To the surprise of no one but to the great relief of all, our hero was, well... heroic again today. Despite being a little reticent once he realized the room he was headed to was the same as he's perevious treatment, Joseph, with the help of some 'spin lights' the nurses gave him to hold on his way, soldiered on and as Mom puts it 'he rocked.' Team Taylor also welcomed yet another member to the fold, friend and current team member Jenny Serres' sister who is a nurse at Children's was there to provide great reassurance and guidance. Mom and Dad think Jenny may have had something to do with Jean's arrival on the scene. :)
Joseph came out a little drowsy but doing well, outside of the grumbling in his stomach that we all know is ever present with JoJo. Unfortunately the hospital couldn't grant his wish for breakfast so a faithful Team Taylor member, already on her way to the hospital the medicine chart, made a quick pit stop at Denny's for hashbrowns, bacon and pancakes. Refueled and re-energized JoJo was ready... for some lunch. Then it was off for his echo. After it was nap time, and then fully energized and excited - he dove into the box of fun that was provided by his friends. Then... dinner of course, a little "Dumb and Dumber," taking his oral meds and then off to the land of nod for our hero.
Oh, and lest we not forget, while Joseph was off with Aunt Tina getting his echo, Mom and Dad had a long, un-interupted talk with the doctors and if all the tests go well and the reports stay positive - JoJo will be returning to Casa de Taylor tomorrow! This of course shifts Team Taylor into overdrives and training and dry runs are in full effect as we speak, preparing for a hero's homecoming.
Now we come to the requests we have for the rest of us Team Taylor members:
1. More prayers and positive thoughts. Keep it up!
2. Given Joseph's limited availability to visitors, a project is being undertaken to build a bit of a photo collage of JoJo's biggest fans... all of us. So if you would, please take a moment and find some pictures of Joe's friends, family, favorite times, etc. Please send them to Stefani Johnson at aquinoaopi@comcast.net.
For those that would prefer to send the old fashioned way...

As always, stay tuned and stay focused people! :)
