweet and then I could get out of there and back to Tiffany.....besides Tiffany had her cell and could get a hold of me anytime she needed too.....(I still felt bad, but I went) Well, the meeting lasted an hour and I ran back to the ER...to find out that Tiffany had gotten back to an ER room, but they had taken her to get a Ultrasound, and so I sat once again and waited this time by myself waiting for my wife....They wheeled her back in and by this time they had put a car accident person (not too bad) in a bed out in the hall (yes they were so swamped that people were in the hall being treated) well, they came back and the Dr. decided to do another exam this time making sure Tiffany did not have something wrong with a pregnancy (we had be AI ( Artificially Inseminated two weeks before) (They found out that she was not pregnant :( ........) But even after al that and another Dr. coming in to see her they decided that there was nothing to really do and discharged her only to tell her to come back the next day and make sure the blood work was OK.
Yeah that is right I said, "the next day"..... So the next day we both went back to the same ER....waited, and waited, and waited, and then we waited....up until the point that they finally had us wait some more! It was OK this time, because this time we got to see a lot more cool injuries, like a chief who cut his wrist from Maria's (which we liked so much we went to eat there after this visit, heh heh) and all kinds of stuff, but the same basic stuff happened...and all the time we tried to tell them to find the same Dr. we had last night and tell her we were back and all we needed to do was do the urine sample and the blood test and be on our way (Tiffany's pain that day had gone down from a 9 to a 3) but they would not listen and just told us that we had to wait again and again and again.... Well, they finally got her in a bed that was in the hall and asked her to pee in a cup and give it back to them. Tiffany was so worried about a blood sample, because her veins are so small that it is hard for anyone to be able to draw blood from her.... and luck her they decided to not make her have to do a blood test and the urine was just fine!!! So that was great news....even though we had to wait a total of 15 hours over the course of 2 days to find that info out...but the great thing was while we were waiting for the second day's urine test there was this lady in one of the ER rooms that was streaming like a wild mountain lion! I mean you would not believe how this young lady was screaming....all the nurses and Dr.'s would look at each other and exchange bewildered stares and slight smiles..... I mean it was crazy how this lady was screaming! Then I noticed that one of the nurses said that she got out.....and we all knew that that meant this wild lady was on the loose....well out of no where a male nurse tackled this woman and three others grabbed her and as three people led her back to the room she was in one of the nurses grabbed her hair and the lady screaming, "Pull my hair harder, pull it!!!!"....."OK", I said to Tiffany..."Looks like someone needs to approve a sedative!"
We decided right then that going to the ER was way better than any movie date night, heh. (probably will cost a lot more, but still better) heh heh

=================================

amazing news!!!!!!

I was reading one of my favorite magazines on Saturday and then I read a wonderful letter to the editor!!! As I was reading the letter I thought to myself..."Wow I think I have read this before"....and ten I read who wrote it....heh I could not believe it, but they published my article!!!! I have had my name in this magazine before with small quotes here and there, but this time it was smack dab in the front and my entire letter was there! bad grammer and all...heh..... So I thought I would let yall know about this and then show it off to your friends/family that you know that guy who wrote that letter, he, the magazine is in the book stands right now and thought I would let you support the magazine and buying it and framing it, he...so maybe not that crazy about it, but still fun......just in case if you don't want to go find it on the news stands or Borders/Barnes and Nobles...then you can read it here:

DVD Etc. The issue is Jan/Feb 2005 Vol.4 #1 and the scripture on the spine is John 8:12....yep you heard me right scripture...the Editor is a Christian and is not ashamed to say it and tell his readers that all the time....the crazy thing is I found out that he actually started out in the magazine industry with my favorite magazine for the Turbo Grafx 16 Video Game system.... oh man I loved that system, and still love it today...If I could just fine one, heh....especially if it had the CD attachment and the greatest RPG game called" Y's Book I and II"...the first home video game RPG on a CD with actually cartoon graphics on the disc! I even dreamed about this game with I was a kid, heh. Ok back on track my letter to the editor is on page 17, and my name is Grady Hollums) still amazing, and I talked about The Passion Of The Christ is anyone cares.... have a fun read...but you better hurry to read it I am sure the magazine will be taken off the shelves soon for the next month's issue.

The one with Jay Update, Tiffany's big adventure, SB Rock opera, new comment picture............

Here is Sheila's latest email for our newest Jay Update:

Feb. 22nd, '05:

Not much to update:
Jay got 2 units of blood and 1 unit of platelets yesterday and a lot of non-answers. We are still very unclear as to what is happening with the transplant. He was not himself yesterday but is much better today. Things are 10 X more difficult when Jay is experiencing personality changes. Things have been very stressful here so please be patient with the slower communication. As with life, other personal stressors don't cease just because we're in a big crisis and at this moment we're experiencing an overflowing plate.

So, please be patient.

I will make sure that if we get any vital news I will get it out ASAP.

Thanks,

Sheila

Tiffany's Big Adventure

Well, Tiffany got back form her youth's ski trip that she had been vomiting several times on a daily basis while she was away....and she was home for a grand total of maybe 15 mins that we tried to get her into the Dr. and they told her that the soonest they could get her in would be 4:00 p.m. the next day (when all signs were showing that she was having Appedicitius.....well.......

