Hey Jenna!
I love reading your updates! Even though I've only met you a few times, I can just hear your voice when I'm reading them. I'm so happy that things are going so well for you. You are such an inspiration to me and I think its so awesome (and a little freaky) how many random things we have in common! I think I'm gonna hafta take you up on your offer of hanging out this fall when I'm getting chemo. My next one will be outpatient so I'm stoked about that! Well I would love to get together with you if you're ever in the cities, give me a call. Have fun working at Target for me! Much love!

hey jenna! i'm so glad to hear that your tests turned out well. it's one more reason to be thankful to God. it's also so good to hear that you've found a couple girls who can relate to you and your illness. i'm sure they're so happy to have met you too. i wish you and your relay for life team the best with your fundraising. you guys are doing an awesome thing. let me know when you want to talk more dance or whatever :) i'll talk to you later!

Your entry made Dr. Anderson at MD Anderson not only smile, but laugh! I'm really enjoying it in Texas. Lots of osteosarcoma challenges. Fortunately, South Padre Island didn't get damaged in the Hurricane, so it should remain a great destination for windsurging doctors and college students at spring break, too.

HI Jenna
Just got a note from my brother in law he was in a relay for life on LI They did really well.He raised $1,000 and his team $3,000 and the South Huntington area raised well over $ 150,000. It was the largest 1st-time fundraiser ever held on LI. He is a 4th grade teacher and wanted to do it. I got luminaries in memory of my dad and aunt.I hope your Relay was just as successful.Take Care Jenna. Continue to give of your positive spirit, the blessings in return will be unmeassurable. Hugs,

Hi Jenna: Thanks for the update and the wonderful news that everything is going good. Sounds like you're having a busy, but nice, summer. Our Relay for Life is August 5th and our team is called the Cinnamon Rollers, so naturally we will be selling cinnamon rolls (and other cinnamon things). Last year we got rained out so hopefully this year the weather will cooperate better. Joel got a $l,000 American Cancer Society Scholarship so they will be honoring him with that during the program. Did you ever apply for that scholarship? It sounds like each geographic area gets scholarships for their survivors. He would'nt go to the Relay last year but I guess this year he plans to go. Keep the updates coming and have a good remainder of the summer. Tell your Mom "Hi" from me.

Hi Jenna
My daughter Liz is 13 (almost 14) and has osteosarcoma. You visited her several months ago at the UofM Children's Center Fairview. It is great for her to meet young people who have been on this journey. It helps her to feel like she is not the only one and there is a life after cancer. We were hoping to go to the HOPE picnic last saturday, but Liz was in the hospital and still is. Take Care and keep up the positive spirit! Live Strong

What great news you got and gave to everyone. I was wondering when you were to be going for more evaluation. I have to imagine that it is a little bit of an anxious time to go to Rochester for tests. I am happy to see that a cancer survivor is leading the Tour De France and looks on his way to winning it for the seventh year in a row. That is absolutley amazing. As for Kyle, he was smart enough to be a basketball player, so he should be smart enough to take care of himself in a foreign country. It was fun to read such and upbeat update.

I just finished reading your up date. I am glad that you are doing so well. It really is fun to be able to talk to people who are going thru the same things. A friend of mine just passed away the first part of July. She had been fighting her cancer for about 2 years. I sure do miss her. We had fun talking about the doctors at Mayo. We thought they all looked like they were at least 15 years old....Enjoy the rest of the summer. I retire from my job soon..........After today, I have 14 working days left. I can hardly wait...Take care and stay well.

I am so glad all is well with you. Working at that upscale store Target' as we call it-All right. My daughter, Julie likes to go there up near school at Princeton. I wonder is it Laura Jahnke you are speaking of. She was friends with Amy Mareck and lives in Minnesota and goes to school here in VA- Sweet Briar? I lost track of her when I lost some email addresses. if it is her I am glad she is well.Sounds like you have been busy. Ihave enjoyed my month off as well. Heading to Hawaii the end of July for a week . Haven't been there since 1980! It should be fun. Stay well..When is the Pet being repeated 3 or 6months?.

