Hey Jax, I wanted to tell you to still have that determination and that strength! I wanted you to know that i have been thinking lots about you and I have been praying very much for you also! I know you will beat this, and never ever give up! There are so many people who love you and have faith in you, so keep up the good work! With Love, Natalie M. 🙂
Hi Jacquie, I believe in a lot of many things…I believe in fairies, happy endings, creepy crawlies under the bed, the love and bond of your family, the support of your whole family and everyone else, that falling can be funny, that magical things happen and my list continues, but MOST of all I believe in YOU and all that you are and all that you possess within yourself!!! Love to you- Sara
Hey Jax,I made it back from NYC without getting bombed..orrr should i say mobbed by jonas brothers fans haha. It’s already day 13 and i am in more awe everyday at your courage and strength. I was thinking about you my whole trip in nyc and especially when i saw the big ad for WIPEOUT in the middle of times square. I made my mom wait with me for 10 minutes til that ad rolled around again (the first time i tried to take it, it switched to the desperate housewives just as i took it ha) I hope you had a g r e a t day. i love you oh so much 🙂 I BELIEVE~ali
We have been following your story since the beginning. We don’t know you, but heard about you from a friend. Just wanted to let you know my husband had his 2nd transplant last year on July 31st and it started at about 1:00 in the afternoon. He is also a patient at Roswell. It is a very special day for our family and we are very happy to share it with another very special person. We always keep you in our prayers. Maybe we will see you and your family at the Bone Marrow Transplant Survivor’s Day in October. It would be such an honor to meet you! Always keep believing!
Hi Jacquie, I hope you will get better soon . I’m doing gymnastics in level 2. I like gymnastics very much and I hope some day I might be in the Olympics. I never want to quit gymnastics.I see all of your stuff like braclets and the teddy bears too. I hope you feel better. love, Julianna Argenio
Good Morning Miss Jax, So I have a funny little story: At work yesterday we were talking about the Olympics and gymnastics one guy I work with said “I bet you were really good at gymnastics.” I laughed out loud and said “Well I was decent from the ages of 5-12 but after that it kind of rolled down hill.” Then he said “well I could see you as a dancer you were probably really good” I NEARLY PEED MY PANTS LAUGHING!!! Love you lady! Keep on fighting and believing!!! You are the best! xoxo Ashley
Hi Jax!! I hope today is a good one for you!!! I love you and am always sending you positive/happy/good/wonderful/believing thoughts. Can’t wait till the next visit :o) Love, Sandra
Jax, I hope you enjoyed the little ’gift’, and although it is not as good as Rascal Flatts, there was a great amount of heart and soul and especially love put into singing that song. Mom and dad were both in tears, as well as a good portion of the congregation. The two girls that I sang with (Katie and Michell…who both have BEAUTIFUL voices, far superior to my own) both agree that we will sing that song again soon, and on one condition; that you are in the audience to hear it live:) Although Katie and Michelle have not met you, they were also both in tears at the end of the song, and somehow I managed to make it through until the last “stand” before they started falling down my cheek. The entire Presbyterian Church of Sodus is in awe of how awesome you are. And always remember that “When I am weak, then am I strong.” Keeping kicking cancers a** Jax, and always, keep Believing. God Bless, Casey