(breaking news.....Tiffany has just yelled at me to come to bed...so this story will have to wait until a later time....just for all of you Tiffany is fine right now, but last night and this entire afternoon and evening we have spent @ the ER....we had many adventures over the course of the total of 14 hours of our lives in the ER in Santa Fe.....more to come in a later date....)

To Be Continued......

Please leave your comments for the picture in the comments section at the end of this post where it says "comments"....and with Sheila's news please KUTPs!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank yall and God bless yall!

The one with a Jay Update and I need your funny captions for this picture....

Here is Sheila's latest from Sunday (today...well yesterday for right now)

Sun. Feb 20th, '05:

On Friday Jay had a lumbar puncture, a central line removed, a new central line put in and a bone marrow biopsy.

It was a busy day. He started feeling a lot of pain after the LP so they gave him the equivalent of 7mg of long acting morphine and that made the biopsy and central line not as bad. For some reason they were unable to get the aspirate on the biopsy and may have to do it again tomorrow. This is troubling because the aspirate is the part that is most necessary for the testing. They said it is possible that the lymphoma is filling the bone and cause it not to be there. Another Doctor said that we might just want to have a nurse who is really good at it do it again. The Doctor said it could just be his technique and not the lymphoma.

Tonight is my house cleaning night and I'm not quite done so I am going to go.

Please take care everyone.

Sincerely,
Sheila

==========================

Since it is so late, and I need to wake up early to put together a Worship CD for the youth Praise band I will just leave you with this picture and ask all of you to give it a funny comment....(I wonder if I should start handing out prizes for the best one to see if more people will post a comment? hmmmm I will think about it.

========================

Thanks as always for your thoughts ad prayers! God bless ya! and never stop KUTPs!!!!!!!!!!

Big Jay update.....Please pray big time now......

Jay Update: (and it looks like some things got pushed forward a little now.....)

Feb. 16th, '05 evening:

Today started out with the usual. Try to get Jay awake, cover his central line with a plastic bag so that he can take a shower, tell him every 5 minutes for a ½ hour that he one has 5 more minutes and he has to get out of the shower, gather our clothes for the day, and then spend 40 minutes convincing him that he needs to stop watching TV and start the process of getting fully dress. Follow that up with 5-7 trips back up the stairs to retrieve items that we forgot but remember just before we're leaving the driveway. His hat, pillow, and glasses rank as the top three most forgotten items (I'm not much of a morning person, I'm lucky I remember my head). :-)

We get to medical short stay and we wait in the waiting room for 15 minutes. After the fifteen minutes, we call the number on the sign that says "if you have waited more than 15 minutes, please call this number". Every time the person on the other end of that number says "someone will be with you, why are you calling this number? Every time, I respond we'll there's a sign here that says to call this number after you have here fifteen minutes and we have been in here more than fifteen minutes." Every time I'm met with the same awkward silence and the tone changes to a very inviting "we'll be right out".

By this point in the day, I feel like I'm in the movie Groundhog's Day. Same old, same old.
I only shared this because this is the first time I realized what a routine this has become. Almost eerie.

Tuesday night, I was on my way back from work when my mom called to tell me Jay was running a fever. When I got home his fever was 101.4, later that night it was 102.4. At 10:30, I called his Doctor and he said to give him Levaquin and Tylenol and call back if anything changes. Nothing really changed. Even though he had a fever he said all in all he was feeling pretty good.

Today, at short stay they decided not to do his LP. We got to short stay at 10:00 and we didn't see the Doctor until 4:30. When he arrived he gave us some new news.
They cancelled the LP for today but rescheduled it for Friday. They also are going to do a bone marrow biopsy on Friday. The Doctor said that it might be possible that the first round of chemo this time actually put him in remission. His low platelet count is a little disturbing but if the cancer is effecting the platelet then it should be seen in the bone marrow. If there is no evidence of cancer in the bone marrow we may jump straight to the transplant. This concerned me at first and I asked him "why would we risk skipping the chemo cycles since they were so important last time". He said that since when he was treating Jay intrathecally with Deposite (this is the drug that cause the arachnoiditis) the cancer still came back, he is afraid that cancer is starting to become chemo resistant.

I also asked how can we rely on the biopsy when it came back negative on Dec 13th and 2 weeks later the cancer put him in ICU. He stated that he went back and examined the slides himself and stated that he found a marker that can be normal in some people but it may have been evidence of the cancer. He said if that marker is present (even though normally it is still considered a negative result) he will consider the cancer to still be present and Jay must be in remission (no sign of cancer) in order to proceed with the transplant.

He said he wants to do a bone marrow transplant but in the bone marrow abatement phase he wants hit him EXTREMELY hard. This time he wants to do full body radiation plus intensive intracranial radiation coupled with intense chemo. He said he strongly believes that this is our best shot. He said also that even after the transplant Jay will still have to have methotrexate in his CNS regularly. He said that since they found concrete evidence of the cancer (not just clinical evidence) in the CNS that he feels comfortable putting in an Omaya reservoir port in his head to keep him from having to have so many LPs.

Dr. Lister contacted Jay's transplant coordinator already and she is working on getting insurance approval. We will know more about the schedule after the coordinator sets everything up and the biopsy is back. If cancer is found in the biopsy then he will have at least one more course of chemo.


It has been quite an emotional day. We are filled with hope on the main front but we also understand that this is the final battle. It is really scary for both of us. I took him out for dinner tonight and had my business meeting at the same time. This worked out well since Jay is not really able to talk much. When we got home he had himself so worked up I have him an ativan and helped him change into his soft PJs. He's doing better now but the stress of today's news is pretty intense for him.

