morning jaxxie! i’m off to practicum and i just wanted to say that i made my default fb picture the one of you with your fake sad face and me giving you a smooch bc it just makes me giggle every time i see it =) also.. the last update just made me think of a song by (yes i know you hate them) SUBLIME and it just.. well.. it’s just perfect because it’s about .. well i think it’s actually about finding LOVE in a strange place.. but i think it can be attributed to anything. so here’s to you jacko: “cause once in a while, you’ll get shown the light, in the strangest of places – if you look at it right..” so keep believing jac.. there’s beauty in everything, and you can find a sliver of hope and happiness in every minute of every single day. ew i hate mushy wall posts. but i’m so happy you’re back in HL. love, love, love you and i wish you were here this weekend =) -me<3

I LOVE YOU JAX!!! i don’t know if you know/ IM SURE YOU KNOW..there is a little party being held for YOU at Goodbar friday night..im thinking about bringing jax and just throwing them all over the ground..bad idea?? or maybe i’ll carry a vera bradely in your honor..or get hit on by every guy and carry on the tradition..or burp and blow it in someones face…or maybe just get a hotdog at the end of the night and peace out. EITHER WAY..you’ll be missed and will attend the coming home party! MISS YOU JACQUIEEEEEE!! i LOVE YOU!!!
Hi Jacquie and Sharon too! I hope this day is a better one for you. With each day that passes , I hope that fever gets pushed further away!

