It’s hard to believe that 2007 is coming to an end…  it only seems like yesterday that there were roughly 50 of Jace’s Family and Friends gathered in a room that held half of that.  Patiently awaiting the results from Jace’s First Brain Surgery. And within a matter of days 100’s of people!  Everyone praying, making phone calls on updates, or just visiting trying to keep positive thoughts in their head!  It has definetely been a Year of Blessings and Miracles!

 

We are currently 3 weeks away from Jace’s 9th Round of Chemotherapy out of his scheduled 10 Rounds.  We will begin the 9th Round with yet another MRI as we pray to continue to see the same results that we have seen in the past 4 months!

 

December has been a very good month for Jace!  Besides a little head cold that we were carefully watching.  He was able to spend more than a week with Mommy as she took a Vacation the week before Christmas.  He had a Fantastic Time on Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Sandoval’s and a Fantastic Time on Christmas Day at Grandma and Grandpa Duncan’s!

 

He received many gifts and has since opened all of them and played till his heart was content!

 

One of the things that we had the chance to take part in also was the Little Wranglers Party.  This is a Party set up for all the youth of the Coastl Bend that is battling or has battled Cancer.  Definetely a time that Jace will remember for a long time.  He played A LOT and won prizes while playing games, and he met Santa!  After a brief visit with Santa, Santa presented Jace with a Brand New Bicycle, Helmet, Knee Pads, and Elbow Pads.  Jace also received a Nerf Football and Texas A&M Beanie!!!  This is a Great Event and one of many that is geared towards all those amazing and precious children!

 

Also Jace has been on TV a couple of times on KIII TV3, a couple of times during the Little Wrangler’s Party and then On Monday Night December 10th when they came out to the house and did a follow up story on Jace from the 2 that aired earlier this year!

 

We are looking forward to a New Year!  and Are Excited knowing that Jace’s 10 Rounds will soon be over!  It will be after his 10th round that we find out what his next steps will be!  We will continue to pray for his health and great results and we will continue to pray during his before bed prayers for ALL OF YOU that have lifted him up in Prayer and Supported Jace and His Family throughout this Joyous Year!

 

God Bless Each and Everyone of You,
The Sandoval’s

Joshua, Jamie, and Jace

So, it’s been awhile since we have sent out an Update.  Things have been really busy, but we have managed to stay somewhat sane! haha… well as sane as one can be when you have to keep up with the Little Tornado we’ve come to know as Jace!

We started this morning by going to the Dr’s office to have the nurse access Jace’s Mediport.  We also found out that we will no longer be in the hospital for 4 days like before, but now we will be in till Wednesday morning!  Jace will no longer be receiving Methotrexate through his Omaya Reservoir. 
After we left the Dr’s office we proceeded to Driscoll Day Surgery for Jace’s MRI!  After his MRI he was automatically admitted up to the 4th Tower to start his 8th Round of Chemo.

We just received word, that there is STILL NO CHANGE in Comparison to previous MRI and NO NEW Growth.  He does however have a slight Booger Problem! haha!

We can not Thank ALL OF YOU enough for The Prayers and Support that we have received from You throughout this Journey!  This Past Thanksgiving was extremely meaningful as we had A LOT to be Thankful For! and We are really excited about enjoying Our Christmas and New Years!!!! 

God is Amazing and Prayer is Powerful!  We are Greatful and Thankful!  We are Excited yet Humbled by this whole experience!  God Bless each and everyone of you and your friends and family that have been praying for Jace!