On the way home, I notified his brother that they maybe moving forward sooner than expected and to get ready for the phone call any day since he is the bone marrow donor. DG is eagerly waiting. He is truly a great brother to Jay and a not so bad brother-in-law either (I would get more mushy but he'll be reading this and I don't want to inflate that ego any more that it is - Tiffany his wife would strangle me) :-)

Well, I have some projects to work on so I have to go.

I hope all is well with each and everyone one of you.

Sheila

"............."

The one about Valentines Day, Hitch the movie, Strong Bad cooks, Jay update, and a new picture.....

Well, Valentines Day was a good day for us! We went to work and we both got a lot of work done and then Tiffany and I (after really loving on (Halo) to make sure he knew he was loved) drove to Albuquerque.

Tiffany and my first Valentine's Day with each other (in college) consisted of me buying Chick-fil-A nuggets for both of us and then having fancy glasses (filled with strawberry flavored water) and candles on the floor of my dorm room, and then we rented her favorite movie Say Anything. So.......

Chick-fil-A has become a tradition in our marriage every Valentine's Day, so I decided (along with Tiffany) to take a table cloth and candle sticks and go to Chick-fil-A in Albq. (the only one that is close to us) and eat @ the restaurant. So you can imagine that we walk in odered our nuggets and then go to your table clear it off, lay out a table cloth, and put up candle sticks (it was the ones that Christy and Kevin got us for Christmas)...we did not have time to buy candles or a lighter, so we put red hot sauce packets in the candle stick holders, and we enjoyed a very romantic Chick-fil-A dinner!!!!!! We then packed up all of our stuff and went to go watch Hitch!

--------------------

Well, Hitch is an awesome movie! First off it stars Kevin James and Will Smith. I love Will Smith in almost anything, and Kevin James famous for his King of Queens sitcom on CBS is so stinking funny. I almost hyperventilated! This movie was clean (maybe a few cuss words, but no nudity, and had lots of themes including, love, premature judgment, dancing, dating, dating, and dating, and man, is Will Smith good at what he does in the movie, heh. He is the ultimate smooth operator, heh. I have no doubt that everyone who goes to this movie will laugh...unless they are drugged or can not laugh due to some other reason. My advise....Go see it...then you might want to go see it again, and you can bet that we will buy the DVD when it comes out!

-----------------------

Strong Bad is a chief in the latest Strong Bad email...so for all you cooking people out there like me you might enjoy this one, heh (or not, heh) Don't forget about the Easter eggs at the end of the email. I love the one about "poopaw".

=============================

Sheila's email for the latest Jay update:

Feb 14th, '05 Evening:

Happy Valentine's Day.

Jay had another LP today with the methotrexate injection. He has an eye doctor appointment tomorrow in the morning.
Today is platelets took a nose dive and he needed an infusion. This is not good news because his platelets had stabilized for 2 weeks. He will most likely start systemic chemo Thursday but we are still watching it day. There is a possibility that he may have to go for an infusion tomorrow. Wednesday and Friday he has 2 more LPs but Thursday we should know when he will start the next cycle.

He did eat at Denny's tonight. It was great. No one was there. This is very good news since today was Valentine's Day. I would hate to think that guys think of Denny's as the happening' romantic hot spot. The methotrexate monster came out for a minute when the waiter put ice in his coke float. We got the situation addressed and all is well. Lucky for us we were looking for fast and not romantic. :-) All he could talk about was getting cheese fries, Sunday I had to make an emergency stop at Krispy Kreme. If I didn't know better I would think he was pregnant with such distinct and varied cravings.

I'm going to work in the afternoon tomorrow but can't be go long my mom has to be somewhere in the evening.

Well, that's all for now. We're just keeping our eyes on the platelets.

Sheila

==========================

ok here is the next picture for you to put a caption on. Please leave your responses in the comments. Thank you and have fun with this one, heh.


"What? I don't make fun or YOUR ears!"

==========================

Well, Off to work...yall have a wonderful week and day today! Take care and please KUTPs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one with 2 of Sheila's emails and Thor's Chocolate quiz.....

Well, first of we made it back save from Las Cruces and everything went great! We had some amazing Mexican food (not this Southwestern food around Northern New Mexico) and I am excited about the Wesley Foundation camp called ROCK! It should be lots of fun and an amazing time for everyone involved!

Here is Sheila's latest emails:

Fri Feb. 11th, '05 Evening:

This has been one of those weeks that if I were journaling I would just rip out the page and erase it from existence.
Murphy's Law was in full swing (everything that can go wrong does).

I think here on the last day of the week, I am finally pulling some of this together and next week I see a glimmer of optimism.

I took Jay to the hospital today for his LP and while he was at the procedure I had to go to an urgent meeting at work. I left him a note telling where I had gone when I would be back and that I love him. I knew he would have wanted me to go to the meeting.
Well, I got lost on the way back from the meeting and forgot my cell phone had been turned off . I turned it on and found he had left 3 messages and now I'm running late.

By the time I got back, he refused to talk to me most of the way home and wouldn't hold my hand. I was really being punished and I guess I deserved it. I have promised to never leave the hospital again when he is there.