hi jacquie- I am so glad to hear you are walking your laps..I just know soon you will be walking outdoors.. I am busy getting Bradley ready to go to Fredonia…I am so not ready to send another kid off to college…I am just sure he needs to stay home with me… I felt the same way when Brooks went to school…I am also glad that she is home so at least one of them will be here… Brooks and I are planning to come to b-low at some point soon..maybe after we drop bradley off at fredonia…I will be a mess so what a great visitor I should be…but hopefully, you will feel like seeing Brooks’ smiling face and her sadsack mom!! Keep walking your laps and gaining strength! hugs and smiles from FAIRPORT!! Brooks’mommy
Hi Jax, We wanted to share a comment that the american swimmer who has cancer said at the Olympics today. He has delayed further treatment to do the swim and then will return. He describes his life as a rollercoaster, as you must be able to relate to. But he also said, “I have Cancer, Cancer does not have me”. I will fight! Keep on riding that rollercoaster, Jax, you will win this! xo, Aunt Indie, Uncle Pat and the kids
HAPPY DAY 12 JAX! The benifit that Sandra and Ash held went over great! i got a 50$ gift certif. at campabellos!! i didn’t “win” exactly but sure will claim an unclaimed prize!! That of which i have already spent half of!..wish i could split the other half with you, i don’t even want to begin talking about that order. Anyways i hope your keeping the laps moving and TAKE HOME THE GOLD, there should be a Roswell olympics..clearly you’d dominate/be the Michael Phelps of it all!! I love you and can’t wait to see you next!! You’re basically all i think about, sorry if thats creepy. haha LOVE YOU!!!!
HAPPY TUESDAY Jax!! So it’s your favorite night of the week…wipe out is on woo woo!! There is also this other really great show on Tuesday nights (on ABC family) it’s called The Secret Life of a Teenager and it is GREAT! I love it…but it’s on at the same time as wipeout so I’m always flipping back and forth lol!! Anyways… I love you a ton and hope today brings you a little peace, a little less pain, a little more courage, a little more faith and A LOT of believing!! Keep up the fighting so you can get ready for a visit!! xoxoxo Ashley
Hi Jacquie, Wishing you a peaceful pain free sleep tonight, and know that I am cheering you on harder than I have every cheered for any one in my life!!!! Clappin Praying BELIEVING Missy
Hi Jacquie, Just sitting here in Clarence Center and wanted to wish you a good night sleep and a feeling better day tomoorrow. Let Alicia know my kids have a slip and slide for practice if you all want it. I plan to stay on the side lines with your mom and laugh until I cry at you all! I already had a taste of wipeout at the EC fair yesterday rescuing Elise out of the funhouse. She wiped out bad on the side to side moving stairs. I took one step onto them to go get her out and immediately went into a middle split. When the guy kept telling me to go all the way through I wanted to wack him. I had enough with the first “fun ” trap…and was laughing so hard I could hardly walk, so I am much better as the obsever of those who wipeout! Love and hugs to your whole family! Sara
Hey Jax: I’m so sorry I haven’t written in so long. I’m using Danielle’s computer cuz Dad’s is still acting funny! I just want you to know that I love you so much and miss you like crazy. Hang in there a little longer and then we can eat loads of chicken wing dip…yum!!! I went into the bank today to cash my pay check, when I came back out to my car there was a ladybug crawling across the “We Believe” sticker on my window! It made me smile. I hope you’re smiling, too!? Let me know whenyou’re feeling up to a visit. Stay strong and never stop BELIEVING!!!
Just wanted to say hi and let you know that I’m thinking about you. Your amazing strength is an inspiration to all of us Jacquie. Keep fighting and believing!!
JaxATTACK ~ Seeing you yesterday was probably the most fulfilling experience in my 23 years of life. Just seeing how far you’ve come, how strong you’ve grown, how much love and support is overflowing in your room, understanding the true depth of love and support your mom, dad & tj have for you, and truly feeling how hard your struggle is day in and day out…all that has given me an overwhelming feeling that I can’t even describe. Thank you for sharing your strength with me yesterday and showing me with my eyes the amazing person you have grown to be – I am so proud of you and pray to god that I can someday be half the person you are today…you are unbelievable. I love you, Nicki
