I will have a Memorial page in a few days for Jaslynn. It will have pictures of Jaslynn from the first day she was born to her last day here with us. We love Jaslynn so much and we are missing her very much. I myself can not focus at this time to work on website but I will return in a few days with a Memorial Page.
I do not know what I will be doing with website next. I was thinking of closing it down but some have told me to keep it going in Jaslynn’s honor. We are trying to decide any suggestions are welcome.

Jaslynn we are missing you a lot. We love You
Each day that goes by we miss Jaslynn more and more, when we see her jeep and other toys and things.
These last 2 pictures were taken January 6th, 2005, right before Jaslynn parents had to rush her to the emergency room. Jaslynn had just finished her pizza and she was in a good mood so I decided to get a couple of pictures for her update that was going to happen on the 7th. Jaslynn was attempting to put rabbit ears on her daddy’s head she was having trouble lifting her arms so she just rested her arm next to daddy and she was able to give us a very small smile. After that Jaslynns eyes got very droopy and she told her daddy she wanted to go to sleep, then she wanted her nightgown. So mommy got her nightgown and daddy and grandma Joy was attempting to put the nightgown on her but her body was a little limp. They stood Jaslynn up and that is when she told her daddy “I can’t walk daddy I can’t walk” and fell to the right in her daddy’s arms. Daddy reassured her and they rushed her to the hospital. We had not posted the pictures because this was very difficult for us.
I have been getting emails on how Gibby is doing and if I could do an update on him. Gibby is doing as well as he can be, he has his sad moments. I was just thinking today that I have not done an update because I was not ready to. But here is Gibby having to do his homework that his teacher had sent home on Monday two days after his sister passed away because he was going to be out all week. So he has been doing his homework while we all took some days off. If he has to be working I think we need to all return to what we were doing. He has returned back to school this week we think the first day was a little hard on him he seemed a little sad. Gibby has been riding his dirt bike and playing with his game boy and has been spending some time at his best friends house. He seems to do better when he is busy doing something. Rick and Larry, let Gibby sit on the Police bikes and he had a lot of fun playing on them. Pictures above show Gibby on his bike and the Police bikes.
I am now working on a Memorial Page for Jaslynn and will be ready in a few days. We also have many people to thank for everything they did for Jaslynn and her family.
I also have an Up-Date on Amber. Check Ambers Up-Date Page.

A message from Jaslynn’s parents and big brother Gilbert
We would like to take this time to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and love. Jaslynn was very beautiful little girl. To know her was to love her. She touched many lives in her short time here with us. As parents its very hard to see your child go through something that you can’t take away. She was a very brave and strong little girl who loved life. Not once since she had been diagnosed did we hear her complain about what she was going through. She loved to give her doctor a hard time. She called him her silly Dr. She also loved to give his staff a hard time and mess up the nurse’s hair. As a mom you want to protect and shield your child from all the worst in life, unfortunately that is not always possible to do. She is my precious little angel, and I am her big mommy angel. (That’s what she called me.) I know that she will always be with us, like we will always be with her.
Jaslynn thank you for being so strong. You are so amazing. Daddy, Mommy, and Gibby love you very much.

So special so loved Jaslynn Faith Hernandez you touched so many lives in your short time here with us. Everytime you would meet someone you would walk away with their heart leaving a lasting impression that would last a lifetime. Your beautiful smile, your tender kisses and warm hugs are going to be missed. You are with Jesus and the angels and free from pain. We love you so much Honey Bunny.

We would like to thank everyone for all the prayers email, cards for Jaslynn.

Jaslynn Lost Her Battle With Cancer.
September 15, 1999 // January 7, 2005

Latest pictures of Jaslynn. Please Keep Praying
Up-Date on Jaslynn January 5, 2004 Jaslynn’s results Good news the tumor is not bleeding like we thought.Yeah!!!! However one of the tumors is blocking the fluid from draining from the brain. This is what is causing her headaches. They need to put a stent for the fluid to be able to drain to her stomach. At this time the doctors are trying to decide if it should be done here in San Antonio or try to wait till Jaslynn gets to Maryland. One of the complications is that it makes Jaslynn want to sleep and one of the times she might not wake up (Coma) I guess. Now the dilemma She has a team of surgeons in Maryland that has been studying her case and knows her. And here we do not know what Doctor it would be. Her parents will find out tomorrow what the Doctors in Maryland have decided. (My thoughts why can’t they just fly out now?)
We would like to thank everyone that took a moment last night for a prayer for Jaslynn. We had a prayer service for Jaslynn here at our home last night and everything went well. Jaslynn sat on her daddy’s lap her mom was on one side and Big brother Gibby was on the other side, Gibby kept rubbing her arm he was very concerned and loving with her it was all so special. After one of the last prayers from sister Oralia was over and everyone was standing around wiping the tears Jaslynn looked up then smiled and said AMEN. It was so beautiful you could see the glow. Our prayer service lasted for about an hour and a half. Again thanks to everyone for the prayers. A little bit later her headache came back and her parents took her home to rest.

