The Latest

Updated by Matt:
We first wanted to thank all of you for the love, support, gifts, etc. that you have sent our way. We're very fortunate to have people like you in our lives.
Jessica's been in the hospital since New Year's Eve due to decreased kidney and liver functioning. She was pretty disoriented, weak, and her eyes had turned a little yellow when I took her in. The've been rehydrating her to help flush the toxins out of her body. She also received blood platelets and a blood transfusion. Her oncologist wants to start her on a new chemotherapy treatment, but her counts are still too low. Hopefully, she'll be able to start in a day or two and that this will be the chemo that works. The doctor thinks that she'll probably need to stay in the hospital until Thursday.
Oh, I almost forgot...Disneyland was great! Harper had a terrific time and Jessica showed a lot of heart by gathering up all the strength she could each morning so that we could share that time as a family. It was great having our friends Tim, Kara, Ellie, and Andy there with us.
Thanks again for all your support. Jessica or I will try to update soon.
