Journal entry by Hollie Henderson —
It’s been a while since the last update. Currently, Jerry is scheduled to begin Chemotherapy on March 3rd. In the last few weeks, he’s had esophagus dilation procedures done to widen the esophagus to allow Jerry to eat better, and allow him to gain weight faster. He still had the G-Tube for additional nutrition until he stabilizes his weight gain.
We are working to plan a Trivia Night for later this Spring. We also will be opening up Team Jerry T-Shirts again this coming week. We will have a new T-shirt provider due to ongoing issues with the one that is doing the first orders. Cost will stay the same but we will get them much quicker as it’s someone in my office that has the T-shirt business. For those that ordered them the first go around, I’m being told they will be ready this week.
My dear sister-in-law, Maria, has been amazing through all of this, and has never left Jerry’s side. If you click on the drop down box and click on “Ways to Help”, Maria created a Go Fund Me to help with the mounting medical costs they are incurring, and will continue to incur is Jerry continuous his battle to beat cancer.

Anything is greatly appreciated no matter how small. But if you cannot give, your prayers and sharing this page would mean a lot.
love & blessings to all,
Hollie
