My Story

In September 2005 Jackson was diagnosed with a very rare pediatric cancer called Rhabdoid Tumor of the Kidney. Over a six month period Jackson endured 8 cycles of intense chemotherapy and 11 rounds of radiation. Despite experiencing severe mucositis and intensitnal complications, Action Jackson successfully completed his treatment on March 14, 2006!

We celebrated Jackson's 5th birthday this weekend.  We were blessed with wonderful weather and lots of good times.  Saturday night we had a bbq with friends and neighbors.  Sunday afternoon Jackson's school buddies came over for his treasure themed party.  Jackson had a blast bouncing himself to exhaustion with his friends in the bouncy house.   Today he had his Birthday Circle at his preschool.   He is so proud to be 5! I posted a few photos from the festivities.  (Unfortunately, looking at the camera and smiling for photos is a thing of the past with the main man these days).