HELLO BEAUTIFUL! Happy Day 11!!!!!! did you see the males swimming relay last night? I nearly had a heart attack.. I was sitting there yelling “GO GO GO GO… ugh there is no way they can do it… OMG OMG OMG they ARE DOING IT!” Even when the French guy was 3/4 of a body length (which is apparently a TON, I don’t know much about swimming so I’m a little out of the loop) ahead of Lazek, Lazek kept on swimming his heart out, FIGHTING and BELIEVING he could do it, and he started to close the gap, and then suddenly BOOM HE WON!Doesn’t that story sound a little familiar? Even when you feel like the leukemia is a little ahead of you, when you’re having a down day, a hard day, even a really really cr*ppy day, if you keep on fighting, if you keep on BELIEVING, you WILL close the gap, you will win the race, you will KICK CANCER’S B*TT!!!!!!Keep on fighting, keep on BELIEVING. I love you! Even though at times you may question your own strength or courage, never ever doubt our faith in you, our love for you, our BELIEF in you! When you feel weak or weary, it is okay because we are ALL here, beside & behind you, holding your hand, every step of the way! We will always get you back on your feet and continue to fight right alongside you every second of everyday!In my heart & on my mind ALLways!loving you so much,<3 delisha <3p.s. Torey! I see that you have already started your training for our trip to WIPEOUT next year! Ah getting a head start, trying to always stay one step ahead of the rest of us, is that how it is? Well we’re right on your tail!!! haha I kid I kid. But I do believe next summer in preparation for our arrival on Wipeout, we need to get one of those slip ’n slides and start practicing on that! haha ahhh I can’t wait ; )
Good Morning!! I hope you got to get some extra sleep this weekend!! Saturday was a success!! I can’t wait till you see the pictures and see how many people love and support you!! It was amazing to see how many believers there are out there!! Don’t worry Mr. Hirsch no one saw you fall!! But now that you have some experience maybe you can be a contestant on WIPEOUT!! lol! Alirght Jax Day 11 here you come!!! Love you lady!! xo Ashley
Hi Jax, Getting to see you Friday was the highlight of my week. The benefit had a good turn out on Saturday and it was great to so many people who love you so much in one room. I am sorry your body feels so crappie right now, and that your dad had a brutal fall!! I love you and am believing every second of every day! Cant wait till the next visit. Sandra :o)
Jax. Watching the floor routines in the Bejing olympics late last night reminds me again of watching both your parents as young kids flip-flopping around the perimeter of the old Buffalo Turners gym floor. Who knew they would be so hot for each other years later, leading to someone as beautiful and strong as you, pulling so many friends and family together. Keep counting up the laps, stay in the fight, and win! While your on your laps, believe your Dad surely needs a coach again – someone like you – able to show him the finer points in beer stair stepping – soon I hear to be a new olympic sport? Maybe you can work with him in the staircase after you finish your laps…he might be ready for 2012 – 🙂
Hi Jacquie, A 10.0 for you for day ten!!!! AND a 10.0 for you Torey for your fall on the steps! I think you got some bonus points too, because you went down with a beer in hand and still made it flat out face first. Always rooting for YOU Jacquie and wishing you a good night sleep and better moments ahead. Hugs to you all. Love, Sara and family!
DAY 10! HOLY TOOT LADY!!!!! Keep on fighting, keep on plowing through each day and pretty soon you’ll be at the finish line!I BELIEVE you inspire ALL of us more than even Michael Phelps inspires the whole nation.Keep fighting, KEEP BELIEVING!xoxoxo <3 delisha <3