Brother & Sister Officers needs our Prayers

Prayers For Amber
Please pray for Amber she is in the hospital at this time and has begun Chemo and she is responding to the chemo as expected.
Amber is 9 years old she loves to dance and does karate. Amber also says God is taking care of her.
Her parents are SAPD Detectives Rob & Cindy Carey and Amber has an older brother Justin.
Ambers parents took her to the hospital with a stomachache and after some testing she was diagnosed with a large soft tissue sarcoma, and two additional tumors on December 26th 2004. The larger tumor is attached to the bottom and side of her lung goes down around her liver then to the top of her stomach. The tumor is inoperable from what the Doctors say.
Amber is in need of blood, if you are in the San Antonio area and would like to donate you can go to Blood Bank and donate in Amber Carey's name. She is at Childrens Methodist Hospital. This would be very much Appreciated.
   Our hearts and prayers goes out to them we know exactly what they are going through.
                                   More on Amber coming soon on this website.

Jaslynn is on the way to Hospital for a CAT SCAN, she is not doing well. This scan was setup by Drs. in Maryland. Please Pray
We will be having a special prayer here at home at 7pm for Jaslynn. If anyone can take a moment at 7pm where ever you are at and say a prayer it would be very much appreciated.

Up-Date on Jaslynn January 4, 2005 Jaslynn did not get the MRI on Monday the doctor gave her medicine for the pain that she has been experiencing. If Jaslynn has the MRI in Texas it could affect the research program that she is in. It is hard to explain but I will try, if they found something wrong here in San Antonio, then they would have to take care of it here. If they can wait till they get to Maryland and they find something wrong then they would be better equipped in Maryland to take care of her. It was decided to try to wait till she gets to Maryland and they will see what is going on. The Doctors in Maryland are very concerned for Jaslynn and will take care of her when she gets there. Jaslynn has been sick since last Wednesday and not her normal happy self. Jaslynn is weak and she is very puffy, she is very sad to. It has been very hard on her and the whole family, we are beside ourselves not knowing what to do for her. Most of the time she just wants to lay down and or go to sleep. Our hearts are breaking for Shaun, Hope and Gibby we feel the pain that they are feeling. Please pray for God to give them the strength, Please pray for Jaslynn that God gives her strength and help her feel better and to please let her be healed. I may have more to say on this at a later date.
Jaslynn and Ernest(Shaun) and Hope will be flying out to Maryland on Saturday January 8. If anyone would like to help them with a donation it would be very much appreciated. At this time they could use some help.
The Donate button on my site is a very secured site. If you decide to donate to help Jaslynn and her family with expenses that they are coming up against please know your information is protected. We always wanted the website to be for Prayers only, however when you see your children coming up against unexpected expenses to help their own child you decide that you will do whatever you have to, to try to help. We want the parents to only have to worry about Jaslynn. They should not have to worry about anything else.
Next Up-Date on Jaslynn January 7, or if her condition changes I'll let everyone know.

Up-Date on Jaslynn January 2, 2004 Jaslynn is not doing well, she is having headaches and is very tired and sleeping a lot. She has had headaches for 3 days now, and she has become sensitive to light and noise. When she talks she talks in a very low tone. We just found out that Jaslynn does have an MRI today Monday January 3rd. We are all very worried about her and scared. We are very concerned that she is having complications from the tumors. We know that she was going to be exhausted from the blood in her spinal fluid but we do not believe these are some of the side effects she was suppose to be having. Today for a moment when she first saw grandma she was waiving telling her I’m here and then a little bit later she started going down again. Please Pray for Jaslynn that God will help her through this.
I will have an Up-Date as soon as I know the results.