Hi Jenna & Family: Was just checking in on you, and patiently waiting for an update. I see from one of your guest entries that you are working at Target. That's great. Joel is having a good summer. He's working at Moondance Ranch again this year and next week end is Moondance Jam so he'll be pretty busy. All is well with him, his next check up will be sometime in August before college starts. He was planning to go to UMD but decided to do Brainerd CLC atleast for the first year. Take care!

Glad to hear all is going well. Keeping you still in my prayers and thoughts. I love APril spring and also my birthday month but when you add another 0 to the end one knows another 10 yrs have come and gone but oh heck it is still a blast! Life is good. You got to make the most of each day. Sounds as if you understand that and are doing just that in serving others. When we are lost in the service of others we are closer to out Father in Heaven and feel of His spirit. We gain insight and so much inner peace and joy. Best of luck in your upcoming relays. and of course school stuff. hugs,

I don't know how you can do all that and still have time for school. Here's to snowflakes in eyelashes and hair. What a great image. You have to let me take a picture some time.

Hi Jenna: I was so excited to see you updated your site and even more excited to read that everything is going well. Glad college life is treating you well and your keeping busy. Joel's getting ready for graduation. He is actually out in San Diego for spring break visiting his brother this week. (Does that count as "getting ready for graduation"? He was planning on attending UMD next fall but I think he's now going to go to Central Lakes College in Brainerd for a while and then transfer to UMD later. That plan could change at any time also!! Have a good Easter Break. Tell your mom "Hi" from us. One more thing, that really is too bad about Dr. Anderson leaving. Once Joel was diagnosed we really didn't have him too much after that, but we did enjoy him, and appreciate his knowledge and all he did for the oncology department. See ya. Love Kathy

Hi Jenna - whew...I always get a bit nervous when you have to take trips back to Rochester. But, nothing to fear! Your mom told me the good news at work this morning. We are so glad that the results are AWESOME!!!!!! It is very sad, though, that Dr Anderson is going to Texas. But, as you have learned in the past, if you need to see Dr Anderson again, there are many, many people who will help get you to him! I hear that Padre Islands are quite nice to visit... And there is a great NASCAR track in Texas....We are very disappointed that the Tim Orth Fundraiser is cancelled for tonight. Carter and Alysha were really looking forward to it. (so was I). But, we will shovel the driveway and build snowmen and snow angels, only to have them turn into a muddy mess by Sunday. I am glad that school is going well. Isn't college the experience of a lifetime? Take care Jenna. Oh yeah, if you get a free moment and want to take the kids off my hands - just let me know!!!!

Hi Jenna! It has been forever that I have signed your guestbook. I hear that you are doing quite well. I, too, have had a bad sinus infection this winter - it lasted a good month. But, of course, I didn't go to the doctor. It finally went away on its own. Relay for Life, huh? Carter and Alysha have already asked when they get to go back and help with the New Ulm team. So - you have myself and 2 kinda-sorta helpers for Aug! Life has been very busy for all of us. Barry started a winter basketball league, I started yoga (with your mom), Carter continues in wrestling and starts basketball this weekend and Alysha continues in dance (Just for Kix). I think I will try and get Alysha signed up for ballet in Mankato over the summer. I also continue to teach at MSU-M, so we rarely have any down time and the word "bored" doesn't exist in our vocabulary. Well, I gotta run. I hope the classes this semester are going great. Oh and by the way, if you are looking for a funny movie to watch, Barry and I watched "Without a Paddle" last weekend and it is SOOOOO funny. I can guarantee you will laugh out loud if you see it. Take care and always thinking of you...

Hope to decorate the tree tonight.Getting in the spirit of CHristmas. Got some visits to make, carols to sing, gifts to wrap, cards to write, friends to call, cookies to bake, BUT in it all time to reflect. They say"Wise men/women still seek HIM".