Hey Hirsch! Soooo, I was watching the olympics tonight, and all of the gymnastics, and thinking how greatful I was that you switched from gymnastics to diving… cuz we all know how ridiculous those spartan swimmers are =) I am thinking of you constantly and know you are kicking butt over there at Roswell. BELIEVING in you ALL the time!!! -Pinchoff
Hey Jax! I wanted to tell you that I have been thinking a lot about you lately! Keep this fight going…I know you still have that juice in you to not stop, ever! You can do this! If you have that faith, it will make you stronger! Keep it up! love, Natalie!
Hello lovely!! Happy day 9!!! Almost to the double digits now – YAY! I know waiting is so terrible and waiting on no sleep is even worse. I’m amazed that you’re not snapping at everyone!! Just again proves your incredible strength and spirit. I’m constantly amazed by you as is everyone who knows you. Keep going my love – you will do this!! Can you even imagine how great it’s going to be the first time you get some IB wings again?? Or get to go out and run? These things are coming – you will get there. KEEP BELIEVING IN YOURSELF!!! We all never stop. I love you lots and am thinking of you every single day – you constantly inspire me and make me want to be better. Thank you for that. Keep going… you can do this. Always loving and believing, <3 Sadie
Jacquie-Just wanted to say that there isn’t a day that goes by that Maryanne and I don’t think of you and pray for the very best of everything for you. I am absolutely elated to hear that things are going better and that you received the second transplant. I am very sorry for the lapse in my communication with you but please know that every day at least twice a day Maryanne and I are thinking of you and your family. We love you very much and wish you a restful night. P.S. The kids never stopped asking about you. You really made an impression on those children that says something about your gift for teaching. 🙂
DAY +8 on 8/8/08!! has to be a good sign. Just like there are 8 on Jon&Kate..8 maids of milking..8 crazy nights of hunnakah..8 ball corner pocket..8 make a date (kings cup). sounds like cait(lin). ok. im out of ideas…EITHER WAY. GREAT DAY!! Happy Day 8 Miss JEH!! I love you, keep fighting!!!<3
Jackie and Jackie’s Mom: Both of you are the strongest people I know. You give strength to each other. You are both so amazing. Keep believing. Everyone believes in both of you.
Kimberly Traylor- one of your favorite nurses says:
Hey Jax! I know this is the first time I have written on your wall… don’t know why it has taken me so long… anyways, just wanted you to know that you were one the people I was most excited to share the news about our third little boy coming. It’s hard not seeing you every time I come to work on the floor, but know that I love you and I am praying for you daily… as are my little boys who have grown to hold you as a special person in their lives. They are still sleeping with your bears and remind me often to pray for you as I tuck them into bed. Just wanted to encourage you today and let you know how much you have touched my life! XOXO from me and all three boys 🙂
Hi Jacquie and Sharon too, Just saying hello and sending hugs and strength and energy your way. We leave in a little while for our last minute spur of the moment trip back to NY before the kids head back to school on the 20Th. Elise is looking forward to school…Connor feels it should be summer all year long. They just finished swim lessons today. Yesterday I looked on to watch and I see 4 kids sitting on the wall while the teacher works with one in the water and my son Connor is leading the crew in those “arm pit fart sounds”. Not a real proud moment as a mom, but it sure made me laugh. Maybe it will make you smile for a second. It will be comforting to be back in Clarence Center and so close to your home and you all! Take care of you. Love, Sara
OH MYGODWe are going on WIPEOUT next year!!!! Wooooohooooooo!! I can just hear the song right now “da nanananananananana WIPEOUTTTTT”. What a blast that will be!! We will kick everyone’s b*tts and have the time of our lives… who do you think will be the best out of all of us? I know I would personally have a hard time with those big red bouncy ball things… but maybe I can fashion something up with my couch cushions so I can practice here at home 😉 Day 8… into a new week, and almost to day 10. Keep on trucking through… you can do this little soldier! You and your family mean the world to me and to countless others out there. When you smile & laugh, we all smile and laugh… when you feel pain, we feel pain.. when you’re angry and frustrated, we are very angry and frustrated.Good or bad, we are ALL behind & beside you, Sharon, Torey & TJ the whole d*mn way!! None of you take a single step without ALL of us right there beside you, holding your hands.Keep hanging on. There is no room for doubt, only room for BELIEF! You CAN do this! YOU HAVE THE FIGHT! You have what it takes!!<3 delisha <3p.s. Beege was singing that Britney song "stronger" a few days ago when we were talking about you, and I wanted to call you & leave it as a voicemail... but alas my idea was shot down, nuts! hahaALLways BELIEVING
Hi JaX attack, wow – I cannot even imagine what it must be like to have doctors and nurses pulling you out of bed on no sleep…my mom used to come into my room in the morning before school and whip open the blinds and say “RISE AND SHIN!” it was probably the most irrating thing i can think of when it comes to waking up – but i think that you have easily topped that. come to think of it, you have EASILY topped a lot of things in my life – which is why you’re my hero and why you’re cut out for this fight…so thank you for being you and believing every day – you are our strength and we couldn’t do this fight with out you! So much love to give, nicki
Morning Jacquie! Just saying hi before I go to work. I love you and miss you!! I’m looking forward to a visit, just say the word! Thinking and praying for you always Jax~I BELIEVE IN YOU! Love always, Amanda
hi there beauty, well, i am obviously ’create a message’ challenged. my last messge does not appear.[i can’t find it, i think i hit create a messaage instead of send] anyhow, it was this deliciously funny piece on how you,michael, alicia, sara, tj your dad and i should go on ’wipeout’ next season… i know for sure i would instantly drown, so the rest of you would have to carry on….we’d look so totally stupid in that protective gear, we would laugh so hard before we even started that they would most likely throw us off the show. so then we would have to party….. got my ipod in, i am really getting good at downloading songs, SO, money is flying into itunes pocket!! aren’t they happy… stay the course my girl…the good days are on their way. hang in. i am sending you love and strength. love aunt val