Thanks For Your Prayers. Have A HAPPY NEW YEAR
Up-Date on Jaslynn December 30, 2004 Jaslynn is doing a little better, she still gets very tired. But I got a smile that is a good sign to me. She has gone to her Drs. appointments 2 times this week. All her counts are good and will be checked again on Friday. This week she was cut back 50% on her steroids. She has been eating and eating. As you can see on picture looks like her cheeks are getting puffy this is because of the steroids. Jaslynn and her mom will be flying out to Maryland on January 8th. Drs. in Maryland will do a MRI to see if there are any changes. We are praying that they say that the tumors are shrinking, after MRI she will start chemo again. They are scheduled to be in Maryland about 4 days then they will fly back home. Then they will return back to Maryland again in 21days. People have ask how are we handling this and how do we do it. When you see your 5-year-old granddaughter in pain and not feeling well it is very very hard, we hurt with her and we hurt when her parents are hurting, we have to be strong and try to be there for them. This has been a very hard Year for us but we will not give up, we will continue to pray and ask everyone to keep helping us pray for Jaslynn and her family in this new coming year. Again Thanks to everyone for everything you all have done this year and we hope everyone stays with us in this New Year.
Lord we ask the you give Jasylnn the strength to continue fighting this evil sickness in her body and let her live a long life we know you have the power to make this happen. She is only 5 and she has been through a lot. We also ask for strength for Jaslynns parents, they are hurting and we hurt with them and most of all Gibby as he sees his sister having to go through this and still having to concentrate at school.
Lord give us a strong awareness of your presence and a steady faith in your promises. May our faith give reality to the things we hope for. Give wings to our hopes and rest to our fears, add courage to our faith. Lord, I am thankful for the church that brought the joy of living into my life when it introduced me to the person who has become my best friend - Jesus Christ! Amen.
This is the last Up-Date for 2004. Next Up-date January 5, 2005. If Jaslynns condition changes before the 5th I will let everyone know.
If you are in the Somerset, Lytle or San Antonio areas check out the picture of the bike on website. Drawing on this bike January 9, 2005. If anyone in the area would like a $5 ticket send me an email and I will bring you a ticket. All money will be use to help with plane tickets. Gibby Jaslynns brother will pick the winning ticket out of jar.