Jenna, I apologize for not visiting your site for so long, life was very hectic at our home for the last number of months. Regardless of that, you have remained a constant in our daily prayers. Every night at bedtime, we mention your name and ask that God bless you with the miracle of returning your health. All of our prayers have been answered. You truly are a miracle. It strengthens my faith and my belief in the power of prayer to know what you have survived. We will continue to thank God for returning your health. I will never forget a conversation I had with your mom shortly after you were diagnosed. She asked, �What ever happened to miracles? We used to hear about them, why don�t we anymore?� I had no answer, but to share a tearful embrace. If ever asked that question again, I will have an answer. Miracles do still happen. Then, I will share the story of Jenna Langer.

Dear Jenna
Hi Probably back at school,even with the work find joy. You have been given a miracle. Never doubt it.You know the roller coaster of emotions you have experienced. I can not even come close to imagining what this year has been like. This experience has influenced you and others in so many ways. I have learned that through our trials and adversities we grow and glean insight into what is important. We gain wisdom and knowledge. All this should bring us closer to the Lord. Praying for your continued health and wellness. Please continue to pray for AMY for the Lord has a plan for her. May we continue in faith. Hugs,

hey jenna! wow, i couldn't be happier with God's plan for you! this news is absolutely the best news i've heard in a long time, and i'm so happy for you! i was just thinking about apple valley and how much we missed u last year. if i could go back a year and tell myself that you would be okay a year from then (if that makes sense) i would not have believed myself. God truly works in mysterious ways. i'm so glad you got your miracle. i couldn't think of anyone who is more deserving. God Bless! luv~sharon

HI Jenna, I know your mom. I used to be a family facilitator in new ulm, until I got preg. with triplets and became a stay at home mom. Your mom had my old job then. Teresa Johnson had told me about this stite. It is great that you are now a cancer survivor. We are in the same "Club" now. I was diag. with thryroid cancer this past spring a few months after the birth of my singleton baby. I had surgery which was a huge success and am now cancer free too. Just wanted to introduce myself and congratulate you on your wonderful news...

Hi Jenna:

Sorry I haven't written for so long. I changed jobs and now have an e-mail address for you and your Dad. Macy and Lucy got American Girl dolls for Christmas last year and they love them. They get the catalog every month. They are always asking about you and I told them I would write to you today and let you know you are always in our thoughts and prayers. By the way loved the pointy shoes. Kurt used to wear shoes like that. Glad to hear you are feeling better and we will keep thinking and praying for you.

Bonjour mademoiselle,
I was thinking back to last Thanksgiving and how nice it is to be able to go to your mom's house instead of the hospital for dinner. (Although as she says, it really worked out well.) We of course have all of our fingers crossed for good scan results. Charlie showed up last night, and we'll be coming down tomorrow with pumpkin cheesecake and some other goodies. Emily is looking forward to seeing Madeline and maybe doing some Christmas cookies with you...if you can squeeze it in. See you soon!

Hi Jenna...just got caught up on your life (I've been so busy with grad school I only do research anymore on the computer). As I read your last entry pondering on your life's work (which I hate to tell you, we all do our entire lives) I came up with something I think you would just love. It is actually something I considered as an undergrad and I can't tell you now why I didn't continue on, but suffice it to say, life just took me in a different direction. Anyway, there is a career in the hospital called Child Life Specialist. You are the person that takes the child through all the procedures, etc. that they will experience. Tours of the hospital, soothing nerves, to see the operating room, answering questions, etc. I think there is a lot more to it, and it may even fall under somewhat of a nursing area, but as a person that has gone through all that you have, it would be worthwhile to look into it. Your positive attitude continues to amaze me, as I'm not sure I would have your same strength and attitude. Best wishes to you and your family for a joyous holiday season and especially a great thanksgiving. We all have much to be thankful for (YOU) and your never ending positive fight. This is my all time favorite holiday, even though my life has changed so drastically, I still will have much to be thankful for and everyone at my table will groan as I make them go around the table and tell what it is they are grateful for. I've done this since the kids were little, and it was easier then. Believe it or not Amy will be joining me this year, with her bf, who I've met once and don't know much about, but plan on being quite nosy. Not sure if she's been in touch with you or not, I know she was wanting to see you when you got to the TC. Take good care of you and send my love to your family, especially give mom a big hug for me. I miss you all. I ran into Sue Z at the library the other day and we shed a few tears together over missing playgroup from 14 years ago. Can you believe it's been that long since we all first met? I can't hardly, but remember it like it was yesterday. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Love, Nanci

