| Well that buck eluded them once again! Lol! He's not giving up though, and the guys that share that lease aren't either, they said to just keep bringing him till they get one! He was really tired yesterday, my husband said he fell asleep on the way to the lease and slept most of the time inside the stand and then on the way home! Plus he took a 2 hour nap before they even left! This last treatment seemed to really wipe him out.. poor little guy. Hopefully he will feel better today. The cold weather is really supposed to hit us this afternoon so we will be spending lots of time inside over the next week. I'm going to look into some extra vitamins for him, he does take extra C and D right now but I'm thinking with his limited diet it sure wouldn't hurt to get extra nutrients into his little body! So, mr. Buck, you live to see another day... but Jacob is coming for you and he will get you lol!!! |

| He's not feeling that great today. Woke up and just felt yucky.. I was stroking his head and the hair is really starting to come out... he also has been complaining about a bad taste in his mouth, from the chemo. Poor baby... we have mints, jolly ranchers and suckers for him to try and help with that... the Dr's warned us of all these symptoms, including hair loss, but I'm not prepared. I feel a lot of sadness today for some reason.. we are supposed to have some people over and I just can't get into it. I kinda feel like my auto pilot just took over and I'm just barely functioning! So much cooking to do, I've gotten most of it done and my outside chores are finished, it's absolutely freezing out here today so I'm sure that doesn't help my mood.. Sure would love some sunshine already! I always use to feel excited for New Years eve but I'm just not feeling it at all today. Sorry to sound like such a Debbie downer here, I really need to pick myself up and stay strong. |

You are more than allowed to have your down days.I can't imagine being in your shoes for one minute much less the day to day fight you are going through.It will be good to get the scans done and move forward.Poor Jacob has to be exhausted, confused,scared,among other things just as you are.If you don't feel like having company,cancel them.If you don't get rest,no one will.Please remember you are in my prayers daily.I sure hope you get help from hubby and the rest of the family. |

Thank you very much.. I'm really not in the mood for company but I feel it's too late to cancel and the food is pretty much prepared.. I'm hoping it'll just be a few people, my in laws anyway.. which is fine, I'm just feeling a bit on edge, lack of sleep last few days, cold yucky weather too. My FIL comes over and complains about my dogs being in our house and my horses wearing blankets... every single time.. ugh! Hopefully he won't bust my chops too bad today because this momma ain't in the mood! Lol! Hopefully it will be a quick visit anyway, we never make it to midnight, not planning on trying tonight either! |

Location: In a happy place | I was wondering about the buck too. They warned me when I was on chemo that the metal taste of utensils might cause me to have to use plastic spoons and forks. Don't know if yours said anything or not. Nothing tastes the same. I know some will gag when I say this but the only thing I could eat for the six months on it was a piece of dry bread, spam and a coke. I don't care what someone cooked it just didn't taste good. Maybe he will find something that he can eat that tastes good to him. If he does I suggest you let him have as much of it as he can tolerate. I wonder if he doesn't need some Vitamin B, Vitamin D3 and K2. You are all in my prayers.

Yes, thank you... right now he favors mint chocolate chip ice cream and pepperoni pizza... that's pretty much all he eats! I made some queso tonight and he ate a bunch of it. I'm just giving him whatever he will eat at this point! |

My grandfather only wanted lemon cake and red jelly cake. Momma alternated weeks making them. He said sweet was the only thing that tasted anywhere near right. The doctors said let him eat whatever he wanted, as long as he was eating. . . . My prayer this New Year's eve is for Jacob's scans to be good and the new year to do a complete turn around for your entire family
AND FOR THE BUCK TO PRESENT HIMSELF!!!! |

Thank you so much. He's feeling really good today.. first thing he said this morning when he woke up was mom, I don't feel bad! I'll take it! They might head out to the deer stand this afternoon. ... fingers crossed, it's nice and cold so the deer should be moving! |

Location: Eastern OH but my heart is in WV | I read Jacob's story for the first time last week. My heart broke for him and your entire family, I even cried some for you all. However, the more I read the more I realized how incredible strong everyone of you are. I sincerely hope that he gets that monster buck but more importantly I pray at 2018 brings healing to Jacob! Hugs to all of you and especially that precious young man!   |

| Well they didn't end up going, my poor hubby had to help me get the water working so we could get water to the horses, everything froze! We had to go dig out our heated buckets and get them hung in the barn, we don't have electric set up out there yet so we had to get creative with extension cords! Took us a while to get everything set up. It was just too late by the time we finished up. He has plans to get him out there this week, hopefully before his next treatment, he will be getting the same exact medication he got last time so he will probably not feel really well again for a few days.. unfortunately. .. he's looking forward to a few of his friends coming over this afternoon to play, he sure misses his friends, makes me sad for him.
As far as his gofundme account, my ex husband is the one who set it up, we receive the funds and my neice was able to link it to his page on facebook, I'm not good enough on the computers to do stuff like that! I'll see if I can share it on here. We are also planning a fundraiser for him in the future.. a very popular country music band out here contacted my husband and said they'd be happy to perform at it for Jacob and my husband's nephew has an amazing bbq team that will do all the cooking and sell bbq plates.. lots of people have asked and want to donate things for an auction. Our insurance company is great, they have contacted us and said a lot of Jacobs treatments are 100% covered because we met our deductible a while back... I picked up a prescription for him the other day and it cost me $1.64 my husband's company has one of THE best insurance plans for employees in the industry. I'm so thankful we added Jacob to it when we did.. his father is required to provide him with insurance but he took them off a while ago, whole other story there, but it's ok because jacob and my daughter are both covered under our insurance. I'm grateful for the donations that have been given, they definitely help ease a little stress for us. My husband is pretty much working normal hours and they let him adjust some things around so he can be with us every Friday for Jacobs treatment sessions. I'm not exactly sure how much this whole ordeal is going to end up costing but I'm not going to worry about it right now, I just want my baby healed!
