Hey Sharon! Nicole here!

Thanks for asking about Jackson, he's doing great! He received his
final treatment on July 31, and his counts came up faster than ever,
allowing him to return to school only one day late. We were afraid
he'd miss the first couple of weeks of school, but he didnt! His
port (the internal line) came out last week, and his hair is
gradually coming back (about 1/2 inch now). We are all so thrilled
that this is over, and really really appreciate the concern and well-
wishes from everyone. Jackson said last week that now that his hair
is coming back, and his port is out, that he can be "a normal kid
again." That's pretty intense coming from him, because he's never
really expressed that he felt different or shown much psychological
affect from all of this...just goes to show how well he hid it.

I will be at the tourney this weekend, and maybe I can bring him by
late Sunday to say hello to everyone.

See you guys!!!

Nicole
