Hello praying friends…thought I would send another prayer request your way. This is “SuperJoey” the son of a friend from high school.
This is from his Caringbridge site:
Hello...My name is Joey and I am the youngest son of Mark & Sharon Jeglosky. I am 4 years old and I have a big brother, Will, who is 5 years old.I was diagnosed with Leukemia on Monday, Dec. 1st, 2008. I found out Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, that it is the "ALL" type, (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia), which if I have to have Leukemia it has a very good percentage for cure.I began my treatment Wed. Dec 3rd, during my stay at Childrens Hospital and came home Saturday, Dec. 6th. I am doing extremely well considering all I am going through and have taken on the name "SuperJoey".I started my 2nd phase of treatment on 1/7/09. Up to now all blood tests results have been good and treatment is going very well.I started my 3rd phase of treatment on 2/4/09. The blood tests continue to come back very good and I am handling treatment with great courage!Everyone's support has been amazing!!Thanks to you all for your thoughts & prayers and keep them coming please!!Love & blessings,"SuperJoey" JegloskyToday
(3/17) Mark writes:I don't have much to say....not what sure to say.....Dr Bostrom just called and SuperJoey's chromosome doubling situation has a name: Doubling of the Hypodiploidy.After numerous conversations with other doctors, Dr Bostrom thinks that there might possibly be a bone marrow transplant in SuperJoe's future. Sucks......We have to bring Will down to Thursday's appointment and have his blood tested for a match.Thoughts are blurry.....Faith is pushed......Feelings are numb........Thanks for listening and keep the prayers rolling please!Mark

It feels like we are starting all over....It feels like we took 2 steps foward and now we are taking 5 steps backwards.We expected a lot of ups and downs, but to go from everything being exactly where we wanted it to be, to a bone marrow transplant, well...it feels like the first day we found out all over again.Big brother Will was a "star" today. He had his blood taken and he is very much aware why and can't wait to hopefully help his best friend out!Now we wait.....the results of Will's blood test should be back in a week. If he's a match, a bone marrow transplant will happen. If he's not a match, then the bone marrow transplant probably will not happen. Please pray that Will is a match! God, I pray he's a match!SuperJoey's percentage of cure went from an 80% chance down to a 50-50% chance...a flip of the coin...are you kidding me? No words...no answers.We need another miracle...please help us in making it happen! PRAY, PRAY, PRAY (I know you are & will)Love,SuperJoey, SuperWill and their Side-kicks