Hello, my name is Samm Silverman, and it’s been six days since my last wall post. Kind of sounds similar to going to an AA meeting. ok wow that was so not funny but it’s 5:00 now and i have not left the library since 11:30 this morning!! who knew your little would have this much stamina?! Oh jacko.. you should know that IF YOU GOT A FEVERRRR THE ONLY PERSCRIPTION IS MORE COW BELL!!!! i dunno if you’ve ever seen this SNL skit buttt.. that update just reminded me that i’m pretty sure if you had someone banging on a cowbell next to your bed for like.. oh i duno like an hour or two.. that fever would just PLUMMIT. http://youtube.com/watch?v=rgpD8CKSmhs tee hee check it out.. it’s only 9 seconds long what else? i wish you were gonna be here this weekend for alumni. i mean OBVIOUSLY holly lynn parker is not coming cause she’s a big jerk.. but i say you ditch that popsicle joint, jump in a taxi, straight to JFK and get the soonest flight to geneseo. please try to be here by thursday night at 9pm because… well… i’ll be starting my jello wrestling career then (you can win SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS – and i will!) or if not.. i guess just be here for wings with PiGS on friday. that gives you about 3 solid days to get here. i love you so much, i think about you all the time and i want to tell you all the new and exciting (not all positive but exciting non-the-less) things going on here in good old geneseo. Get well soon big one, being stuck in a hospital is no way to spend the springtime. “and if i’ve learned anything at all, it was to never give in…” -Tristan Prettyman Love you, Smile, You’re Beautiful -samanthamum
Hi Jax! Hope you are feeling better today and her to spend some time with TJ and your mom. It was so great to see you and we are all anxiously counting down the days that you are home and we can sit around and watch The Hills wearing our sombreros and Pedro name tags! Pedro doesn’t like Heidi either!LOL Love you!
Hi Jacquie and Sharon, Today is a great day, as it sounds like Torey and TJ will be on there way. I hope today finds you both feeling better, with renewed energy and smiles in your hearts. Now…I don’t typically read all the posts, but I do keep up on my brothers and could not help to notice your friend Alicia’s. Clearly she must now know “Michael” because if one does, you know not to give him props for it will only make his head/ego even bigger. HAHA I am just joking, if I must admit he is humorous except when being a pestoring brother, even then he is OK. Enjoy, enjoy your visit with YOUR brother, you guys have such an amazing bond with one another, it is unique and I have always admired it. Do take care of you. Always thinking of you and sending stength your way. Sara
Jacquie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy day 62!!! Another day down, another day closer to 100!! I hope today is the day that your fever goes down & away for GOOD!! I love you and miss you like crazy. Keep fighting, we ALL believe that this doesn’t stand a chance against you!!!!!p.s. I have to admit, Michael’s are by far my favorite posts on here. I was reading that last one about the meatloaf in class and it totally gave me away (that I was on the internet & not paying attention to what was going on) because I just burst out laughing so hard and couldn’t stop. haha Michael so dead on, you just couldn’t help but eat that rotten meatloaf, could ya? haha. oh man, I hope it makes you smile & laugh as hard as it makes me laugh.I LOVE YOU!!WE BELIEVEp.s. Sharon, we love & believe in you too!!!
Hi Jax and Sharon! I am so sad to hear that Jax is still feverish. Evan has been reading me some stupid laws while I am reading the update, so I thought I might share some with you… laughter is the best medicine!It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church. Boogers may not be flicked into the wind. Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs. Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner. If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle. A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head. You can’t shoot any game other than whales from a moving automobile. One-armed piano players must perform for free.HAHAHAHAHA! fight that fight girl, get strong and get out of that hospital!we’ll keep praying and believing
Hey Jax and Aunt Sharon! I’m so sorry that you’re still not feeling all that great. I’m sure you’ll be back at Hope Lodge real soon…and then back to Buffalo shortly after! Again, I can’t even begin to tell you how bad I feel about not being able to come see the both of you this past weekend. I know it was a short visit with all the girls…but I would’ve loved to be there! Unfortunately we have more dogs than people in this family and someone had to stay home with them. Jax, I heard you had lots of good laughs with the girls…and pedro! Aunt Sharon, I heard your hair looked fabulous!!! I’m so glad this past weekend with the girls helped lift both your spirits! I hope you know how much you’re both dearly loved and missed by all of us! I can’t wait to see you both…but until then, take good care of yourselves and eachother so you can come home soon! You’re in my thoughts and prayers daily! I love you and miss you both so much! ~XOXOXO~
Hi Jacquie, I hope this finds you getting lots of rest and feeling better. Corey has everybody he knows {and pets too} clapping for you each day! The principal of his school was the latest to join in each day!! Codey ,our dog,doesnt even fight it anymore when Corey grabs her pawws to “help” her clap! She just lays there and lets her do it!! Keep fighting Jacquie,You ARE doing it! Sending all our strength through prayers. Clapping Praying BELIVEING Missy
hi jacquie- im a member of sdt of the gamma eta chapter at the university of south florida. i heard your story and read your updates. you are such a strong and beautiful person. i truly believe that you will get through all of this. best of wishes to your with all your treatments! SDLAM <3 your sister, diana
Jax! Stay strong girl! You have had so much courage and strength on this journey and you continue to amaze everyone every day! Sharon’s right, there are bumps in the road, but you can make it through anything. Just know we’re all thinking of your 24/7. WE Believe
well you two, talked with dad/torey today. uncle bob is taking he and tj to the airport tomorrow. it always gives me joy to know that you are all going to be together. i got your mom’s voice mail and that gives my heart a lift. hearing her voice is a gift i cherish. remember, the days pass even when you are having a small setback, so, by the time this set back passes, you will be that much closer to home. i wish you a good night and a beautiful morning. stay focused on that prize, with love for all of you. aunt val P>S i am sending hugs with your dad so collect them.
