Hello Everyone,

Today is 519 ...

It is my once every six month entry. Dave always keeps the site updated so when I have something to say he makes me update.

First of all, our summer is starting out great. Sarah and Rebekah are involved in Jr. Golf and swim lessons. Jacob and I get to watch. We are hoping that the girls will become good swimmers as they are enjoying it so much (the same with golf). We seem to have something to do every day. Dave is continuing to Golf daily and I manage to get out 1-2 times a week. I am also enjoying softball again this summer, although I did sprain my ankle so I am taking easy this week.

On Friday of this week Jacob will be participating in the Relay for Life. This is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. People put together teams and walk the track all night. Jacob will walk the first lap with SURVIVORS. Jacob will be on a team called Strike Out Cancer with Ben and Courtney Martinez. After dark, candles are lit in luminaria bags in memory of those who have lost their battle with cancer and in honor of those who continue the fight. It is a small donation to have one lit, so if anyone out there wants to light one up, please let me know. We are also accepting any donations for Jacob's team. Call Mary at 303-469-6383 if you have any questions.

Thank you,

The Cohen Family

Once again it has been a long time since I have updated Jacob's page. It has been another hard day for Jacob. We found out earlier today that Jacob has eye disease that could possibly cause blindness called retinitis pigmentosa. He is not seeing out of his right eye from what we can tell and not sure how well the Left eye is but we know he is still seeing colors and enjoys watching Barney. Later on in the afternoon Jacob's heart rate started to drop and his blood presure went up. The doctors immediately did a cat scan. He has a bleed on the brain. We have to wait this one out to see if it takes care of itself. It would hurt him more to do any kind of surgery. They think it will resove on its own. Jacob still isn't moving much on his right side and for the next couple of days we will hold off on his therapy until we know a little more. He is starting to get bed sores and must be very uncomfortable. Aunt Rebecca and Aunt Laurie have been able to make him smile and perform simple comands so this is a good sign. We are all tired. My mom and dad will come out this week to help out with the girls. They still need a lot of attention and are affected by all this. Thanks for all the prayers and help from all our friends and family. We appreciate all the messages in the guestbook.

Mary, Dave, Sarah, Rebekah and Jacob

Today was a very tough day.. Jake has had several Challenges.. He has suffered a small bleed in the brain from his stroke.. The good news is the Pressure is Fine on the Brain.. It should Take Care of itself in a couple of days- .It is Like having a Bruise after getting hit in Your arm - a couple of days later - a Bruise pops up.. We also learned that Jake may have an eye disease .. It could impair his sight or he could even loose his sight some day.. He also could not - They did an EKG and that shows some small changes to his heart.. They feel that this was small.. So as you can see The Boat has not settled yet.. I know that it must turn soon and Things will get Better.. We are so lucky to Have all of our friends and Family.. They have all answered the bell.. Most of all - Mary has been a Champion.. This is really hard for a Mom & a Dad to Go Through.. My wife his my best friend and she is the Best Mom any child could ever have... Please stay Strong Mary , I love you - It will turn . I just know it will.. The Lord's Got it and we just need to let him do his Magic !!
Please keep this Family high on your Prayer list...

Good Morning Everyone,

Dave is golfing this morning so I decided to perform my every six month update. Jacob was a little fussy yesterday so Dave suggested we drop by a blood sample to check his counts. After paying a visit to many of Jacob's past nurses, doctors and staff members we returned to clinic to find out that Jacob's red blood cells and plateletts were find but that his potasium level was high and out of the normal range. They quickly did an ekg to make sure that his heart was not affected (ekg was fine). We then had to give him some oral medicine so that his body could get rid of the potasium (40 ml of not so tasty brown medicine) Jacob did good and we were on our way soon after that. We also gave him lasik at home to help. Dave took down another blood sample this morning and Jacob's potasium is back down. We will continue to monitor the level over the next couple of days. Sarah and Rebekah are enjoying school and we are getting back into a normal routine. Bekah started gymnastics at school and loves it already. Sarah will start "Mad Science" at school on Tuesday as her extra activity. Dave and I will golf tomorrow with neighbors Scott and Kim while Jessie and Donnie com over to babysit. Have a great weekend!