I'm taking that this spring. You will have to email me and let me know a little about it, when you have time that is. It was great talking to you on the phone the other day. I will call again when I"m down just to say hi. Anyway just saying hi and that I'm thinking you

Eat at Comstock sometime. It's the dorm Laura Schmitz and I lived in Freshmen year and it was rated #1 in food service for a number of years. I don't know if the same guy still runs the kitchen but he used to order chicken nuggets from the same place McDonald's did and curly fries from the same place Hardee's did. The food was always awesome and we ate there all the time!
Take care babe.

Hi Jenna
Glad you got home for a visit. It is always good to rekindle friendships and get the love of family. It feeds the soul. Papers.. I remember my kids had many of those the first semesters esp from Englsh and history classes. I found they would give the topic and sometimes if I saw articles I would email them things. They picked, read and chose what they wanted & added too.Every little bit helps. It wasn't too often BUT when 3 things are due at once it helps to get some reference points to begin with.I know they were thankful. PT or OT sounds good You need some biology and anatomy& phys. classes. Why not dance or fine arts as a minor? You love that. My daughter took 2 classes of dance as electives and loved it. Sign language is a fun thing to learn too, good for commmunication with the deaf and any rehab patients. I like it because it is like an artform of the hands.Have fun choosing.Hope you got your paper done(haha) Hugs...

Jenna, Sounds like Madison was fun. Glad to hear you weren't any of the arrested ones!:) Can you believe we leaned the high kick dance in 4 practices! Lots of perfecting to do though. I leave for Vegas on Thursday so should be a fun weekend, just me and the girls. I hope I don't get arrested. We're going to Coyote Ugly, maybe I'll get to dance on the bar with the Coyotes, wouldn't that be fun. Well, hoping you the best in school and your in my prayers always. Hope to see you in Apple Valley!

Hi Jenna
I went to Washington DC with friends yesterday and put your name on the prayer roll at our temple. You will be prayed for by people for 2weeks. I hope you have a good week. That should take us to just before rescan time. We have off THurs , Veteran's Day and I am looking forward to that. Maybe I can get some Christmas shopping done.Hugs,

Hey there stranger! Well, we just finished learning the dance last night. Can you believe it? We learned it all in 4 days....I think that is a record. I think that you will like the dance...talk about pinwheel maddness!! We had a tough time teaching that...imagine that:) Just a little heads up for competitions...we'll be at Apple Valley on Dec. 4th and of course GFW on the 11th. Ok, enough about dance. Sounds like you are still enjoying yourself up there. Good for you!! I think that you need to start carrying a camera with you at all times in case you see any more celebs. You just never know when they might pop up:) I suppose I should get back to work now:( Enjoy the weekend...sounds like it's going to be nice!

Hi Jenna - it is time for my weekly guestbook entry. I am so glad you had a great time at Madison. You gotta love State Street. I really miss Mad-town, and New Ulm is really no replacement for the diversity and culture of Madison. To the reader who is interested in UW-Stout - my recommendations to you are to GO FOR IT. I went to Stout for my undergrad and it was the BEST experience. Wigen is the dorm to be in...Alysha had her first Just For Kix dance performance last Saturday. They performed at the Nicollet football play off game. Yes, it was very, very, very cold and windy - but those little dancers danced their hearts out and did awesome. Jenna - you would be proud of the moves that little lady has. She can really shake her booty! Carter continues to be challenging. We have been arguing about the election. Prior to the election results, Carter was sure Bush was going to win and that Kerry was a loser. He was sent to his room numerous times for comments like that (all in good fun, he knew he really wasn't in trouble). Now, I can't live it down at home. I hear all the time that George W Bush is still the president. Anyway, praying for you and Amy. Stay warm, and for heaven's sake, get rid of those pointy shoes!!!

