April 19, 2016 - Jan's Birthday!

For Jan's birthday they made some exceptions and let her go home last night so Jan got to spend the night in her own bed and without constant interruptions!  They would typically make her stay another day if her treatment went past 7 pm but since it was her birthday, and she's become the nurses' favorite, they let her go.

Jan got some clarification on the medications they had her on and it turns out she is superwoman!  They were giving her some nausea medication for the hardest chemo going into her system but they assured her that she should be much more sick than she was and that she was doing better than anyone on the oncology floor.  So go Jan!

She has some exhaustion still and due to the fact that her immune system is at risk, we are discouraging visits right now while her body is adjusting to things.  Even if you're healthy - we ask that you keep your distance.  While she has been cleared by her doctor to go to a lunch today, she has to wear her mask and she cannot hug ANYONE because her immune system is so weak.

So please keep your well wishes and warm greetings to just waves and signs of solidarity?

Jessa and Emery are here for Jan this week so she has a housekeeper, chauffeur, cook, and a snuggly cuddler approved by her doctor to see that she's taken care of.

She had an early booster shot to help her immune system this morning, but the rest of the day will be spend with family and treating herself to whatever birthday fun her body will allow.

Thanks again to everyone for the love, support and prayers - we can definitely see their help in her fight!
