Hello everyone! We have had a few people suggest we create some sort of website to keep people updated on how Jack is doing. In the whirlwind of the past few days, I have struggled to find time (let alone remember) to keep everyone in the loop, so this should make it a bit easier. Please pass this URL on to anyone who may not know about it and wants info on Jack's progress. I will try to update this site as often as possible, or as anything changes. Thank you for your support!

Days 3 and 4

Jack finished up his last dose of Daunorubicin, and the doctors decided to give him the extra dose since he has been handling it so well. For the rest of the week, he will just be getting the Ara-C. He says he is still feeling great.
He has been keeping up with his biking, trying to create a new personal best every day. If you are curious, his current record is 5 miles in 14 minutes and 20 seconds, but he will surely try to beat that tomorrow. He also wanted to say, "Anyone who wants to get their butt kicked can come challenge me."
His dad was able to get a pair of glasses made and they should be here this afternoon. Jack's boss also stopped by yesterday to discuss things that Jack can do from here to log some hours and stay busy. He also brought a Dallas Cowboys pillow pet for Jack, even though he said it burned his hands while he was holding it (his boss is an Eagles fan)
Once Jack can see, we will hook up an Xbox for him, get a cribbage board in here and watch a movie or two (or three, or four). In the meantime, we will keep having bicycle races and looking forward to the end of his chemo!

    Sounds like you're doing great on the bike. I hope you let Emily on it so she can keep in shape and keep up with you when you're out of there.

    Wow Jack! That is a super time! I'm glad you are feeling well throughout this. It sounds like you will be keeping busy, now that you have your glasses. I love the picture of you and your pillow pet. You do a great job of keeping us informed Emily. Thank you!