I've been earning all kinds of new titles today - I'll just add "bad wife" to the heap and start all over next week. In fact next week, starts tomorrow.

If I don't get to write before Monday, Happy Valentine's Day everyone.

--------------------

and one more

Sat 12th, '05 Evening:

Well, the methotrexate stopped turning him into Mr. Hyde, I'm back to being the good wife. He said the methotrexate kept making him think I had abandoned him and that he couldn't think rationally but he's not mad at me this morning :-) - I still don't think I'll ever leave :-)
He wanted to eat at Boston Market today, unfortunately we stepped inside and he started to get sick. We rushed out and went home. He went to sleep and needless to say he didn't feel like going out again. So, his adventure today was a 5 minute car ride but it was enough to upset his stomach. I spent the afternoon cleaning up, doing bills and watching Law and Order.

My brother and his fiancé are here now trying to get Jay to watch a car race. Jay is enjoying the company.

His schedule this week is - Monday - short stay, Tuesday eye appointment, Wednesday - Short stay, Thursday Hem Onc appointment and possible admission for chemo.


Happy Valentine's Day.

================================

the one about the second bumper sticker the RV and inheritance...

The one with one more Jay update....

Sheila's email

Feb 10th, '05:

This week has been very busy. I went to work Tuesday and today. Things there are hectic and very busy.
Wednesday, Jay and I went to the hospital for him to have another LP with methotrexate. We will do this again tomorrow. Last night we got home from the hospital at 7:30 PM and we both laid down for a nap and didn't wake up until 7:30 this morning. We really needed the sleep.

Jay is having a rough night tonight , he is feeling very weak and said that his back and arm seem numb. He seems very tired.

My infusion went well on Wednesday. The only side effects were fatigue, a very mild headache and a strange feeling in my muscles. All VERY minor things. I was very happy about it. Sure beats 1 day with the avonex -flu each week. I don't have to have another infusion for 28 days.

Jay is still having trouble talking and the methrotrexate causes him to get easily agitated.
The home nurse is still coming by each day to draw blood.
He wanted waffles with blueberry syrup so I ran by the grocery store on my way home. He ate them then went to sleep.

===================================

Well, Tiffany and I travel tomorrow, one stop in Albq...to do another AI, and then continuing down to Las Cruces, NM to listen to some talks given by the Wesley Foundation students and then back to Santa Fe Sat.

The weather looks like it might not be perfect, so as always I ask to please KUTPs!!!!!!!! Thanks!...and good night/day/weekend!

The one with the first bumber sticker, the prayer for Dog's eyes becoming my life's reality....

The one about a great map program, Jay update, and the start of some fun with pictures....

Well, I was just surfing the other day and I found out that google brought out their beta map program! Now, I am sure that a lot of you have used map programs in the past to get directions to somewhere, or just to see exactly where you live, but I really love the google beta maps! The directions are basic, and the maps are very clear to read, and if you want to move to the right, up, down, or left when you click the button the map (or even just hold the mouse button and move the map around) the map actually shifts to that direction instead of loading another picture of the map (like mapquest.com). It is very interesting...I am sure that there is much more to come since this is a beta, but then is wonderful for now. Still does not have the cool satellite pictures overlaid on top of it or anything like that (like the one I showed a long time ago, but it is a great simple easy to use map web site!

And here it is:

Google Maps

===========================================

Jay Update:

I just got off the phone with Jay and this was the best time I have ever had since the whole thing this Christmas that I could understand what he said and I could tell a noticeable improvement in his voice (the Dr.'s said it would happen, but it is always nice to hear it for yourself) and I asked him about his double vision, and he said that it was getting better very slowly!!!! Great news (that the Dr.'s said would also happen, but once again I am selfish, and I will believe it when I see it)

Jay sad he will continue to get the chemo in his spine this week, and they are still hoping to start the experimental chemo next week. Please pray for them one because we (or maybe I) really want them to start the chemo and get this cancer out and done with! (but never at the cost of hurting Jay.)

It was so good to hear Jay. I have not had a chance t call since the superbowl, and man I wish so much I could just go each weekend and give him a hug, heh. Oh well... Keep it up jay and know we all love and are thinking about you!

===============

Well, yesterday was Ash Wednesday and the Chinese new Year! I guess in China they repent and celebrate, ha ha ha! We had a wonderful evening service and afterwards I went t go eat with a friend and his father! We ate at what I consider to be the best Chinese restaurant in Santa Fe (Little house) and the owners there treat us like kings...maybe because we give them so much business, or not...but they cooked us a special Chinese dinner! It included, filet mignon w/ shrooms, Chilean sea bass, duck, and fresh sweat peas, and oranges to garnish! That food was sooo good! It was amazing......so if anyone out there is Chinese Happy New year and God bless ya!

========================

The one with the Problem of Evil sermon, and a Jay update....

Here is Sheila's latest email:

Feb. 7th, '05 evening:

They decided not to admit Jay. They said his blood work was high but stable and they felt it was very important to more Intrathecal injections of chemo. They did one today and 2 more on Wed and Fri.
So he can stay at home the other days as long as his blood work stays stable.

Jay watched the super bowl in his recliner with my dad and brother while my mom and I cleaned the house.
We are still at the hospital waiting for the usual 3 hours we have to wait until he is cleared to leave after an LP.
We can leave at 6:45.

I'm really too tired to get more detailed or tell any funny stories right now.
I'll write more tomorrow.