HELLO BEAUTIFUL! Happy Day 11!!!!!! did you see the males swimming relay last night? I nearly had a heart attack.. I was sitting there yelling “GO GO GO GO… ugh there is no way they can do it… OMG OMG OMG they ARE DOING IT!” Even when the French guy was 3/4 of a body length (which is apparently a TON, I don’t know much about swimming so I’m a little out of the loop) ahead of Lazek, Lazek kept on swimming his heart out, FIGHTING and BELIEVING he could do it, and he started to close the gap, and then suddenly BOOM HE WON!Doesn’t that story sound a little familiar? Even when you feel like the leukemia is a little ahead of you, when you’re having a down day, a hard day, even a really really cr*ppy day, if you keep on fighting, if you keep on BELIEVING, you WILL close the gap, you will win the race, you will KICK CANCER’S B*TT!!!!!!Keep on fighting, keep on BELIEVING. I love you! Even though at times you may question your own strength or courage, never ever doubt our faith in you, our love for you, our BELIEF in you! When you feel weak or weary, it is okay because we are ALL here, beside & behind you, holding your hand, every step of the way! We will always get you back on your feet and continue to fight right alongside you every second of everyday!In my heart & on my mind ALLways!loving you so much,<3 delisha <3p.s. Torey! I see that you have already started your training for our trip to WIPEOUT next year! Ah getting a head start, trying to always stay one step ahead of the rest of us, is that how it is? Well we’re right on your tail!!! haha I kid I kid. But I do believe next summer in preparation for our arrival on Wipeout, we need to get one of those slip ’n slides and start practicing on that! haha ahhh I can’t wait ; )

