THURSDAY 8/21/08 NOTHING NEW

I think most of us won't be able to understand how Jeff has been at Emory since Saturday evening and still knows nothing! Tina's mom, Marie, got fired up again yesterday as did Tina when she called Jeff's advocate to complain. As of this morning, they do not have the results of the skull xray or PET Scan back. They did not pull any bone marrow, yesterday, as Tina thought they would, and are instead scheduled to perform this procedure around 1:30pm today.

In addition, Jeff has to look forward to his weekly chemotherapy to the head today. This is the one that forces him to vomit immediately. There is a good chance, he will be in la la land this afternoon after the chemo because the medicine they give him to counter the vomiting knocks him out.

In Salem Football news: Friday, August 22, Salem will be scrimaging Sandy Creek High School in Tyrone, GA in preperation for their first game of the season vs. local rival Heritage High School on August 29. Coach Estes realizes that its not going to be the same without Jeff, so (if I am not mistaken) he is bringing Drew to Tyrone. There has to be one Blount on the field!

We have been following your fight through the blog for weeks now and I have to say the Blounts are an amazing family. My husband(Todd)thinks the world of Jeff and my son(Torrey)met Jeff a few years back and had so much to brag about when he came home to tell his dad that he met someone that knew him. Jeff was a positive role model for Torrey during a difficult time in his life and I am not sure that Jeff really knew how much Torrey talked about him to us, but he did. We will be praying for God's grace to be on the Blount family and guide ALL of you through the storm.

Carol, Todd and Torrey Laird