Thanks,

Sheila

Oh man, I can't wait for the live action Trogdor movie......Peasant's Quest! (it takes a while to download, so be patient.

The one about a Caleb update, brats, and sermon coming soon....

Well Caleb is home and resting and so is Mom and Dad (I am assuming that last part, heh)

apparently Caleb had a viral infection and the Dr.'s just said that they should keep lots of Tyonal sapository around because they work faster than the liquid. So needless to say lots of fun for little Caleb, heh...man I am glad my mouth is good enough for me, heh.

I hope yall had fun during the super bowl! We had some amazing brats! (simmered in beer and onions for the entire morning!) and lots of fun! I am not a beer lover at al, but oh man what a great flavor and all the alcohol is coked out! Oh man, they were good...probably going to eat them for dinner again to night, heh...look out belly your going to grow! (again...sadly, heh)

No news of Jay as of yet, but I will let you al know if anything comes up and if he started his experimental chemo today!

Well, I am off to Albq. to return a borrowed HDTV receiver from the PBS station for the Super Bowl party last night! Hope yall are all doing well, and I promise to up the sermon on the problem of Evil some time soon! Be looking for it! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers and please keep them going for Jay, Tiffany's Dad, Caleb, and of course Sheila who probably needs to be able to find some sleep sometime through all of this stuff going on around them, heh. Thanks again! and please KUTPs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one about Tiffany's (and my) nephew...........

Tiffany's sister's( Noelle Roberts) baby (Caleb):

Was taken to a hospital last night because of very high temperature 104 degrees. Then (after staying in the hospital all last night and getting his temperature down to normal) Noelle's husband (Craig) went straight to work, and Noelle and the baby went home, and as Noelle was taking a nap with Caleb little Caleb went into a seizure, and they rushed him to the Children's Hospital of Austin there in Austin, TX. We would appreciate any prayer for little Caleb (1 1/2 yrs old).

===========================================

Jay is doing OK I guess. They have finally stabilized his temperature and platelet counts to they are starting his experimental chemo on Monday.

Here is Sheila's latest email:

Feb. 4th afternoon:

Good news and bad news.

The lumbar puncture from yesterday showed cancer cells in the spinal fluid. He is now on his way back down to radiology to have another LP this time they are injecting Methotrexate.
They are going to let him go home but they told me if ANYTHING changes I have to bring him back even if I don't think it's related to the cancer. They are afraid that it will grow to fast. He will be re-admitted on Monday for his full chemo treatment. So, he'll probably be here all of next week.


Good news - hopefully he'll be home for the super bowel.

We'll be home tonight hopefully. (they are home because they called me from the car on their way to their house, because get this.............Jay wanted to hear my voice......yeah that is right....it sent me crying in the Starbuck's bathroom for about 10 mins. heh love you too Jay...

Oh and Sheila sent this email to tell everyone:

I'm trying to do a lot of communicating through MSN messenger if you use it and have a logon or address send it to me and I will add you to my list so if I log on you can contact me. Just another way to help communication

(If you want her email, just email me and I will sent it to you.)

=================================

There are some other family issues going on in Tiffany's family too (her father loosing his job)...And of course please KUTPs for Tiffany and I trying to have a baby..this round was not a success...so we have one more to go before Tiffany and I consider the orthoscopic (sp?) surgery to go in her and see what might be the matter.

========================================

Thank yall for all your prayers! Please feel free to read my blog for updates or call me with any questions.

Please tell me what yall think of the voice blog too. Thanks!

The one that is the first audio blog of many....

The one about Jay getting his adventure and looks like his is on another roller coaster ride...

Here is Sheila's latest

Feb. 3rd, '05:

Cracker Barrel was a success but that's about all he could do. He really enjoyed it. He had the pot roast.

Wednesday when I got home from work yesterday he was feeling really bad. Today, he had a Doctor's appointment at 11:30 and then they sent him for a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and 2 MRI's they were waiting for a neurologist to come see him because he still has the double vision and the severe shoulder pain and I mentioned to the Doctor that I have noticed that he is a having a communication problem. He is have a difficult time finding the right word at times and will substitute a word that doesn't make sense. He also is having trouble getting what he wants to say verbalized. The Doctor also at my urging is sending his MRI's for a second opinion. (I like to have 2 eyes to see MRI's because of them missing my MS in the spine) He agreed to send them off and thought it wasn't a bad idea.

We have to stay here tonight even though they are calling it 24hr short stay observation. The neurologist will be in tomorrow first thing to see him and they may run tests.

I will write more tomorrow. This is the first down moment, I've had all day and I'm exhausted.