Jacquie-your mom is right, you are incredible! You are both so lucky to have one another. It is amazing how strong you both are, keep staying positive through these hard times. I hope you are feeling better soon and able to get some rest. I miss you sooo much!! LOVE YOU and BELIEVE in you!! 🙂 ~amanda
Sharon & Jacquie………… Your positive attitude and our prayers will get you both through this. The end of the road will be there before you know. We thought Evan’s would never come and now he has only two more treatments. Love from us all.
Hi Jacquie, We, countless numbers of us, are all behind you, loving you, caring about you, supporting you, picking you up and always believing in your enduring strength and courage. The same is true about you as well Sharon and I am still holding onto your hand, here in NM. Wishing you a bright day and to feel better. Thinking of you- Sara
im sorry to hear that you have a fever still…you are such a fighter though you will beat this soon. seeing you this past weekend was so nice you looked so good and i wanted to hug you and tell you everything will be alright because it will..WE BELIEVE!!!! i believe! stay the strong person we all know you are! i love and miss you dearly! love you, cousin angela
Sharon~ The updates you write are amazing…they are so inspiring to everyone. I can’t imagine how hard this road has been at times but you still manage to show everyone how to be greatful for what we have and give thanks for the people who love us and support us! It is easy to see where Jacquie finds her strength …she can look to you everyday for guidence and even on the bad days you both know that it’s okay to let downfor a little while as long as you get back up! I love you so very much and am so proud of how well you BOTH are doing!! xoxoxo Ashley
Jacquie~ You are so close to being home that I can almost feel your presence!!! I am so proud of you for keeping up your strength and hope. I know that you must be frustrated as you hit bumps in the road, but when you’re finally home and look back, they really will be little. I continue to be so amazed by you and gain strength from you everyday! I have to tell you~~~ Last Tuesday I was at Epcot Center and made it my mission to find Tinkerbell, get a picture of her, and send it to you. Well, I never found her. The only explanation for this in my mind must be that she was with you helping you get through the bumps. Take care of yourself my love. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. *Keep believing…* ~Krystal~
Hi Jax and Sharon, Sending you love and strength as you work through these days at Sloan. Rest, and keep up the positive thinking, your body will follow! xoxox, aunt indie, uncle pat and the gang
hey jax! Congrats on day 60, can you believe you are 3/5 on the way through!! You are getting very close to coming home, keep your head up and stay positive! I hope each day gets easier for you and you are home before you konw it. I miss you lots! Keep staying strong, I know you will! WE ALL BELIEVE IN YOU! love you!! Amanda
wow 60 days behind you jax! you’re so close- you can do it! keep that chin up and that smile on your face…i KNOW you can do it 🙂 sharon- i just want to let you know that i love you so much, and i think you’re doing an incredible job. you and jacquie have both given me so much strength, you have no idea. keep going sweetie, i know you can do it. “in the end, everything will be okay. if it’s not okay, it’s not the end”
Hi Jax: Long time no see! I miss you so much already. It was so great to finally see you and your Mom, even if it was only for a short while, it was worth every second! We will have to plan a trip back when you’re feeling better so we can do fun stuff like sight see, insane taxi rides, and of course…SHOPPING. I hope you’re feeling better today!? I can’t BELIEVE how close you are to day 100! Keep up ALL of your hard work. I miss and LOVE you and your Mom sooooo much. WE BELIEVE *XOXOXO*
Yayayayayay for day 60!!! Happy day 60 love. I’m so glad the temperature in you is going down and the temperature outside is going up! That’s the way it’s supposed to be. I’m thinking of you constantly and fun update for you… so far in the Rochester Area we’ve had 6 college Relays raising over $240,000 for ACS and getting over 100 people signed up on the Bone Marrow Registry!! Yay! Geneseo, by the way raised the most 🙂 Inspired by you!! Keep on being the amazing wonderful you! Everyday you inspire so many people and we’re so thankful for you. We all BELIEVE!!!! (PS it’s so funny that Michael was just talking about spelling because I’m terrible with the “i before e” rule so every time I write “I believe” I have to think about it for a while!)
You dont need to see the drs to find out what the fever is from…you snuck meatloaf in from the hospital and it went bad…hard to think it could get worse…serves you right for sneaking meals for yourself and not sharing with your mom… i just realized i cant spell beleive and it is all over this page…seriously, if you go back and look, i misspell it everytime…never said i was goodlooking AND smart, just the goodlooking part… next time i have to explain my feelings about you moving to clar ctr AFTER you go to wmsv north…not good enough then but good enough now huh?not sure i like this set up… sun and you shining on…
Hi Jacquie and Sharon too, 60 days behind you, wow! That is such a huge accomplishment for your whole family but especially you. I am sure at times your goals feel far away and that the steps are more than tough, but you are doing it!!!!! Every day you reach a goal and with each moment your body heals, you get stronger and you are closer to going back HOME with all your family and friends. I admire ALL that you both are. I wish you more peaceful days and I sure hope your appetite is getting better. Keep going!!! Love, Sara and family
Hi Jacquie and Sharon, I was so happy to see your fever went down!! You will be out of Sloan before you know it ! By the way, 60 claps today! It is going to start to go by really fast now,wait and see! With the weather warm and plans for the summer start to take shape the time will seem to fly by! Now to get some weight back on you, may I suggest the Missy Altieri daily diet?! You Take your 4 basic food groups,or as I call them THE FOUR Cs! Cookies, Cupcakes, Chips and Cola!!! {A meatball sub now and then would be good too!} And eat, eat, eat! I am so glad your feeling better,I know the road got a little bumpy but you never stopped moving forward Jacquie! We are so proud of you! Sharon, you are amazing. You are doing the toughest job any mother could ever do. And doing it so well. Please know ,you are always in my prayers too. Clapping Praying BELIVEING Missy
HAPPY DAY 60!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!! 3/5 OF THE WAY THERE!

