To my Packer friends,

My great nephew(who is 2 years old)was just diagnosed with Burkett's lymphoma. He has had one surgery already and the doctors hope they removed all the cancer.

They are running tests and setting up a schedule for chemo and such tonight.

His dad(my neice married him) is a huge Bears fan, and we of course go at it in a very fun way every year.

I have posted a link below where you can go to sign Jacksons guest list and post a comment.

I would deeply appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to let them know that The Packer nation is behind them.

Thanks again...here is the link

Come on Packer fans.. lend your keyboard for a few moments to drop a little note on this little guys page.. I am sure his family could use all the kind words through this.

I tried, I really did, but I don't know what to put down there. I'll give it another couple of hours of thinking, but I will sign that guestbook.

Thanks to everyone who has signed Jack's guest book, his father(Jeremy) is a writer for our local paper, and is keeping everybody updated with a journal, I am going to post the link to his journal pieces here just to let everyone know how much it is appreciated.

Here is some updated info: I recieved this morning, the surgical team made their rounds, Jack is going to have his pic line,his bone marrow, and spinal tests today as well as a cat scan, going to be a long day for the little guy, but I am told he is taking it all in stride and putting up the good fight.

Please keep the guest book signings going, I can't tell you how much Jack and family appreciate everyones support.

Thanks again...AW/TD

+1 to you and 4PackGirl for posting.. Jules thinks I didn't see her sneak in and post some kinds words. 😉

Go here  to add your name to the national bone marrow donor registry. I did so back when I was in the army, and while I've never been contacted to donate, I take pleasure in knowing I may have the opportunity to do so someday.

Be the Match

Thanks again everyone for all the support. Just thought I would give some updated information on Jacks progress.

Yesterday Jack had a spinal tap, doctors took bone marrow for testing, and if I read right another little piece of bone for testing. He also had a port inserted getting prepared for chemo therapy.

The little guy is getting through this but I think he inherited some of my side of the families tempor, as he got angry as they were preparing him for all the tests, he ripped the tube out of his nose, the doctors later determined that it would be best to just leave it out.

Today at 1pm Jack is scheduled for a Ct and an EKG, we should have some preliminary results tomorrow and full results of all tests on Tuesday.

I have not been able to talk with my Niece and nephew in person as they have been in Columbus and I am stuck in Lima.

I just can't say it enough how much the guestbook signings mean to them, I am so overwhelmed that as I go through the guestbook, that members of this forum keep showing up, thanks for the support it means everything right now.

Everybody is staying positive, and Jack has showed he is a real fighter, thanks again for taking the time to share a few encourageing words.

THIS WEBSITE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!!!!

The poor little guy doesn't understand what's happening to him. Can't BLAME him for being upset. All he knows is that it hurts.
Someday, he will be able to read all the entries, and he will know that people all over the world were pulling for him!

Just a quick update, things are going well, Jack and family got to come home for the holiday weekend, we are having a party for him tomorrow(memorial day).

Jack is scheduled to starte his chemo treatments this coming wednesday and thursday, hopeully he will only have to do a minimum number, time will tell.

The family, with the help of a lot of people like yourselves, are keeping a very positive attitude, thank you all again.

I guess if you want to put it in football terms, we won the first quarter, and are heading into the second with a lot of confidence.

Looking foward to tomorrow, getting together with the whole family, and will keep updating here.