Thanks,
Sheila

==========================

Well, I don't like this and I know they don't. I am sure this is especially nerve racking because Jay is one of the smartest people I know and I can not imagine how frustrating it must be to not see correctly and for your speech to be not what you want it to be. I have been praying for Jay a lot more lately and I was not sure why, but now I know. :) ..................................

please



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

========================

I watched Friday Night Lights last night, and it does a good job (a little exaggerated, but what can you expect) about west Texas football. The pressure they showed was extremely true, and the town where I grew up showed a lot more support, instead of pressure on us football players...but the pressure was always there. If anyone wants to know a sample of what west Texas football is like this movie (the book is a lot better of course) then this is a decent one to watch. Of course I was in football later than 1988, but not too much changes in west Texas in 3-7 years, heh. I am sure all you Floydada reads of the blog can understand...but maybe you PA people might not know as much. You NM people probably know quite abit...especially those of you who grew up on a border county and you might as well have been Texans (Cody/ Lovington people) heh heh

The other movie I saw was The Village! I am a lover of M. Night Shyamalan's movies, and this one was a little different, but I like it none the less. His movies are known for their twists and so I will not spoil anything, but I really love a great twist in movies...and I know it would have been much better if I had not read any reviews about it before I watched the movie. With a director/writer...like him it is always better never to read any reviews...because even if they think they are never sharing a spoiler out right...they may hint at it and then it is all messed up from then on, heh. (at least for people with a brain like mine that is constantly asking questions, heh) He is a master @ camera angles and suspense music. He could take Steam Boat Willie and make it suspenseful! ha ha. good flick.......

==============

Well, I must tell you all about Tiffany and I's adventure the other day. Either Monday or Tuesday we got a lot of snow in a little time and I never remember seeing it forecast! I took two of the church's youth out to drink tea at a really cool tea house on Canyon Road here in Santa Fe..after school.
(flash back to the morning)
This morning Tiffany accidentaly ran into my small SUV (Honda CRV) and dented the car right above the front left tire. It is a very big dent. The reason for this is I parked my CRV right in front of the garage (and the front gate) thinking that I was only going to a quick time in my house and then I left it there over night. Now, I thought that Tiffany knew that my car was parked (only about three foot of it) in front of the garage., because she had left earlier that day and came back with out hitting it and saw it just fine. But, this morning, I mentioned that I was sorry about my car being in front of the garage and that I was impressed that she left and came back into the garage with out having to move my CRV.
Apparently, Tiffany took my apology as me saying, "Hey Tiffany I moved my car out of the way from the garage and now you can drive out without looking in your rear view mirror or looking at your side mirrors...or even look out side of the garage when you open it, because I apologize for having my CRV in front of the garage yesterday."
(end of flashback)
Ha Ha... well, a dent in a car is not that big of a deal and in all reality I think it will not cause us to loose our salvation...but man that is frustrating, heh. Ok, well, on Tiffany's behalf, she was sick the day before and that morning, so I guess it could effect her sight and judgment. ;) But then I was heading out to work and I called her cell phone and she had not left for White Rock (where she works) yet and so I met her @ Starbucks (surprise surprise) and had a half of a cup of coffee and sent her on her way. Now, Tiffany told me that she was not feeling good at all, and I told her not to go into work, but she said to me that she would try it and @ noon see if she needed to com home. I told her I thought she did not need to go at all, but reluctantly said OK. (which is normal, heh) Well, she left and right before I went to go get tea (5:00 pm yes, she stayed past noon) with the guys she told me that she was going to stay @ the church through a meeting that lasted until 8:00 pm. Well, I was @ this tea house and while we were there it started to snow.....we really could not see the snow because of the windows being covered in water droplets...(they serve hot tea all day what can you expect condensation will occur, heh.) but one of the guy's parents called and told us that with in the last 30-45 mins. that it had snowed about 2 inches of snow.....now 2 inches of snow is not that much, but when it hits fast and there are no road crews to clean ANY streets in town, because they are focusing on the interstate roads....the roads get snow packed and very bad. I started to get ready to leave trying to hide the fact that we were going to leave as soon as possible, but I immediately called Tiffany to tell her that it snowed a whole lot and not to come to Santa Fe, because the roads were horrible. It took me 2 and 1/2 hrs to drive from the church to my house.......(this normally takes me about 15 mins.) The roads were that bad... I bet I saw at least 10 cars that had driven off into the ditch, and 4 wreaks on the road...on I had to call 911 for because it was blocking both lanes of traffic on Rodeo Road (no one was hurt...they were all going about 5-10 mph, but still it was crazy) I called Tiffany at least 7-8 times leaving messages for her to not come to Santa Fe, the roads were horrible and just to find a church member to spend the night with. but she would never answer her phone and my worst fears of her leaving and getting stuck on the road between Santa Fe and White Rock were flying all over the place) (especially since we had been meaning to buy new tires for her car and had not done so yet) I finally got a hold of her by calling the church office several times until a real person answered the phone (the wonderful new Sr., Pastor) and I asked for tiffany. I finally got Tiffany on the phone and frantically told her all about my calling and how I was going to start a protest that all women's clothing must have a small pocket on it somewhere for cell phones, just in case husbands who love them need to get a hold of them, and they can turn it on Vibrate and put it in their pocket...(not the purse!) heh heh. Well, then Tiffany let me know that she made it home just fine with one of the ladies from the church and the lady lived in Los Alamos (a dangerous trek in snow any direction you go...and they had the same road conditions that we had.... But she made it there just fine and felt really bad with all the worried messages I left on her cell phone.

The next day she decides to tell me that on the drive up to Los Alamos her car spun on the road three times (3 360's) and ran into a snow bank, to stop her spin. Mind you this is the same day of the dent above her tire! And also the same day that I told her to stay home because she was sick!

Well, she waited to drive back home the next day when the roads were good and man, Did we hug like we have not hugged before, heh. It was an adventure and a roller coaster ride for us too Jay!