Hi Jax, Getting to see you Friday was the highlight of my week. The benefit had a good turn out on Saturday and it was great to so many people who love you so much in one room. I am sorry your body feels so crappie right now, and that your dad had a brutal fall!! I love you and am believing every second of every day! Cant wait till the next visit. Sandra :o)

Jax. Watching the floor routines in the Bejing olympics late last night reminds me again of watching both your parents as young kids flip-flopping around the perimeter of the old Buffalo Turners gym floor. Who knew they would be so hot for each other years later, leading to someone as beautiful and strong as you, pulling so many friends and family together. Keep counting up the laps, stay in the fight, and win! While your on your laps, believe your Dad surely needs a coach again – someone like you – able to show him the finer points in beer stair stepping – soon I hear to be a new olympic sport? Maybe you can work with him in the staircase after you finish your laps…he might be ready for 2012 – 🙂

Hi Jacquie, A 10.0 for you for day ten!!!! AND a 10.0 for you Torey for your fall on the steps! I think you got some bonus points too, because you went down with a beer in hand and still made it flat out face first. Always rooting for YOU Jacquie and wishing you a good night sleep and better moments ahead. Hugs to you all. Love, Sara and family!

Hey Hirsch! Soooo, I was watching the olympics tonight, and all of the gymnastics, and thinking how greatful I was that you switched from gymnastics to diving… cuz we all know how ridiculous those spartan swimmers are =) I am thinking of you constantly and know you are kicking butt over there at Roswell. BELIEVING in you ALL the time!!! -Pinchoff

Jacquie-Just wanted to say that there isn’t a day that goes by that Maryanne and I don’t think of you and pray for the very best of everything for you. I am absolutely elated to hear that things are going better and that you received the second transplant. I am very sorry for the lapse in my communication with you but please know that every day at least twice a day Maryanne and I are thinking of you and your family. We love you very much and wish you a restful night. P.S. The kids never stopped asking about you. You really made an impression on those children that says something about your gift for teaching. 🙂

Hey Jax! I know this is the first time I have written on your wall… don’t know why it has taken me so long… anyways, just wanted you to know that you were one the people I was most excited to share the news about our third little boy coming. It’s hard not seeing you every time I come to work on the floor, but know that I love you and I am praying for you daily… as are my little boys who have grown to hold you as a special person in their lives. They are still sleeping with your bears and remind me often to pray for you as I tuck them into bed. Just wanted to encourage you today and let you know how much you have touched my life! XOXO from me and all three boys 🙂

Hi Jacquie and Sharon too, Just saying hello and sending hugs and strength and energy your way. We leave in a little while for our last minute spur of the moment trip back to NY before the kids head back to school on the 20Th. Elise is looking forward to school…Connor feels it should be summer all year long. They just finished swim lessons today. Yesterday I looked on to watch and I see 4 kids sitting on the wall while the teacher works with one in the water and my son Connor is leading the crew in those “arm pit fart sounds”. Not a real proud moment as a mom, but it sure made me laugh. Maybe it will make you smile for a second. It will be comforting to be back in Clarence Center and so close to your home and you all! Take care of you. Love, Sara

OH MYGODWe are going on WIPEOUT next year!!!! Wooooohooooooo!! I can just hear the song right now “da nanananananananana WIPEOUTTTTT”. What a blast that will be!! We will kick everyone’s b*tts and have the time of our lives… who do you think will be the best out of all of us? I know I would personally have a hard time with those big red bouncy ball things… but maybe I can fashion something up with my couch cushions so I can practice here at home 😉 Day 8… into a new week, and almost to day 10. Keep on trucking through… you can do this little soldier! You and your family mean the world to me and to countless others out there. When you smile & laugh, we all smile and laugh… when you feel pain, we feel pain.. when you’re angry and frustrated, we are very angry and frustrated.Good or bad, we are ALL behind & beside you, Sharon, Torey & TJ the whole d*mn way!! None of you take a single step without ALL of us right there beside you, holding your hands.Keep hanging on. There is no room for doubt, only room for BELIEF! You CAN do this! YOU HAVE THE FIGHT! You have what it takes!!<3 delisha <3p.s. Beege was singing that Britney song "stronger" a few days ago when we were talking about you, and I wanted to call you & leave it as a voicemail... but alas my idea was shot down, nuts! hahaALLways BELIEVING

Hi JaX attack, wow – I cannot even imagine what it must be like to have doctors and nurses pulling you out of bed on no sleep…my mom used to come into my room in the morning before school and whip open the blinds and say “RISE AND SHIN!” it was probably the most irrating thing i can think of when it comes to waking up – but i think that you have easily topped that. come to think of it, you have EASILY topped a lot of things in my life – which is why you’re my hero and why you’re cut out for this fight…so thank you for being you and believing every day – you are our strength and we couldn’t do this fight with out you! So much love to give, nicki

hi there beauty, well, i am obviously ’create a message’ challenged. my last messge does not appear.[i can’t find it, i think i hit create a messaage instead of send] anyhow, it was this deliciously funny piece on how you,michael, alicia, sara, tj your dad and i should go on ’wipeout’ next season… i know for sure i would instantly drown, so the rest of you would have to carry on….we’d look so totally stupid in that protective gear, we would laugh so hard before we even started that they would most likely throw us off the show. so then we would have to party….. got my ipod in, i am really getting good at downloading songs, SO, money is flying into itunes pocket!! aren’t they happy… stay the course my girl…the good days are on their way. hang in. i am sending you love and strength. love aunt val