morning jaxxie! i’m off to practicum and i just wanted to say that i made my default fb picture the one of you with your fake sad face and me giving you a smooch bc it just makes me giggle every time i see it =) also.. the last update just made me think of a song by (yes i know you hate them) SUBLIME and it just.. well.. it’s just perfect because it’s about .. well i think it’s actually about finding LOVE in a strange place.. but i think it can be attributed to anything. so here’s to you jacko: “cause once in a while, you’ll get shown the light, in the strangest of places – if you look at it right..” so keep believing jac.. there’s beauty in everything, and you can find a sliver of hope and happiness in every minute of every single day. ew i hate mushy wall posts. but i’m so happy you’re back in HL. love, love, love you and i wish you were here this weekend =) -me<3

Hello, my name is Samm Silverman, and it’s been six days since my last wall post. Kind of sounds similar to going to an AA meeting. ok wow that was so not funny but it’s 5:00 now and i have not left the library since 11:30 this morning!! who knew your little would have this much stamina?! Oh jacko.. you should know that IF YOU GOT A FEVERRRR THE ONLY PERSCRIPTION IS MORE COW BELL!!!! i dunno if you’ve ever seen this SNL skit buttt.. that update just reminded me that i’m pretty sure if you had someone banging on a cowbell next to your bed for like.. oh i duno like an hour or two.. that fever would just PLUMMIT. http://youtube.com/watch?v=rgpD8CKSmhs tee hee check it out.. it’s only 9 seconds long what else? i wish you were gonna be here this weekend for alumni. i mean OBVIOUSLY holly lynn parker is not coming cause she’s a big jerk.. but i say you ditch that popsicle joint, jump in a taxi, straight to JFK and get the soonest flight to geneseo. please try to be here by thursday night at 9pm because… well… i’ll be starting my jello wrestling career then (you can win SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS – and i will!) or if not.. i guess just be here for wings with PiGS on friday. that gives you about 3 solid days to get here. i love you so much, i think about you all the time and i want to tell you all the new and exciting (not all positive but exciting non-the-less) things going on here in good old geneseo. Get well soon big one, being stuck in a hospital is no way to spend the springtime. “and if i’ve learned anything at all, it was to never give in…” -Tristan Prettyman Love you, Smile, You’re Beautiful -samanthamum

Hi Jax! Hope you are feeling better today and her to spend some time with TJ and your mom. It was so great to see you and we are all anxiously counting down the days that you are home and we can sit around and watch The Hills wearing our sombreros and Pedro name tags! Pedro doesn’t like Heidi either!LOL Love you!

Hi Jacquie and Sharon, Today is a great day, as it sounds like Torey and TJ will be on there way. I hope today finds you both feeling better, with renewed energy and smiles in your hearts. Now…I don’t typically read all the posts, but I do keep up on my brothers and could not help to notice your friend Alicia’s. Clearly she must now know “Michael” because if one does, you know not to give him props for it will only make his head/ego even bigger. HAHA I am just joking, if I must admit he is humorous except when being a pestoring brother, even then he is OK. Enjoy, enjoy your visit with YOUR brother, you guys have such an amazing bond with one another, it is unique and I have always admired it. Do take care of you. Always thinking of you and sending stength your way. Sara

Jacquie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy day 62!!! Another day down, another day closer to 100!! I hope today is the day that your fever goes down & away for GOOD!! I love you and miss you like crazy. Keep fighting, we ALL believe that this doesn’t stand a chance against you!!!!!p.s. I have to admit, Michael’s are by far my favorite posts on here. I was reading that last one about the meatloaf in class and it totally gave me away (that I was on the internet & not paying attention to what was going on) because I just burst out laughing so hard and couldn’t stop. haha Michael so dead on, you just couldn’t help but eat that rotten meatloaf, could ya? haha. oh man, I hope it makes you smile & laugh as hard as it makes me laugh.I LOVE YOU!!WE BELIEVEp.s. Sharon, we love & believe in you too!!!