Please continue to pray for Jaslynn

Up-Date on Jaslynn December 27, 2004 Jaslynn is still very tired and quite, at times she looks like she wants to play but then she gets very tired. Jaslynn has an appointment later today to check all her counts. Jaslynn has been very happy to be with her brother Gibby. Jaslynn did enjoy Christmas and opened some of her gifts then she would run out of energy. She was very happy that her daddy was there with her on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Thanks to SAPD officer Richard Garcia (Rick). He volunteered to work for Jaslynn’s Dad so he could spend Christmas with Jaslynn. We all thank him for that. Gibby also was happy that his Dad was there on Christmas Day. We continue to ask for prayers for Jaslynn and her family, they will be going back to Maryland on January the 8th . Well as of today Hope and Jaslynn will fly out on the 8th and Ernest (Shaun) Jaslynn’s Dad is to fly out on the 9th but we will see because Jaslynn says I want my daddy to go with us. I will try to raise the $300 extra that it costs for him to fly on the same flight. I can not believe this airlines that say you save $300 if you wait an extra day. I just wanted to add this so everyone can see just some of the things they go through and how the system works around here. One of the pictures on the website is a 21-speed bike that my wife won on a drawing they had at her work last week. I am going to use this bike for a drawing and will be selling tickets this week for $5. Drawing will be January 9th. All funds will go to the Maryland trip.
Again we want to thank everyone for their help and for the emails and most of all for all the prayers. Pictures below show Jaslynn and Gibby on Christmas Day.
I will have one more Up-Date on Jaslynn this week and will continue again next year.
Up-Date on Jaslynn December 23, 2004 Jaslynn and her parents are back home after 12 ½ hours. There was a one hour delay in Maryland so that made them one hour late for Dallas and they missed the flight from Dallas to San Antonio, they were told that the next plane would leave at 12:10pm,. They made that flight and when they got on the plane they had to sit there for one more hour while they de-iced the plane. They finally got here to San Antonio at 1:45pm and Jaslynn’s first word was GIBBY when she saw him, she hugged him and he was so happy to see her to. Jaslynn was happy to see all of us but she would not turn loose of Gibbys arm. You can tell by Jaslynns eyes that she is very tired and doesn’t feel up to par yet. We are hoping being back at home and with Gibby she will start to feel better. The Doctors said it will take a couple of weeks for the blood to get out of her spinal fluid and that it would make her very tired until then. Jaslynn had a cat scan before leaving Maryland and it showed no new tumors “Thank You God” and the tumors she does have did not grow any, they did not shrink this time however they did just start the chemo. We will be praying that the next CAT Scan will show that they are shrinking. Jaslynn and her parents will return back to Maryland January 8, 2005 for more treatments. We are happy that Jaslynn and her parents made it home for Christmas and we thank God for that. Pictures below show Jaslynn is very tired and weak, we are praying that she is able to regain her strength and start to feel better.
I will have some more of Jaslynns crafts up on ebay later today. The money made on her and Gibbys crafts will be used for the January 8th trip. Plane tickets this last trip was $1780.00. This week we will be looking into some kind of help from airlines. As they will be flying about 2 times a month to Maryland.
Again Thanks for all the Prayers. Next UP-DATE on Jaslynn December 26, 2004
Up-Date on Jaslynn December 20, 2004 Jaslynn is doing well. We want to thank everyone for your prayers. Jaslynn got out of the hospital Saturday evening on a pass and had to go back Sunday to make sure she was o.k. and she was. Her Dad and Mom told us that if everything goes well they should come home on Wednesday. We are praying for this, this week has been so hard on the whole family and really hard on Gibby he wanted to be with his sister and parents. He has been so worried about them and when Jaslynn got sick he got really worried that he was not there to be with her to make her laugh. Gibby loves his little sister so much he stays worried about her all the time. It was very hard to tell both of them that Jaslynn had to go so far away for her treatments. They were both upset Jaslynn because they would not let Gibby fly and be with her and Gibby because they were going to be so far from him and he felt he was going to be all alone without his sister, mom and dad. Gibby and Jaslynn have been able to talk almost every day this has helped somewhat. Jaslynn has been very tired and wants to sleep, and she has been real quite. The Doctors did state that the blood that leaked into the spinal fluid will make Jaslynn very tired and that the steroids will make her moody or quite. The Doctors stated it will take a couple of weeks for the blood to get out of the spinal fluid. We are hoping that once she is home she will start to feel better seeing her brother and being around the whole family. She was probably wondering why none of us went to see her while she was in the hospital, not understanding she is so far away. Jaslynn will get Chemo on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and if all goes well they will come home Wednesday afternoon then they will return to NIH in 21 days for the next treatment. Again thank you all for your Prayers they do help so much. We know that God had his hands on her to stop the bleeding and the swelling in her brain. Again thank you all.
This week I was contacted by the Somerset Elementary School, This is Gibby and Jaslynn School where she is enrolled and was able to attend the first day. Unfortunately she has not been able to go back. The School nurse stated they wanted to have a blood Drive for Jaslynn and it is scheduled for Jan. 4th in Somerset ISD.
We got to go to the school on Friday to watch Gibby get his Character Award. We are so proud of him. Only 1 student per class is chosen for this award and he was selected for his Good Character. There were a total of 35 students that were selected for this honor out of 650 students. His parents were sorry that they could not attend the presentation of the award to their son. Gibby also had his class Christmas Party that he had a lot of fun at, now he has 2 weeks of vacations to spend with his family when they get back home.
Hi Jaslynn We all love and miss you we can’t wait to see you. Hope you like the pictures of Gibby at his party. We hope you will like the way we decorated the house for you and Gibby and of course Santa.
Jaslynn and her parents have access to the Internet up in Maryland. If anyone would like to send a note to Jaslynn and her parents they can see it right away with Guest Book.
I will also have more of Jaslynn’s crafts up on ebay this week. And Gibby's will have some of his to, he also wants to help make money to help his parents with travel expenses.

