Focus On Hope: Debbie
Focus On Hope is a year round program where those battling cancer can request to capture a special moment in their journey. Watching your hair fall out can be devastating. Like Jamie and Debbie, many choose to shave their head, rather than allowing cancer and chemo to dictate when they lost their hair. You can choose to take control of this part of your journey, and allow us to help you document this most memorable event. This is a complimentary service! If you would like to capture and embrace this time in your life, please join us for an intimate, complimentary photoshoot where makeup, hair & photography professionals have joined together to offer their services free of charge to help create a great experience for you. To take advantage of this opportunity or donate your professional services, please email us at photoshoot@jamieshope.org Click any of the images below to enlarge. ©Copyright 2014 Celebrate Life...

TEXANS FAN’S BIG HEART LANDS HER BIG SURPRISE
HOUSTON (KTRK) — The theme for Thursday’s game is “Texans Care,” and the Texans gave their fans the chance to win a set of tickets to see it in person. Contestants had to write a 250-word essay about the volunteer work they do and how it’s impacted others and themselves. Nova Sprague, an echocardiographer at MD Anderson, won. “I do ultrasounds on hearts, and so we make sure our cancer patients aren’t getting chemotherapy that will affect the heart,” says Sprague. She spends about 15 minutes with her patients daily and gets to know them well, but she has a special place in her heart for Jamie Gilmore. “She’s very hopeful. She cares about anyone involved with cancer, the patients and their families,” Sprague said. In 2012, Gilmore’s cancer — acinic cell carcinoma — relapsed for a fourth time. During treatment, Sprague performed cardiac ultrasounds regularly and got to know how big Gilmore’s heart really was. “It’s giant. Giant heart, it’s awesome,” Sprague said. Because Gilmore’s cancer is so rare, she started her own charity, Jamie’s Hope, to help raise funds for cancer research. “I’ve always been looking for something to do charity-wise, and it had a connection with MD Anderson, so I thought it was perfect for me,” Sprague said. When Sprague learned about the “Texans Care” contest to award volunteers with tickets to Thursday night’s game, she knew her work with Jamie’s Hope was perfect. “When we met, that’s the first thing we talked about. She goes all the time, and so we bonded on the Texans to begin with,” she said. She applied in a heartbeat....

Please say prayers for sweet Rorie!!
This is so horrible. No child should have to endure this #CancerSUCKS!!!! #EndCancer #TeamRorie Team Rorie – we need each and everyone of you more than ever. As many of you knew from our previous post that Rorie’s lung functions had slowly started to make little improvements which had re-lit the fire in our hearts and gave us that boost of motivation to keep fighting. As of the last few days Rorie hit a plateau with her breathing machine/ ventilator. She stayed stable for a few days making no improvement. Yesterday Rorie’s need for oxygen started to increase. The team of doctors is having to up the amount of oxygen she receives and also increase the amount of pressure she is receiving with every breathe while her blood/oxygen saturation are still dropping off. This morning we noticed Rorie was starting to swell on her arms and in her face. The doctors initially thought it was possibly a clot in her pic line where she receives majority of her medications so they ordered an ultrasound. While the technicians were performing the ultrasound a large bulge appeared on her stomach which really alarmed the doctors. After some discussion they decided to follow the ultrasound with an x-Ray. (Now this is where my emotions come into play and I knew it would be hard just typing this post) the x-Ray shows that with the significant amount of oxygen/pressure she is receiving, her lungs have stretched and oxygen is starting to seep into her body causing major discomfort. The only option the doctors have is to drop the amount of oxygen and pressure to see if...
