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!

ENT Doctor and Exams

So Jessy went to see her ENT Doctor last Tuesday for the follow up on her left ear. They did the hearing test again and no luck Jessy has no hearing on the left ear. But the right ear is 100% good. This is nothing that will stop Jessy or put her down. Her singing classes still are going on and the hearing hasn't affected her in anyway.

She does continue having dizzy spells so on Tuesday, Feb. 15th Jessy will have a 2 hour exam to determine if the dizziness is produced from the good ear or from the Brain tumor surgery that she underwent. We'll keep you posted on this.

We're still waiting word from the Make a Wish Foundation on when and where Jessy will be meeting The Jonas Brothers. She counts the days for this to happen.

Jessy and her family joined the 5K walk/run for Make a Wish Foundation in Weston. It was an incredible feeling to see so many people out there and doing this for such an important cause.
We hope that more people would understand how important it is for these children that are going through such hard times in their lives get a chance to have their wish come true and put a big smile on their faces!! For more info go to www.wish.org

Jessy will soon be going back to school for a few hours and still have the Homebound teacher coming to see her. Her parents are waiting to meet with both schools for this to take affect.

We'll keep you posted on all the exams and results!!

The Meeting

Jessy and her family met yesterday with the ladys that represent Make a Wish Foundation.
At 6pm Jessys mom recieved a call from Alexa from Make a Wish at that time Alexa advised Jessys mom that she would be taking dinner for the family and Fettucini for Jessy being thats Jessys favorite food. Jennifer and Alexa arrived at Jessys house about 7pm they sat with the family and explained all the paper work they were bringing. They also brought papers for Jessy to answer many questions like: Whats your favorite color, food, actor/ress, size of cloths she wears and many more questions.
Of course the main question was "Jessy what would your wish be?" As we know Jessy, her response was "Meet and sing with the Jonas Brothers!" They continued asking her various questions just to get to know Jessy alittle more. They asked her aside from meeting the Jonas Brothers if there was any other wish she would want. Jessy stayed quiet for a few minutes and then responded, "All my wishes have come true and I really don't need anything else." A very unselfish response from a 13 year old! Alexa and Jennifer made Jessy and Jessys family feel as if they had known them forever. These ladys are very special to volunteer their time to such an incredible foundation.
Before they left they told Jessy and the family they will contact them every week and keep them informed about what is going on with Jessys wish. They will also keep in contact to know about Jessy and her progress.

Up To Date and .............Make A Wish Foundation

Hi everyone sorry we haven't posted in a while but so many things have happened and then with the Christmas rush it hasnt been easy. But we're back to let you know all the things that have been going on with Jessy.

I'll start with Jessy going back to Baptist Urgent Care on Monday, November 22 because a Cyst was found in the lower part of her back. She had been a few days with some pain but it just got worse by Monday morning. When she arrived at the Urgent Care she was seen by the doctor and he determined it was a Cyst and it needed to be removed. I can say when Jessy had the Brain Tumor removed she was sedated and didnt feel a thing even if it was for so many hours, this time around Jessy felt everything that was done to her being the anesthesia didn't take affect and they opened the Cyst to clean it and she felt everything. The pain was excruciating! They finally cleaned out the area and placed a drainage to make sure the area would be completely clean. They left the drainage in for 2 days. On Nov. 24th Jessy returned to the Urgent Care where they removed the drainage and at that time Jessys mom was informed by the doctor that Jessy would need to have an operation done to completely remove the cyst sack. This will happen in a few months once the area is completely healed.

On December 15th Jessy went to see her doctor at Bascom Palmer, the doctor was very happy to see that Jessys cornia on the left eye is doing very well. Her eye is still closed and it will not be opened til she is able to move the left side of her face. The doctor did give Jessy a prescription for new glasses even though once her left eye is opened she will need another prescription. But for now it will help her not to strian on the right eye. She was super excited about getting new glasses being that her glasses were a few years old. She'll go back to see her doctor from Bascom Palmer in February just to continue checking her progress.

On Thursday, December 23rd Jessy became Santa for a day, she took gifts to all the Therapist at Baptist Hospital. She feels that everyone there has been amazing to her even the ones that haven't directly worked with her but treat her great. She went with a Santa shirt and hat and went giving out gifts and getting hugs and kisses from everyone.

On Thursday, December 23rd Jessy's mom recieved a letter from "Make a Wish Foundation" letting Jessy's parents know that Jessy was approved by her Physicians to recieve a special wish. Make a Wish Foundation will make that wish come true and if you've all read Jessy's blog you would know exactly what Jessy's wish would be! Of course, to meet "Nick Jonas and the Jonas Brothers". Remember when Jessy came out of her surgery the first thing she said so her family would know she was alright was "Nicky Booboo where are you" and that was completely directed to Nick Jonas. This will be a dream come true for her. We'll keep you posted on the meeting with Make a Wish Foundation and what will take place after that.

Wishing everyone a "Very Merry Christmas and that 2011 comes filled with HEALTH, love and lots of Happiness!"

Thank you to ALL for caring and praying for Jessys recovery!
