Auntie M here with an apology to the loyal followers of It’s Jo Time! I have severely neglected my duties as chief website poster/relayer of Casey’s updates the past few (many!) months. There are plenty of reasons why, but no good excuses — suffice to say I am very sorry. The only upside is that our last scan was positive! Woohoo!!

I will go back and post a few updates from Casey from the last few months, so check out previous posts if you’re curious. Jo had another scan today (7/31/19), so I’ll get the newest update out when we have it! Promise 🙂

As always, thank you all so incredibly much for the love and support you’ve poured into our family over the past year+. It has been an unreal journey, but your love and good energy has helped make such a difference! XO

‪#ItsJoTime fans, it’s scan day. Not only that, it’s surgery day to remove her access port. She’s super excited to see all her docs and nurses, not excited to lose this lifeline that’s been a part of her for more than a year. Red lipstick, happy thoughts, and prayers appreciated!‬

What a difference a year makes! Jo’s last radiation treatment was one year ago today. So thankful our agenda this year includes friends, pool time, and playing outside with no feeding tube. #ItsJoTime

Most days I’m totally ok, not thinking about Jo’s cancer. But then there are mornings when her singing a specific song loudly in the car on the way to school makes tears stream down my face. Thinking of all of our friends who are still fighting their fights today, particularly those who got tough news this week. We’re with you. Keep fighting. You are so strong.