Up-Date on Jaslynn December 15, 2004 Jaslynn is in Maryland this week and doing well. Drs. did some blood work and an echocardiogram on Monday, also talk with her parents about the treatments that they were going try on Jaslynn. The Doctors also had to let them know that Jaslynn has 2 tumors, the second Tumor she now has is next to where they removed the last one. They are going to try this new medicine they have to see if it can shrink the tumors and kill the cancer. But if it does not start to show that the medicine is working, the Drs. stated they believe that they can be removed by surgery. Right now we have to wait and pray that this medicine will work so that they do not have to operate to remove the tumors. Jaslynns Daddy told me that they took a lot of blood today for testing and the Drs gave her a sample of the new medicine to see how her body would react to it, thank God she did o.k. Jaslynn did however get upset and was crying for Gibby because they had to do an I.V. for the Chemo because they were using the port to take her blood. She will have her eyes checked on Wednesday because they are worried about her vision due to where the new tumor is located and she will also get another MRI on Friday. We want to thank the Team of Doctors at NIH (National Institute of Health in Bethesda MD) that are working on Jaslynns case, my son has told us that they are taking good care of them and Jaslynn. Shaun told me that the medicine has been giving to 500 adults and she is the 23rd child to receive it. We want to thank everyone for your thoughts, prayers and emails. We do appreciate them a lot and they do help. We have faith and we all feel that Jaslynn is in the right place for her treatment.
I will have small updates every other day on Jaslynn while she is in Maryland. Jaslynn is really looking forward to Christmas so I have 4 days to decorate the yard. Also don’t forget to check out Jaslynn’s crafts on ebay.
This past Friday night Dec.10 we were able to take Jaslynn and Gibby to see Mrs. Bonnie’s decorated house and to see her Christmas Tree decorated with mice old and new it was beautiful. Mrs. Bonnie and her husband Will, had put together for Jaslynn and Gibby and they were afraid that they would not get to see it before Jaslynn had to go to Maryland. Luckily we were able to go see the house and we were able to stay and visit for awhile we all had fun. They introduced Gibby and Jaslynn to their birds (pardon me I”m terrible with names) The kids thought the birds were great Some of the pictures below Show Jaslynn and Gibby and Mrs. Bonnie. Sorry we did not get any pictures of the birds, Oh we can’t forget they also have 2 cats. The kids love animals they were excited about the animals. Mrs Bonnie and Will also made stockings for Gibby and Jaslynn and gave them a gift for under the tree. The kids really enjoyed the stockings. Later that same Friday night after the kids were done at Chucky Cheese with Mom and Aunti Lori they came to stay the night at Grandmas and Grandpas. Aunti Irene, Crystal and Ariel came over to our house and brought some gifts and a lot of small things for Jaslynn and Gibby Like mini Oreo’s mini sour worms etc. Gibby and Jaslynn had a lot of fun. It was a liitle hard after everyone left my wife was bathing Jaslynn and she started to cry and she was saying that her parents would not let Gibby fly with her and she wanted him to go. Grandma was explaining to Jaslynn that Gibby had to go to school and he could not miss. (That did not matter) Finally we got Jaslynn to stop crying and she was o.k.. The next morning Gibby was very sad and we asked him what was the matter and he stated he was sad because his little sister was leaving on Sunday. Jaslynn and Gibby have a very special bond they both adore each other and Jaslynn really thinks Gibby walks on water. Jaslynn and Gibby have been able to talk on the phone everyday this is helping somewhat (not really).

Jaslynn Now Has Another Tumor Growing Where The Second Tumor Was Removed. She Now Has 2 Growing Tumors. Please Pray for Her.

Grandma Gets A Birthday Kiss.

Up-Date on Jaslynn December 9, 2004 Jasylnn is having a MRI today, she had her Body Scan on Tuesday December 7th. Poor little Jasylnn is having a lot of work done and my heart hurts for her. All these tests are going to Maryland and they will be given the results there, I pray that everything comes back well because they will be all alone up there. Things have been very hard and sad, and I believe they will get harder because we will not be able to be there to comfort them, but I know in my heart that God will be with them. Jaslynn and her parents will fly out to Maryland on Sunday afternoon and her appointment is first thing Monday morning. Please help us pray that all goes well for them in Maryland. I will have more info on this part on Monday or Tuesday. We will be taking Jaslynn and Gibby to visit Mrs. Bonnie On Friday night, They are going to check out her tree that is decorated with some vintage mice ornaments. I have to check these out myself ebay maybe? Just kidding Bonnie. Mrs. Bonnie is a friend that has helped this website with advertising. Thank You Bonnie. After that she will be going out to dinner, then after that cousins want to come and visit her before they leave. Jaslynn will rest for a long hard week coming up. Again Please Pray For Her.
I have put a Donation button on my website for anyone that wants to help Jaslynn and her parents with travel expenses. It is costing them $1480. Just to fly up there. They cannot do early reserving to save money because everything with Jaslynn’s treatments are having to move fast, and then depending on her condition in the 21 day period is not known. So they will have to wait till that time to schedule flights. Then they will fly back home and then about every 21 days fly back to Maryland. Any Donations would be very much appreciated. The Donate button on my site is safe and secure.
When Jaslynn is home with no appointments she spends time with her mom doing some crafts and coloring. Jaslynn is unable to go to School but mom works with her at home doing small things. Jaslynn and Gibby stay with us on Friday nights and they do coloring on their color books. Gibby knows I sell on ebay and he had ask if we can put some of his and Jasylnn’s arts and crafts on ebay to help his parents make money for expense, but I never did try. But now if a lady can sell a cane for $65000 for her little boy. I guess I can take Gibby’s idea and try to sell something to help Jaslynn and her parents. I will be putting a link to my ebay store here on my website and start with a couple of things Jaslynn has painted, so check it out and bid on them she has signed them. You will always remember her.
Pictures below show Jasylnn and Gibby blowing candles on grandma’s birthday cake, and helping grandma with Christmas tree. Jaslynn playing and also shows her signing on some of her crafts. Click on my ebay link.
Below are a couple of pictures of some Christmas Tree ornaments that Jaslynn has painted and signed. These are on E-BAY now starting bid is .99 cents. Tell your friends. Let’s help them out. Click on my ebay link.

