Jen got good news today in that she will only have to go to the clinic 3 days a week. She has been going everyday including weekends and it was really starting to take a toll on her. This is very encouraging news!!
I hope Jen feels the progress she is making. She is doing so great and Dave and my mom have taken such good care of her.
We try to keep the blogs on the positive side...I say we but this is only my second time blogging. But anyway..my mom tries to report the facts and leave out what we think Jen is feeling. Hopefully soon Jen will tell her story. But, tonight I feel so compelled to express what a living hell this is. No one should ever have to be put through the agony that Jen has gone through. No mother or husband or child or sister should ever have to see someone they love suffer. When this started we were so focused on the beginning and the end. Jen was diagnosed and that was heartbreaking and scary. But, then we moved on to...What do we do? How do we fix it? There is no mention of the middle. The recovering part...the patience part...the waiting part...
I know this is the hardest part for my sister..
I see the frustration in her eyes. I know she wishes she was progressing faster. She is exhausted. She is weak. She is discouraged at times. She feels negative. She feels anger. She is scared. She wants to go home. But, she keeps going and she is amazing!
Alot of pictures have been taken. But, the pictures are on several different cameras and once I can compile them all we will be able to post them in some type of order. Until then I want to share the most recent one taken on Halloween. She's beautiful...isn't she?

ReplyDeleteLook at you Jen!!!! Beautiful as ever, GI Jane move over. Glad to see your great beaming smile. The kids look great too. Sorry to hear of the living hell you've been through (and your family) and you're right Meg, no one should ever have to go through this. This disease is tough and that is why the treatment is so tough. But it needs to be conquered. Thanks Meg for writing straight from the heart. It makes me cry when you write, but it brings it closer to us who read it. Thanks to all of you for blogging. I look everyday for a post. I look forward to when Jen starts to post because that will be part of her healing, no matter what the tone is or what she says. I know it will make me cry and laugh and run the full range of emotions. I'm ready to read it and help by responding, since I'm not physically there. I'm there in spirit.
