No more pills for now!!

Thanksgiving was good and thank you to all that gave out a hand and offered so many things for my family, it especially means the world to Danny and I.  Mom has been home which has been a nice change compared to the hospital life for all of us.  Her hair is beginning to fall out from the chemo but she is not to worried about that which is good.  Her good white blood levels have reached a point where for now she does not need to take all of the antibiotic pills.  This is good and means that for a few days she is less vulnerable to infection.  She will be going back into the hospital on Tuesday for another week or two of chemo. 

Thank you again for all of your support and generosity towards my family.

Hey Lynn

Hey Lynn, 

There's not a day that goes by that I don't reflect on you, your incredible being and what your going through.

I send my prayers, good wishes, and anything else spiritual I can put together.

I will read at church this Sunday at Providence Mt. St. Vincent, and will put in a good word for you!

Love and caring to you,

Katy and Mike Hanson

Hi Lynn!
A little musical greeting from your classroom:



The "tape" ran out right at the juicy good part, but we bet you can finish the song!

Happy Thanksgiving from Room 22!

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Lynn, Colin and Danny - So glad you are together for the holiday - at home. My family is thinking of your family and sending gobbles of prayers and cranberry bowls full of vibrant thoughts of a memory making day.

Thank you Colin for putting this site together so all of your extended family and friends can check in.

All our love,
Pam (aka Mrs Rogers), Jim, Danny, Jesse, Taylor and baby Dawson (aka our gorgeous grandson)

HOME!!!

Mom is home for a few days to be with us for thanksgiving. Her blood count levels were not where they were suppose to be but i think it was safer for the doctors to release her than to try to hold her there.  She must go back to the doctor everyday that she is out but at least she is home.  Here at home hand sanitizer has turned into the new lotion and bacteria is the enemy.  Thank you all again for your unconditional support of my family, and trust me it does not go unnoticed.  My moms spirits are high and she is enjoying the simple things in life like the sun, birds, home, and joking around with my brother and i.  Thank you all again.

Dear Mr. Leu Kemia

Dear Mr. Leu Kemia,
I think it is time to surrender and remember who you are...the kind, generous, loving healthy cells that spread health and re-generation throughout Lynn's body. We all become confused sometimes, you just took a wrong turn somewhere and we are all ready to forgive you and live and let live; no shame, no blame. No one will think you are a wussy, you are the warrior, the gatekeeper that tells all the other cells what to do, get them in shape and tell them what formation they are to march in, they need a leader. You will not be alone,Dr. White is on your team and he will help you lead the effort.
Healthy cells unite forever!!
From,
All of us who care for and love Lynn

From Lynn 11/24/08 Day 14

Greeting from 1242. I've emerged from the fog and delighted to report that all is doing well. prognoses are difficult as yet but i'm told i'm moving in the right direction. Everything they say about the challenges of chemo are true, but i will spare the details for you. will i do it again and again if necessary?... you bet. Brushing my teeth and slurping down a bit of chicken soup were beautiful moments and a shower is nothing less than glorious.

My heart swells with the love and support that descend from every direction and each of you must know that you contribute to my smiles and ability to continue moving forward each day.

Thank you!!!