Jaslynn’s parents told Dr. that they were not ready to give up and for him to try to find anything, and he said ok.
Up-Date on Jaslynn December 7, 2004 Jaslynn is going to have a Complete Body Scan today Tuesday Dec. 7th, on Thursday she will have another MRI. This has started as a very busy week but we want to do what ever it takes to help Jaslynn get well. Jaslynn and her parents will be going to Bethesda, Maryland. Jaslynns Dr. here in San Antonio has been working with the Drs. in Houston, the Drs. in Houston have been working with Drs. in Maryland. The Drs. in Maryland are in a clinical trial and that they have 3 new medicines they want to try, they have high hopes but that it is not a guarantee. Jaslynn and her parents will leave on Sunday and return the following Sunday. After that they will be going back every 21 days and staying there for 7days. As for my son we are not sure yet how he will do this because of his job, but we are hoping that he can get the FMLA so they can both be there. This is a new kind of chemo, each time they are there as soon as the chemo section is done approx. (7days) they will bring her back here to San Antonio. The Doctors here in San Antonio will monitor her and her counts that way if her counts go down or she gets a fever she will be put in the hospital here. Jaslynn’s parents told the Dr. that they were not ready to give up and for him to try to find anything, and he said ok. So this new medicine they have is; one is to try to shrink the tumor and the other is to try and kill the cancer. I apologize that it is hard to explain and I’ll try to do my best I hope I’m not to confusing. Many of you have asked how do we handle this. What we are going through is very hard we have all been in shock and crying in our private moments. But you all are right this is very very hard. But prayers and emails and talking to friends help us be strong for our kids.
Gibby will stay here with us so he can keep attending school and I know he is going to miss his sister and his parents a lot. He is already very sad that he has to be without Jaslynn and his parents he was crying and not understanding that they have to go so far away and for so many days. We will keep him busy so the week will go by real fast. Jaslynn was dancing for him so he would not cry.
We would like to thank everyone for helping us pray for Jaslynn and her family and for staying with us on the website. Many of you have been here with us since day one and that has been over a year now. We all love Jaslynn and we know all of you do to and we thank you.
I will continue to do weekly or daily updates on Jaslynn. If anyone would like to be removed from my e-mailing list just let me know. If anyone would like to join my e-mailing list just send me an e-mail. I just use it for if Jaslynn condition changes I let everyone know, and at that time we ask for a special prayer.
I would like to let everyone know that I am going to put a donation button on my website later today for anyone that would like to help us help Jaslynn and her parents. We did some work on our vehicles thinking that we were going to be going to and from Houston. Now the plans have changed and the Drs. decided Maryland. Jaslynn and her parents will be flying to and from Maryland and we know that is not cheap. I know that I have said all we ask for is prayers, but at this time I would like to ask if you could help us help our kids with expenses. It would be very much appreciated we want to make sure that both parents are able to be with her. It has been very expensive this past year for them. I have never discussed the expenses with you all. But I am sure everyone knows about co-pays and things like that. Jaslynn is under a lot of medications. I am not going to go into all the details I’m sure everyone knows. The donations will be used for there airplane tickets, meals and to help Jaslynn and her parents with expenses while they are up there. At this time we do not know how many trips are going to be required we should know more next week the duration of the clinical trial.
I will take some pictures of Jaslynn today. For everyone one to see how well she is doing. She has been so busy with appointments.

If you would like to join my e-mailing list just send me an email. It is used for updates on Jaslynn only.
