  Well thats that….after a wonderful weekend in Albany we returned to Burlington for a reboot and to pack up and start the next leg of our trip….we had to see Annies doctor and nurse to get the final ok for launch and we were denied….Annies oxygen level is now to low to fly on an airplane so we have to cancel the rest of our trip…it is very disapointing to us both…we were looking forward to seeing as many of our family and friends that we could…. sorry to all

  Well folks….we had a meeting with Annie’s doctors on the 9th…. due to some different kind of pains Annie had been having over the last couple of weeks they did a CAT scan last week…the results came back….the cancer is still growing and the chemo had not been working as we had hoped…. so what now….. after the last round of chemo and as hard as it was on Annie and her body…she is now done with chemo…. Prayers are always welcome and if you want to send Annie a personal message we are using………

Jim and Annie

Well Dr. Wong has decided that since Annie’s cancer marker numbers are slowly coming down….we are going to wait for 3 more months before we do a CAT scan….If you have never had a scan before they can be an ordeal and Annie is thrilled that we can wait and encouraged at the same time…..

Annie had her 3rd chemo now today….everything seems to have gone well…we did get some encouraging news today also….the CA125 test…..this is the marker for the cancer growth….declined for the first time since Annie was rediagnosed….over 2 years…..she will have another CAT scan here in about 3 weeks to get a good understanding on the progress the we are hopefully making……

Annie is back in the hospital.  She has been running a temperature and may have an infection.  We will find out more soon.  She may have to stay just 1 night or for the weekend. More to come.

Jason and Mary Graham adopted twins back in April….they have had a few issues but Jason reports all are home and doing well…..

This is a picture of Tyler in goal….he also scored a goal in this game…..

So far so good, Annie is now 3 days past her last chemo and she seems to be doing ok….she is still real tired and such, but no real nausea issues yet….we are keeping our fingers crossed…..peace for now
