Jack had another appointment today with the clinic at the hospital to check his levels and it went great!  All blood levels were up and his ANC (immunity level) was up over 3,500….th

Well we knew the time would come for us to shave Jack’s head, but we didn’t know it would happen so soon!  Jack’s curly blonde hair started to fall out yesterday and today we decided it would be a better idea if we took him down to get his head shaved.  He did better than we did!  He laughed the whole time and thought it was no big deal.  When we asked him where his hair went he said, “It all went away!”  He is just the most handsome little boy.  With his shaved head, he looks like he did when he was little since it took him so long to even get hair.

Since Jack has been feeling so good, we also ventured out to the park this afternoon which he just loved. Getting out into the fresh air and sunshine alone was well worth the trip.

Hi everyone.  Stacey here!  Laurie’s laptop has decided it doesn’t want to live anymore, so she asked me if I would update the journal for her.

Jack had a doctors visit today.  We were vere excited to learn that his levels were up, as was his immunity.  His blood counts however, were a little low, so the doctor decided to give him some blood as a booster.

Laurie tells me that Jack has been feeling great and acting pretty much like a 2 year old kiddo should.  He loves Braden, and in fact on the way out of the doctor today, he announced to all that would listen, “I’m outta here, I’ve got to go see Braden”.

Also, she was told that his next chemo treatment will be on an outpatient basis.  This is so wonderful, as it means he gets to stay at home and in his own bed, where he belongs.

We are so thankful to all of the support that has been shown.  I know that it means the world to Laurie and Zac and also to the rest of us.

And now!  We have some exciting news to let you all know about!  On April 10th from 2:00 to 6:00, we will have a “Shave-Off for Jack” benefit event that will be held at Loco Patron Scottsdale.

Jack had his dr’s appointment today back at the clinic at the hospital to check his levels after having his chemo treatment.  We expected them to be low, and they were, so we had to stay for a little bit so he could get a platelet transfusion.

After over 2 weeks in the hospital, we were able to come home yesterday in time to celebrate Zac’s birthday. It was pretty much the best birthday present that Zac could have wished for. Jack has been in a great mood since we have been home and is having so much fun playing with all his new toys. I swear, this little boy has so many new toys that we just don’t know what do to with them all. In the picture, he has a Thomas the train sticker on his nose…thanks Aunt Stacey!

We love being home as a family and you can tell that Jack loves being back. He is so loving to Braden and to everyone that is here with him. Nikki has been here for the past couple of weeks and I am not sure what we would have done without her here. Jack loves having her around and we do too!!
