May 20 Update
It has been a little while since our last update. We have had a Rollercoaster of a month.
Jack was hospitalized for 7 days with a neutropenic fever, that was caused by e. coli. This was one of our toughest stays, physically and mentally since he was initially diagnosed.
He went home and was re-hospitalized 3 days later for his scheduled 5-day inpatient chemo cycle.
He has been receiving radiation treatments every weekday since April 20...last one is June 1st! One of the side effects of radiation is a slower than normal recovery of blood counts, so he has been receiving a number of blood transfusions.
Tomorrow we find out if his numbers have jumped enough to start his next cycle of chemo on Friday.
Last Sunday, we had the opportunity to attend the National Wrestling Duals. The Niver family has been so thoughtful to Jack and our family during this journey. Thank you Riley, Reese, Ruthie, Cliff and Heather Higgins Niver for the thoughts, prayers and the wonderful basket of some of Jack's favorites!
We would also like to thank Bo Bassett, Wyatt Hendrickson and their families for sending Jack a piece of the heart that lives in wrestlers.
Please consider donating and sharing our Go Fund Me to help with our ever increasing financial burden.

If you are new to our story, Jack was 14 years old and a starting 138 pounder for the Baldwinsville Wrestling Team. On December 31 he lost his ability to stand on his own and on January 2 doctors found a tumor in his spine, which was diagnosed as Ewing Sarcoma - a rare and aggressive cancer found in bones or soft tissue. Jack has been undergoing chemotherapy since January 5th.