===================

For all your Treky fans out there I was to send my condolences to you about Enterprise being canceled. it frustrates me because I saw the first show of it just the other night, and I know I would watch a lot more of it if it was not on Friday evenings because I have date night every Friday night! I know I would watch more of it, if I had a Tivo, but I will not buy a Tivo unless it can record HDTV, and right now those are $1000. The only reason I got to see it last week was that I recorded it with the LG HDTV OTa receiver that I am borrowing from the Albq. PBS station for watching the Super Bowl in HDTV on our church projector and my HDTV, heh oh yeah it is going to be fun! But take hope there is the upcoming DVD releases of the shows and I know that Jay will have to own those as well, heh.

===================

Hey here is another alarm clock for Tiffany!!!!!!!!! This one is not as cool as the other one that runs away from you that I posted earlier, but this one requires you to put together a puzzle to get the snooze to work, heh.

Here is the story



=======================

"Remember the Sushi USB drives I loved...well here is something that would be great in my office:



Sushi wind up toys, heh heh. Oh an that is funny! I still need to get one Nunzilla too. It is a wind up Nun that walks and spits out fire, ha ha!



It is not my intention to offend....I have the Jesus and Moses Action figures in my office, heh.

===========================================

Well enough for today, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and that I finish my sermon and somewhere find a date night for my wife in the mix, heh! Thanks for reading this blog, I hope you all enjoy it and that at the very least it helps you pray and keep Jay and Sheila and my family in your thoughts as well as bring a smile to your face.....and who knows...maybe a smile to your soul, heh. :) KUTPs!!!!!!!!!!

One about the great Jay adventure....

It's a plane....it's a bird...it's Jay running people over in a wheelchair! Go get 'um Jay!!!! Take them out and while they are down...ask them if they know Jesus, Ha Ha Ha Ha....just kidding!

(one man's adventure is another man's death toll....It happened one scary day, when a half crazed Cancer killer (well in the process of doing it) decided he was "cooped up" in his home to too long...and his faithful loving wife (might be streching on the love part here...she is putting up with a lot, heh) decided to allow Him to get a wheel chair for "helping him deal with the stresses of life) As he sat done in the wheeled chair of support his eyes gleamed and the chair became one from "support" to racing and of death! He looked for all those who do not give to the Lymphoma society, and those who would rather take up collections and give towards the super bowl gambling pot, heh Ok Ok....... I need to stop it is getting stupid......heh.......well for some of you, heh)

Here is Sheila's latest email:

Feb 1, 05:

Jay has been complaining he wants to get out of the house a bit but the fact that he can barely walk makes it nearly impossible, so today I rented him a wheelchair.
I stopped by a medical supply store and found that the insurance will pay for it as a bonus I had to call Jay's Doctor's office to get a prescription and they were highly supportive of the idea. So it worked out well. He has been spending the past few hours sleeping resting up for his big adventure. It's actually not a bad day today so the last I heard it was between Cracker Barrel and Barnes and Nobel.
Once he wakes up we'll see if he has had a change of mind. I don't expect us to be able to be out very long but I think it will do a lot for his mental status.

This morning he had an eye doctor appointment that took forever. It started at 7:50 AM and I thought we would be safe to have the home nurse come by at 9:30 but 9:30 can and went and they still weren't done with him. We have the BEST home nurse (all of them are great but we love Michelle). Jay's eye appointment was in Greensburg (the far side from our house) and of course at 9:30 I found my cell phone to be out of juice so I got in the car and drove to my house to let her know that he would be late. She was so nice, she followed me back to the Doctor's office and drew his blood there for him and it was great. It was such a big help. We appreciate her so much.

The doctors appointment really didn't tell us anything. They said his eye should heal with time and Jay wasn't happy with that answer but there's not much either of us can do. We were lucky because this Doctor could have been all the way in Pittsburgh but he does a rotation here in Greensburg so it was great. This is the same Retinal specialist that saw him at West Penn. He still has some hemorrhaging but he said it is getting better.

Well, I have to prepare for Jay's big adventure tonight. I'll let you know how it goes.

Take care everyone,

Sheila

========================

Back with more, but those of you who live in PA be on guard....especially if you are @ a Cracker Barrel or Barnes N Noble! Ha Ha...... Oh man, I might even get a phone call from Jay for those post, heh.

Please everyone KUTPs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It is obvious they are working....but please keep telling everyone about Jay for the prayers and thoughts! Thanks!

The one about big Jay update...cool keyboard...and new Strong Bad....

Here is the latest on Jay from Sheila:

Jan 31st evening:

Jay is still at home but still can't talk. His voice doesn't seem to want to clear up. His fever is gone but he is still on the IV antibiotics at home. He is also taking his Lovenox injections nightly anytime his platelet-count it above 50,000. He has been stabilized in the 60,000's for the past week without transfusions. He is extremely tired and weak. We took him to the Doctor today and he said the steroids are making him weak. I have to take him to the eye Doctor tomorrow to find out if they can figure out why he still has double vision.