Hi Jax and Sharon! I am so sad to hear that Jax is still feverish. Evan has been reading me some stupid laws while I am reading the update, so I thought I might share some with you… laughter is the best medicine!It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church. Boogers may not be flicked into the wind. Donkeys cannot sleep in bathtubs. Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner. If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle. A person may not cross state lines with a duck atop his head. You can’t shoot any game other than whales from a moving automobile. One-armed piano players must perform for free.HAHAHAHAHA! fight that fight girl, get strong and get out of that hospital!we’ll keep praying and believing

Hey Jax and Aunt Sharon! I’m so sorry that you’re still not feeling all that great. I’m sure you’ll be back at Hope Lodge real soon…and then back to Buffalo shortly after! Again, I can’t even begin to tell you how bad I feel about not being able to come see the both of you this past weekend. I know it was a short visit with all the girls…but I would’ve loved to be there! Unfortunately we have more dogs than people in this family and someone had to stay home with them. Jax, I heard you had lots of good laughs with the girls…and pedro! Aunt Sharon, I heard your hair looked fabulous!!! I’m so glad this past weekend with the girls helped lift both your spirits! I hope you know how much you’re both dearly loved and missed by all of us! I can’t wait to see you both…but until then, take good care of yourselves and eachother so you can come home soon! You’re in my thoughts and prayers daily! I love you and miss you both so much! ~XOXOXO~

well you two, talked with dad/torey today. uncle bob is taking he and tj to the airport tomorrow. it always gives me joy to know that you are all going to be together. i got your mom’s voice mail and that gives my heart a lift. hearing her voice is a gift i cherish. remember, the days pass even when you are having a small setback, so, by the time this set back passes, you will be that much closer to home. i wish you a good night and a beautiful morning. stay focused on that prize, with love for all of you. aunt val P>S i am sending hugs with your dad so collect them.

Sharon~ The updates you write are amazing…they are so inspiring to everyone. I can’t imagine how hard this road has been at times but you still manage to show everyone how to be greatful for what we have and give thanks for the people who love us and support us! It is easy to see where Jacquie finds her strength …she can look to you everyday for guidence and even on the bad days you both know that it’s okay to let downfor a little while as long as you get back up! I love you so very much and am so proud of how well you BOTH are doing!! xoxoxo Ashley

Jacquie~ You are so close to being home that I can almost feel your presence!!! I am so proud of you for keeping up your strength and hope. I know that you must be frustrated as you hit bumps in the road, but when you’re finally home and look back, they really will be little. I continue to be so amazed by you and gain strength from you everyday! I have to tell you~~~ Last Tuesday I was at Epcot Center and made it my mission to find Tinkerbell, get a picture of her, and send it to you. Well, I never found her. The only explanation for this in my mind must be that she was with you helping you get through the bumps. Take care of yourself my love. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. *Keep believing…* ~Krystal~

Hi Jax: Long time no see! I miss you so much already. It was so great to finally see you and your Mom, even if it was only for a short while, it was worth every second! We will have to plan a trip back when you’re feeling better so we can do fun stuff like sight see, insane taxi rides, and of course…SHOPPING. I hope you’re feeling better today!?

Yayayayayay for day 60!!! Happy day 60 love. I’m so glad the temperature in you is going down and the temperature outside is going up! That’s the way it’s supposed to be. I’m thinking of you constantly and fun update for you… so far in the Rochester Area we’ve had 6 college Relays raising over $240,000 for ACS and getting over 100 people signed up on the Bone Marrow Registry!! Yay! Geneseo, by the way raised the most 🙂 Inspired by you!! Keep on being the amazing wonderful you! Everyday you inspire so many people and we’re so thankful for you. We all BELIEVE!!!! (PS it’s so funny that Michael was just talking about spelling because I’m terrible with the “i before e” rule so every time I write “I believe” I have to think about it for a while!)

You dont need to see the drs to find out what the fever is from…you snuck meatloaf in from the hospital and it went bad…hard to think it could get worse…serves you right for sneaking meals for yourself and not sharing with your mom… i just realized i cant spell beleive and it is all over this page…seriously, if you go back and look, i misspell it everytime…never said i was goodlooking AND smart, just the goodlooking part… next time i have to explain my feelings about you moving to clar ctr AFTER you go to wmsv north…not good enough then but good enough now huh?not sure i like this set up… sun and you shining on…

Hi Jacquie and Sharon too, 60 days behind you, wow! That is such a huge accomplishment for your whole family but especially you. I am sure at times your goals feel far away and that the steps are more than tough, but you are doing it!!!!! Every day you reach a goal and with each moment your body heals, you get stronger and you are closer to going back HOME with all your family and friends. I admire ALL that you both are. I wish you more peaceful days and I sure hope your appetite is getting better. Keep going!!! Love, Sara and family
