Posted by: thepinetree on 01/22/2014 08:41 AM

Arnold, CA...Trey took an emergency helicopter ride to UC Davis Children’s Hospital on December 12, 2013. There, he was diagnosed with Lymphoma a few days later. Many, many tests were done and he started Chemo treatments on December 20. After 26 days in the hospital, he came home Monday, January 6, and is so happy to be there!! It was Trey’s request that the family wait to celebrate Christmas until he could come home. So, the family had Christmas Eve on Tuesday, January 7, and enjoyed a nice quiet Christmas Day on Wednesday. Trey and his parents, Mike and Danielle Jarnagin, want everyone to know that there are no words to describe their appreciation for all the support, prayers and good wishes that they have received during their stay at the hospital and now at home. “Thank You” is not enough!! It made a huge difference!! Mike refers to this as a”Tsunami of Love” from all of the friends and family of this “Awesome Community”!!! It’s all been overwhelming!!
