About Me
- Juan & Cecilia
- We were high school sweethearts and we still have that connection we had years ago. God has blessed us with two wonderful children who are now grown adults living their own lives; our eldest lives in Abilene and our youngest resides in Arlington. Our personalities...in a nutshell...I think can be described as easy-going . Juan loves to joke and I love to laugh...so...it just works. I really don't think we have to go into much detail about what we're like because inevitably that will show with each and every post. We love that you're here and you are welcome to stop by any time to read about our stories...some funny and some...not so much; but all definately, from the heart.
Maruca emailed me this morning (Thurs.),
to tell me that her and Christopher and Nicholas
visited with Jr. and Anita yesterday.
Like I said, her brain never stops working.
'Para quando yo voy, Maruca ya biene!'
She asked Jr. to write something down so that
she could email it to us. She states she didn't want
to misquote him, so here it is:
'Today May 21st, Anthony received his last of five
radiation treatments. At 1:30pm, he started receiving
stem cells that were blessed by the hospital chaplain.
These stem cells were donated by Anthony's older
brother, Jeremiah. Jeremiah donated his stem cells during
a four hour process the day prior. The nurses and
chaplain wished Anthony a HAPPY BIRTHDAY, this
being his first day with his healthy cells. "Gracias A Dios"
Before leaving I asked Anthony what he wanted me to
tell everybody,- - - he said to tell everybody hi and
thank you for the prayers. AMEN BRO'
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MARUCA.

Just as the title reads! !
From what Anita informed me, Anthony
was able to eat one of mom's burritos this
morning. What da you think of that?
Anthony did really well this afternoon during
his long awaited procedure.
It started about 1pm and was almost completed
by 2:30 or 2:45 this afternoon.
No signs of rejection during the process!
Soooo pleased to hear this great news.
Keep it up Anthony.

Had a call from Anita this afternoon.She said everyone is doing alright.
Anthony's' last radiation treatment is
tomorrow. He has been experiencing
some nausea, but not anything severe.
Hey, he even got on an exercise bike yesterday
afternoon! Pretty strong guy, wouldn't you say?
Jeremy donated his super good blood this
morning. He started his procedure this
morning at 7am - 12pm. Anita says after
that, he went to the apartment to get plenty
of rest, since he and Jaime will head
back home tomorrow.
Tomorrow afternoon Anthony will start
receiving Jeremy's' blood. We pray that
everything goes well and that he not
have complications with infections.

Juan-Gabriel visited with Anthony yesterday
after church. I was really glad to hear that
he looks good and doesn't even look like he's
sick.
The chemo is sorta starting to get to him
a little though. Apparently he wasn't in the
best of moods for awhile yesterday morning.
Do you blame him? Supposedly the doctor
came in to check on him and was checking
the port on his chest and the doctor had
coffee breath, which pissed off Anthony, cause
it made him really nauseous! Ha!
He walked around awhile, but tired a little
and went to sleep. Sounds like he's really
doing good.
Mijo, was kind enough to take Jaime and Anita
out for awhile. He showed them around Dallas
and the beautiful homes and shops. Hope they
enjoyed getting out for awhile. Hopefully that
released some stress. Thanks, J.G.

Super great news on Anthony.
Talked to Anita this afternoon (Fri.),
and they were just leaving for the
hospital to admit Anthony at 2pm.
The good news is that yesterday (Thurs.),
they attended a meeting, explaining
all details as to what is going to happening
daily, plus a schedule of his procedure.
Apparently this process is not taking as long
as they had thought.
Today, he starts chemo for 3 days.
After the chemo, he has 3 days of radiation.
Then after that, hopefully by next Wednesday,
they will be able to do the blood transfusion.
He will probably receive Jeremys' blood all
in one day.
I got to talk to him and he sounded really
strong and positive.
I pray to God that everything goes well.
Oh, almost forgot. He won't be in isolation!
In fact, if a family member wishes to stay
overnight, they will be allowed to. Of course
there are certain precautions they have to
go through because of infections.
So, seems like things are really going good today.

Hey guys, thanks to Maruca (Mary) Thomas, I now
have Jr. and Anitas' address there in Dallas.
They have been there since Wednesday, I think
Jeremy has been going through more testing since
then. Don't quote me on this. I'm really bad at
getting my shit straight. But, I know for sure
that Anthony will be admitted to the hospital
tomorrow. (Friday)
This is all I know as of now. Maybe Maruca can
give you more detailed information.
Here is the address:
2732 Gaston Ave. #124
Dallas, Tx 75226
214-748-9968
A special friend sent me an email this morning,
and at the bottom of the letter she sent this
beautiful poem:
Happiness keeps you sweet,
Trials keep you strong,
Sorrows keep you human,
Life keeps you humble,
Success keeps you glowing,
But Only
GOD KEEPS YOU GOING

As many of you already know, Anthony is
having a very delicate procedure done this
coming week. It has something to do with his
bone marrow. From how Anita explained to me,
it is a rare blood disorder found in almost
one in a million people.
So, please pray along with the family that
all goes well for him. He may have to spend
the whole summer in Dallas, which to a young
man, that has to be very hard not being able
to hang out with his buddies. But, what is one
summer if it means curing and saving his young
life from this disorder.
The family hero is JEREMY, Anthony's brother.
He matched Anthonys' blood and will be giving
Anthony his good,strong blood.
This bone marrow procedure does not involve
any surgery. (Praise God). It is all done
by blood transfusions.
Hopefully soon I can acquire Jr. and Anita's
address there in Dallas and have it posted so
that family or anyone who wishes to keep in
contact with them can do so. Oh, forgot to
inform you, this will take place At Baylor.
For right now though, let's keep Anthony in
our prayers. May God grant Jeremy, Jr. and Anita
the strength and courage to get through this
rough time in their lives.

Had my first appointment after surgery this past Monday
and everything seems to be going well.
No infections and swelling seems to be going down plenty.
I didn't realize it until they were removing the staples,
that I actually was carrying around 34 nice silver staples!
I've really never had this much pain after
the other replacements. I'm thinking maybe I take soooo
much pain medication for my arthritis, that I may
be immuned to simple pain meds. So, he had to
change the meds to something stronger. Wow!! A LOT STRONGER!!
Other than that it seems like I may be well on
my road to recovery. Till next time. Adios!
