I had sat down before and wrote a long update but the computer ate it when I went to post it, so I will try again.

I did get Jacey to the doctor and was not very surprised when the doctor said that yes both of her eardrums had ruptured. She is on meds to help them heal and is no longer having any pain. The hardest part of it all is that her ears must stay 100% dry until they are completely healed. This has made washing her hair a ton of fun.

Monday Jacey and I headed to the doctor to get her stitch out. I couldn't believe that it was only one but that was it. Her spot is gone and in its place is a line that is about 2 inches long. Jacey said she likes the scar better than the spot. The doctor also told us that the report showed no sign of cancer! This is wonderful news. The doctor said that the spot was most likely caused by the chemo (big shock). It was best that we had it removed because even though it was not cancer now it could have been in the future. I am so very happy that it is gone! I have posted pictures of the spot finally so if you never got to see it it is in the gallery now.

Jacey got to go with Phil up to see her cousins this past weekend. She had a really nice time. It is good for her to get to spend time with Phil for the long car ride there. It has been sometime since she had been up to see them.

Jacey has been in remission for 22 months now. She does not have an appointment at the clinic until next month. They will be running every test possible to see if she has any late effects that have just not been major enough to show up yet. I must say that I would rather just skip the whole thing. I don't need to hear that chemo has done anything else to her poor body. We have been very lucky as far as major organ damage has went. There was a time that I never thought her kidneys and lung would ever recover. I am glad to be past all of that and off all of the meds. She has a rather long list of things she wants to talk to the doctors about. Meaning that she will look at me and have me tell them. She will be seeing a new team of doctors this time. She is not often fond of new doctors.

Justin decided to get sick this past weekend and he is now on several different meds but was able to get back to school today. I have paperwork laying on my desk for his surgery that I need to get filled out. It is not looking good that it is going to get done. His dad has again changed jobs and this means new insurance again. I am waiting for him to call me with the new insurance info so I can see if I can get them to push the approval through. Once I call the doctor with this information they will instantly take him off of the schedule so I am trying to prevent that from happening. I wish I had pushed Justin more to have it done over winter break but at the same time I understood that he didn't want to it done then. If it doesn't get done now Justin is going to be VERY upset because we will have no choice but to push it back until summer and then he will be looking at a whole summer with out being able to swim because he has to keep it dry for 6-8 weeks. It also just makes it hard to work it around his vacation schedule with Gramma & his dad.

There are a few new pictures in the gallery other than the one of her spot. I have a few more that I am needing to get put up but have not yet found the time to do so yet.
