Joey & Grandpa Mitch with his first deer Oct. 2007
Joey Wynn was diagnosed with leukemia (AML) on August 25th, 2001. He spent several months at Children's Hospital in Seattle for treatment, which included a bone marrow transplant he had late December 2001. (THANKS TO BROTHER LOGAN!)
Joey was in remission until November 14th, 2002. He returned to Seattle for treatment & had his second BMT in January of 2003. Joey is currently in remission and continues outpatient treatment through Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
Check back again soon as we'll keep updates on Joey's progress posted on the website.

Sunday, April 27, 2008 2:06 PM CDT GREAT NEWS..............JOEY TURNED 12 YEARS OLD TODAY!!!!
I have been so bad about signing in I don't even know if anyone stops by anymore. We are so blessed to be seeing Joey turn 12, seven years of watching him go through hell on earth and fighting the biggest battle of his life, more than any of us, most of us will ever have to face.
He is out with Grandpa sighting in his new gun that grandpa put a new scope on for his birthday, he aced hunters safety and can now officially become a Montana Sportsman.
He struggles in school so we worried about him passing the quiz on hunters safety, he aced it, so we know now that he can do it if it means alot to him.....which mean he could do better in school. He does have trouble retaining and remembering things.......
He is taking warm pool therapy to strenghten his spine and his weak bones, he likes it alot. He is also growing on his own so growth hormones may not be necessary or will be delayed, that is great news also.
The boys are also playing baseballs, three boys on three different teams sometimes playing at the same time means a mean scramble for mom and dad to be in all places at the same time.
I should write more, but I just wanted to take the time to announce a birthday that means so much to all of us, we are so blessed and happy to have Joey here with us, there were times and days when we didn't know if it was going to happen, we're taking it......thank you God.