Oh, what a morning...
This morning I got up to take him to the Doctor. We had to leave by 7:30 to get there and I had to pack all of his stuff in the car in case they kept him at the hospital.
Once I got everything packed I found out my car battery was dead. I went to get Jay's car and I couldn't find his keys. I searched for over an hour and finally found the keys in the place I put them so that I wouldn't loose them. When I got out to the car which hasn't been driven since Dec and is more than 10 years old, I prayed that it would start. It started but then I found that it had 2 inches of ice all over the car.
So instead of scraping all of the ice and snow which was not going so well, I decided to jump my other car but once I got it positioned I realized the hood was frozen shut and I couldn't get it open.
Through all of this, I had to take Jay back in the house to wait because it was too cold for him to be in the car. I then moved all of the luggage from my car to his car and loaded him in.
I forgot the little fact of not have 4 wheel drive in Jay's Buick to get of the driveway I haven't shoveled in 2 months. It was an adventure that Brian Boitano would have been proud of but in a buick it was interesting to say the least. Somewhere in the middle of all of this, I did manage to call the Doctor's office and tell them we were going to be late.

We arrived at 10:45 for a 9:00 appointment and (God has a way on making things workout in the end) we found his Doctor had just arrived. He was late too. So actually we were just on time.
It took us a while to finish up and then I picked up Mexican food (he finally got his guacomole) and doughnuts for Jay (Those steroids have REALLY helped his appetite, I know I've got a few pounds that are steroid induced).

When we got home I hung his antibiotic and did some phone calls to clear up medical appointments and orders.

Tonight, I'm doing work and he's watching James Bond and CSI between naps. It's nice to see him rest.

Update on me...
My mom is coming to stay with him on Wednesday so that I can go to work. I'm trying to do one day a week in the office as long as he's not in the hospital. I have my first infusion on Feb 9th of that new MS drug and I was lucky my insurance covered on the first request. I'm officially released from my 1 and ¼ weekly needle and loosing one weekend day to sickness. That made me VERY happy.

Take care everyone,

Sheila
-----------

I talked to Jay and Sheila today and it was a good talk! Jay was doing good..or as he put it "Same old same old"....and then we had a good talk about snow, my dog, and praying for each other...good times!

================================

Well it has been a few weeks since we got a new SB email and I thought I would make sure you all knew there was a new one:

origins

=============================

Well today was a very full day for me.....I first took my dog Halo to get put under and they checked and cleaned out his left ear....apparently it was clogged completely with ear wax from a certain point al the way to his ear drum! They cleaned it all up and found nothing, but we have changed his dog food from something bought at the store to Fish and Potatoes food! (the Vet thinks the yeast ear wax is probably cause by a food allerrgy (sp?) and most of the time it is the protein in the food that he might be allergic too...so instead of chicken/pork/beef (commonly found protien in most store bought dog foods) Halo is now chomping on fish and chips.... he seems to like it great....and then always proceeds to lick me all over my forehead and you can just imagine fish and chips dog breath on your forehead! yeah....not the most pleasant thing on earth!....but hey who cares when a creature loves you this much, heh.

Halo is still not good-ol-Halo yet still coming out of the drugging of him...he sleeps a lot and one thing kind of disturbing is that he is sleeping with one of his eyes open now..... We are hoping that it is because of the Vet visit today....but I guess I might sleep with one eye open too if I thought that people might put me under again, heh heh...(Jay I bet you have never felt like that before? ha ha ha)

After the dog, Tiffany and I went for her to get a blood test to find out we are not pregnant (this is getting annoying...but we are find and hanging in there, please KUTPs!)

Then it was off to meet with my weekly pastor accountability group and we discussed my sermon on Sunday (The Problem of Evil...be looking for it right here same D-time same D-channel (instead of bat it is D short for D.G. <----the proceeding note is for those invidiculas who do not understand my humor and need explination which then takes away any hint of humor in the end...thanks to all of you out there, heh) it is going to be a doosy...especially since we are having communion that day too.....kind of wired since the communion sermons have less time because of communion.....and I am supposed to tackle the problem of Evil....you know that tiny subject that no one really cares about (insert VERY sarcastic voice here) heh...but it should be good and I am being challenged in writing it.....(as always and so I know it will have a piece of me in it somewhere) (Soul preaching Dr. Kalas....Soul Preaching) Then I left to go take care of my wife who was in bed sick......and fed her lunch and right after that the Vet called to say Halo was ready for pickup (it is 2:00 pm now) and after getting Halo and listening to a VERY detailed description of what was done to Halo..I took him back home only to remember that Halo had to be watched for 1-2 hrs after the drugs to make sure he was not vomiting) I thought to myself well this will be Ok and I can finally get to work, because Tiffany is home sick and she can watch/sleep beside him......well great news from Tiffany when I got back she got a Dr. appt. for 4:00 pm so I was left staying home watching a dog and working on a sermon from home.....(I bet people at work think I am never there...oh well I serve God 1st and foremost and I know if I am slacking and I know that today I was serving God the entire day, heh....Well Tiffany got back...(she is fine by-the-way probably a flu that they could do nothing for)...but Tiffany is still very tired and not feeling 100%) Then I helped Tiffany cook or dinner (it was so great Tiffany thank you thank you thank you!!!!) and we enjoyed EveryBody Loves Raymond (you better watching as much as you can of this one they are on thier last season!!!), Two and a Half Men (great theme song), and Medium (really good one tonight)...all in HD I might add, heh)

And now I find myself here typing on a computer for too long while I should be in bed with my wife....and that sounds so good to me right now that I am going to go right now......







..........................well, let me finish the blog post and then go............:)
==========================

Well here is a cool Bluetooth vitrtual keyboard if I ever seen one before (insert country hick accent here)



iTECH Keyboard

OK, I thought it was cool enough to put it on the blog, and now I am done yall have a wonderful night/day and God bless!
