On March 21st Jessy went to Baptist Hospital for her 6 month MRI. She went early morning and went with an extremely positive attitude. She took her Ipod and set it up to hear all her favorite music while she had the MRI done. Believe it or not Jessy fell asleep in the MRI machine, incredible! It went smooth and after being there for about 2 hours she was ready to go home and get into her own bed. Her appointment with the Neurologist is April 8th but of course her parents were definitely not waiting that long for results. So on Friday, March 25th Jessys mom called the Neurologist's office and left a message for the doctor. She did recieve a call at the end of the day, it was the best news she would hear, Jessys MRI came back normal with no recurrence of the tumor. Now they would all be able to enjoy their weekend in peace knowing that everything is normal and no tumor in sight!!
The Dizzy Test that Jessy took back in February she hasn't been able still to get the results because her doctor has been out of the office in emergencys. But getting the results of the MRI pretty much answers the question to the Dizzy Test.
The Make a Wish did contact Jessy to advise her that the meet with the Jonas Brothers would take longer than expected and if she wanted to change her wish. Of course, being that Jessy adores Nick Jonas, there would be no chance of that happening. She'd rather wait to meet them than have any other wish. Will keep you informed if theres any change.
Jessy will start on April 5th back in school for a few hours. Something shes really looking forward to. She'll be able to socialize with her friends again and get out of the house everyday for a few hours. She will still have the Homebound teacher still coming to the house twice a week.
All we can say is that everything is looking very good and it will continue!

Update on Doctor Appt.
Hi everyone just alittle update on whats been going on with Jessy! She hasn't gotten yet her results on the Dizzy Test they did on her a few weeks ago. She'll be going tomorrow 03/10/11 to see her ENT for the results of the Dizzy Test.
Jessy had the appointment with the Bascom Palmer Opthomologist on Friday, 03/04/11 and they did various test on her. The doctor did say that it seems that Jessy 6th Nerve (which is the one that moves the eye from side to side on the left side) it seems to be coming back as Jessy is now able to move her eye more than before. Her 7th Nerve (which is the one that helps with the blinking of the eye) still has not had much progress. But nothing to get down about within time she should be having some movement on that eye, as she also is starting to move her mouth more and more. She needs to continue her face exercises every day to see more and more progress. He was able to do an eye exam on the left eye (remember her eye is shut 75% she has 25% open to be able to check the cornia) and Jessy did very well. Her eye sight on the left eye was an 80. The doctor says she probably can see even better once the eye is opened.
Yesterday 03/08/11 Jessy had the appointment with the Pediatrician just for a regular check up as she goes to him every month. Jessy was not expecting for him to give her 3 vaccinations that she had not been given last year because of the operation. It was a tough moment as she definitely DOES NOT LIKE SHOTS!! After almost 30 minutes of trying to convince her she finally gave in and had her shots. This vaccination is necessary for the return to school as she is a 7th grader. Hopefully Jessy will be attending school the last 9 weeks for a few hours a day and she will continue the Homebound school twice a week.
Make a Wish foundation still has not been able to set a date for her meeting with the Jonas Brothers, as said before they are not on tour so it makes it alittle more difficult. But we should be hearing something soon.
On March 21st Jessy will have her 2nd MRI done just to follow up and make sure everything is fine. The results will be a week later. Will keep you posted on the results! We know it WILL be good!!
Will keep you informed of the results of the Dizzy test and if Make a Wish calls!
