November 23rd 2009 will be a permanently remembered date in our family now. Yesterday afternoon Remington completed his last treatment of radiation therapy! His cancer treatment is now complete. He will have annual scans and check ups for the next few years, but for all intents and purposes he has completed this adventure. It has been a long and difficult journey for Remington and the family this year. It actually feels a little strange not having to schedule and plan on getting Remi up to the hospital for treatment. The family is going to have to learn a new schedule again. I am OK with that!!
We had a special event last night for Remington, the Make A Wish Foundation had Remi's star raising ceremony at the Murray office. We invited friends and family down to participate and celebrate with us. It was extra special for us because he not only had his wish granted but completed treatment the same day!!
Thank you for everyone that has been there with help, hope and prayers. It made all the difference in the world for Remington as well as the family. You are all a part of our lives now.
May you all be as blessed as we have been. Happy Thanksgiving.
God Bless You All!!
With love,
Elijah, Shilo, Samara and Remington Jackson

Chemo is done!!!
The heading says it all! Remington completed his last chemo treatment on Friday afternoon! The nurses and doctors got together and celebrated with Remi. It was pretty cool. He had a banner hanging on the wall that said "Happy last chemo Remington". The charge nurse also brought in a big goody basket filled with toys and books. We have now completed one more step in this little adventure.
Now if Remi stays on schedule and does not get sick or delay his radiation treatments, he will complete his total cancer treatment on the 19th of November. That would be the ultimate Thanksgiving miracle for our family. It will be almost exactly one year since he was diagnosed with his sarcoma. Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts during this time. It really has made a difference. Bless you all.
