Update: Giants PR Contaxt

I know this isn’t the typical sports post but I thought i owed you guys an update.

First off, I want to say thank you to all of you who read my last post, for reaching out and providing potential contacts within the team, for donating, or for posting a kind message. Many of you have asked for an update and to be honest I just haven’t wanted to write one. Not because I’m not appreciative but that I don’t like the update.

Basically, the cancer is not cooperating.

The good news was that I had been in touch with a couple of people within the team and with the licenseplateguy. It seems like they are/were trying to make something special happen for JP. There were several other names that you guys provided but I didn’t want to be annoying and reach out to everyone of them. However, it looks like Vegas isn’t in the cards this time. Unfortunately, JPs cancer is being aggressive but we are fighting back just as aggressively. This has required JP to be hospitalized since the 9th for treatment. There is a small possibility he can come home before Christmas but he most likely won’t have an immune system because of the treatment and we wouldn’t want to put him at risk by traveling. If by some miracle, his counts recovered by next weekend we would love to take him to Vegas but that most likely won’t happen.

I hate cancer!!! I hate that I can’t make this better. I hate that we can’t surprise JP with an amazing weekend trip. I hate that kids have to deal with their own mortality. However, I am so grateful that you guys reached out and tried to help. We still want to get JP to a game but it most likely won’t be this year. If any of you want to follow JP’s journey, he is on Instagram @jpgibsonjr.
