Rodeo Houston 2012 & Jason Aldean

The Chapa Family and Jason Aldean

Rodeo Houston 2012

We actually made it; and to the end.  It's been hard getting Tynan to do anything; so I have to say that when he knew he'd be in the spotlight(in my eyes) at this Rodeo Performance he was not excited. However in the end, he got with the program and we had an amazing time. BIG Thanks to Maggie Mahoney Phillips for the amazing memories she was able to capture for us.  I hate to leave anyone out, and it's hard not to.  There are so many people that made rodeo possible for us I don't even know, or may not want to be in the public eye.  But you know who you are, so to everyone who pitched in, pulled strings, donated, drove the golf carts, and did whatever they could to give Tynan such an amazing experience, THANK YOU!!!!  .

Thank you Yaya and Kristi, you have both always made it BIG for Tynan. We Love You BOTH!!!

Clinic Tuesday - March 13, 2012

It has only been four days since our last clinic visit; but they seem to have taken so long.  Today we will have another bone marrow aspirate.  Last Friday we were educated on "LDH." This is an enzyme in the body that increases when there is tissue damage caused by disease or injury. In our case, as the cancer gets worse the more abundant the LDH is in his bloodstream. Two weeks ago our LDH levels were at about 1900, but last Friday our levels were at only 1000.  We try so hard not to get our hopes up, but are just jumping with joy inside.  We continue to pray that this decrease in numbers can only be a result of the thousands of prayers that are being said for Tynan.

Yesterday we went to the Houston Zoo, and he did so well.  We had to park a mile away, because the parking lot was full.  When we came out of the parking garage and started walking toward the zoo, I heard someone yelling out my name, "Janie."  It was my cousin Mary and her family.  What are the chances of that?  We hung out with them, so the young man in the pictures in her son, Brandon.  We were having a good time and didn't realize how good.  We figured Tynan would be the first to want to leave; as his legs usually give out pretty quick; but much to my surprise he was not ready to go. 

And after all that fun, on to Los Cucos for dinner with Tia Norma.

Queso Face Tynan

Don't forget Houston, Jason Aldean March 15, 2012 at Rodeo Houston in the Reliant Stadium, Tynan will be riding in the Grand Entry.  Hope to see you there.

Jason Aldean

Received a care package from Jason Aldean. Can't wait to see him at the rodeo. Tynan opened his package and said "CD's!!!! PICKS, I GOT PICKS." Tynan took the keychain put it in his pocket and said, "I'm taking him to go see Teddy." I pray that his moods continue to be good and that he is not overwhelmed on March 15th. Rodeo Houston here comes my cowboy. Save the date. Tynan will be riding in the grand entry. Thanks Yaya!!!
