Her eyes are twinkling

She may be home tomorrow. Isn't that great?!! She is weak and will still need the feeding tube. But we may have her back in her own bed by tomorrow night. For the locals, she was moved out of the ICU and can get visitors. Call me to find out when a good time will be. Thank you for your prayers and love and meals. You are amazing people and your attention and care has made a huge difference to Jane and her whole family. I will let you know how the rehab is going.
On a side note, the only bad news we got last week was that her pathology report showed that some cells survived the chemo and radiation. This means that while she is technically cancer free, she has a significantly higher chance of it coming back. We are working on a nutritional program that may help to improve her chances and we will keep you posted!

(It is the 24th of March, I just started this on the 18th and couldn't get back to it. The computer is lying to you)

Game Time

All right guys, we need a moment of your time. Miss Jane will be having her surgery first thing in the morning. The bad news so far has been that she has been mostly unable to eat for the past three weeks. Subsequently, she is getting very weak and she has been in pain. The good news is that her spirit is still positive and she is "putting one foot in front of the other" and marching toward tomorrow. As anyone can imagine, she is apprehensive. So this is where you come in. We humbly ask that you take a minute and pray. It does matter and we are all grateful for every moment of it you have given our family so far. Please pray for her to have courage, for her doctors and nurses to care about her personally and do their best work, for her to heal quickly, and for her safety all the way through this to the end. I will try to update this as often as I can so that you all know how her progress is going. We love you all and thank you for caring about us. God Bless.

She's home!

Well, on Monday I came into her room and she told me it was time. So, we packed up their things (boy were there a lot of things) and schlepped her to Amboy. We unloaded and unpacked and got her settled and she seemed very happy to be home where it is quiet and there are no Baby Signing Time DVDs. Although, I will say, over the course of their stay at the Chateau McClintock, Mom and Dad's sign language ability really improved. It must be osmosis.
At any rate, you can now direct your well wishes and beautiful gifts and cards northward. I will keep updating as she progresses. God bless.