Love,
Mary

Hello Everybody,

Well, once again it has been a long time since I have posted. The Good News is Jacob's scans are clean!!!! We now have to wait till next week for the MIBG scan, but the bone scan and cat scan looked good today. I had a great time attending my 20 year High School Reunion and I want to thank Dave for sending me to Florida and for doing such a great job at taking care of the kids. I had a wonderful time in Orlando with my sisters and got to see a lot of old High School friends. Thanks to Tara for doing such a good job at organizing our events. We just got home a few minutes ago in time to beat a hard rain and thunderstorm. Our friend Gage Edwards had his MRI today and he also had clean scans!! Thanks to Jesse for watching the girls today. Tomorrow we should be able to settle back into a normal routine, if you can call our life normal.
Love,
The Cohens

2nd Update for today. We did not get to come home today. Maybe Tuesday. Jacob has cat scans and bones scheduled for Monday. We need to stay a couple more days to still work on Jacob's blood pressure. Today it went the other direction and was too low. It is just a juggling act to make all the medicine just right. Jacob gets to get out on pass tomorrow, so maybe we will go to a park and enjoy the beautiful weather we are having. He needs to get out of his little hospital room. Sarah and Rebekah got to play with their cousin Morgan, Aunt Rebecca and Aunt Laurie today, I think they wore them out. They claim that their kids never had that much energy, but I think they have a little memory loss. The girls are sad that Jacob didn't get to come home and they both miss him. Goodnight!

They want that down below 400.. 55 is Normal.. This will take up to 8 weeks to get back to Normal... His Bili Rubin is now 1.7 - 1.2 is normal....

His Blood Pressures were very good.. They are going to try to switch to an oral medicine that we can go home on for His Blood Pressure...

They must make a decision on the Dose of medicine on his shingles.. They have been popping out in & out on his little body.. I think they will decide on that today..

We asked the Doctors if we can Do Jake's scans this week as we get closer to his 100 days.. He though that Might be a good idea..

Good Morning Everyone,

I don't think I have posted in over 4 months. Dave is always the one to keep Jacob's web site updated. I want to thank Dave for the wonderful Christmas for me and the kids. I also want to thank Dave for his help, love and support. We have been having a hard time with Jacob at night. He is getting the hang of a bottle, but he is up almost every hour. We are not sure how to get him sleeping better. The times when I don't think I can do this another day Dave keeps us going. So, Thank you Dave and I love you! We had a nice dinnner last night at Children's Hospital thanks to Dave, Ben and the Outback! I hope everyone there enjoyed it like we did.

The girls are having a stay home today again since we don't have to go to the doctor today. I am going to try to find room for all the new toys.

Thanks everyone for all the support.

Love,

Mary

Jake had a very good day yesterday!! We are going to the clinic today to get his Blood Counts.. Jake has gone 5 days after chemo without a fever.. It usually takes around 4 to 5 more days to have his Blood Counts come back to Normal..

Jake slept until around 3 A.M. - Then we went for Ride in the Van. We Came back around 4 am and He slept until 7:00 am.. to day we should get back one test that hopefully will show that the tumors are shrinking.. The Tumors put off something in the urine that is Called a Tumor Marker.. Jake's were very elevated @ his diagnosis... We pray that they are going down..

That would comfirm that the Tumors are
shrinking.... Please keep the Prayers Strong for Jake.... I really feel that we are going in the right direction to beat this cancer..

Jacob had a great night. He only woke up a couple of times but went right back to sleep. The nurse was very quiet so that helps alot. Jacob is eating oatmeal and teddy grahams for breakfast and seems to be in a great mood. His chemo didn't start until 2:30 pm yesterday so he will have a full day by this afternoon.
Dave will be down around 1:00 to take a turn with Jacob and I will stay the night with the girls.
Everyone here thinks Jacob looks better than he did when he was in for his first round.
Thanks again for all the messages it is good support for us.

Hello family and friends,

I am now able to update the site from the hospital now. Jacob had another tough night. He had a fever around midnight, so we didn't get to sleep until 1:00 am but he slept pretty good after that. Jacob's blood pressure is pretty high so it sounds like they are going to put him on medicine for that. It has to do with the mass putting pressure on his kidney.

I am going to take the girls to the Rockies game with my friend Gayle and Dave is going to stay the night with Jacob.

He is starting to feel a little better. He smiled for me today. He is still not eating to well, but that is normal. His counts are on their way back up but they are
going to give him platelets today.

I had better run, Jacob is getting fussy.

Love,

Mary, Dave, Sarah, Rebekah and Jacob

Hello everybody,
Thanks for all the responses and prayers for Jacob. We had a tough night with Jacob last night. His fever spiked but only to 102 but I think he had the chills and that kept me awake, plus envionmental services was stripping the wax and re-waxing the floors around midnight last night. Needless to say, it was a loud night. Jacob didn't sleep to well, so I didn't get to sleep until 5:45 am.

We are happy to report some good news. We heard back on Jacob's N-myc report which was non-amplified (this has to do with a repeating gene) which is good for long term prognosis. He also had his MIBG scan this morning which didn't show any addional cancer that we didn't know about. The other good news is that the Doctors have been feeling Jacob's abdomen and think the mass is shrinking already.

Dave is at the hospital with Jacob right now and I just called the nurse and she said that they were both snoozing. He should have his blood transfusion soon.

We are learning more and more and how he will react to each treatment and what to expect. So far everything seems to be going just like the doctors anticipated.

Love,

Mary, Dave, Sarah, Rebekah and JACOB
