On November 5, 2012 we learned that our 3 year old son Jake has an extremely rare bone cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. This page is for our friends, family, and friends we don't yet know to keep up with Jake's progress. Follow us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/jakersrussell

Now What?
We went home the afternoon of the biopsy and treated Jake with lots of snuggles, cartoons, and chocolate milk. The pain medicine makes him nauseous so we let him eat whatever he was willing to eat. That night was the hardest yet, but as a couple days passed he was much better. He feels pretty good during the day but still complains of leg pain at night (which is one of the symptoms of Ewing's). Jake went back to preschool today and he had a great time. His teacher, Mrs. Lisa Sizemore was amazingly supportive and caring and she took special care to make sure he was comfortable. Jake is a "Kiddie Cane" at Monroe Area High School. It's a program for high school students who want to work with children. Mrs. Sizemore and Mrs. Smith do an incredible job with the high schoolers, who in turn give great attention to the preschoolers. We couldn't be happier that we choose for him to attend their program!