Hey Jenna:

You aren't the only one that has these "celebrity sightings". I saw Josh Hartnett here in Mankato. It was kinda wierd...he looked just like a regular guy. Someone was driving him around in a rental car. I was near Country Inn and Suites (the one by TGI Fridays) when they drove by me. Wow....now that's two sightings for me...George W. Bush and Josh Hartnett...who would have thought...in Mankato!

well jenna glasses will be fun. I always wanted to have glasses, but wanted no contacts.A couple weeks ago I went to Stout to do some testing and to see where my interests are and also to see if I should be going to college. It was a lot of fun, I also got to stay in the dorms.

Halloween was so fun here. Almost mid 80's BBQ, carving pumpkins, parade trick or treaters, family dinner,etc It was special. Glad you got away safe from that crowd -sounds like NYC. Take Care.

Sorry I haven't written in awhile, I guess school and work keeps us all pretty busy! SOunds like you are having an amazing time at college. I'm so glad to hear that...I can't say the same for my freshman year! I'm also glad to hear that you still miss NU. I don't think that will ever leave me. Sorry about the glasses but hey it's not the end of the world. At least now you are beyond the age when people call you "four-eyes" and actually mean it in a bad way! Yeah we can all sorta grow up! You also sound like you have a much better Halloween planned-I've heard Madison is pretty crazy! (Be safe!) I get to work this whole weekend! Yeah for Stacy!

Madison is an awesome school and REALLY fun to party at so have a good time! My own hair is rapidly falling out...call it a "getting older, had a baby" kind of thing. Whatever it is, it's all over. And yes, I do pluck the greys because I'm only 23!!! And why is it then women have to shave practically everything and men don't have to shave a thing? There's something screwy in that logic.
Have a fantabulous time with your new college friends and you old home friends.

Hi Jenna - I am anxious to see your new do. You really should update the pics on the site so all can see what you are looking like these days. A few pics of the dorm room would be nice too...:) The deal about glasses - I know how that sucks. After my eye surgery (no lasik) I had to go back to wearing glasses most of the time and it is really hard to get used to them again. But, cute little glasses are quite cool. I actually like to believe that those who wear glasses are smarter and prettier than those who don't !! :)I am sure you are beautiful with the new specs. The bible verse on your site was so good to read. It has been a few very challenging weeks at work and sometimes it seems like there is just too much to deal with. Continue to enjoy all of the goodness of college. Praying for you always,

Hey Jenna~
So I linked to several caringbridge sites through several other caringbridge sites and on, and on, and on. It's absolutely gut-wrenching to see so many sites because it means so much sickness and sadness and ill people. I just couldn't get over how many links there were and all the ones I didn't even click on. The sites of children are especially heart-breaking. There was a three year old that had died in June and I just broke down in tears because Noah is the same age and this mother was talking about her little boy's last words. Dearest Jenna, you are so brave. And your courage and strength is inspirational. But you must do one thing for me, hug your mom tight next time you see her. I can't imagine her worries for you and how much she would like to fix everything for you but can't. I finally understand it all now because I'm a mommy. There is nothing more painful that seeing your child hurting when there is nothing you can do.
I can't remember the bible verse right now, but it's something about "fighting the good fight." Keep up your remarkable attitude and just know that we're all praying for you.
Sarah :-)

Sleepy Eye, MN USA - Tuesday, October 19, 2004 10:06 PM CDT

Jenna, it sure sounds like you are enjoying what the University of Minnesota has to offer. Ann and I spent one summer living in the cities and taking classes at the U. It sure seemed that there was always something to do at the U. or in the twin cities. It offered a great contrast to the small Catholic colleges we both went to. If you are going to meet a celebrity, next time make it a basketball player, someone worthwhile. Shoot for Kevin Garnett. You have always shown good taste in preferring basketball types. When you had the play get together at your house this summer, I was sitting and talking to Kyle. Someone came up to us and started talking about the Twins. Kyle just looked at the person and said "You are talking to a couple of die hard basketball guys." I always thought Kyle had good taste, and then I knew it. We might be the only people in the New Ulm/Sleepy Eye area who prefer basetball over any other sport. I hope your upcoming series of tests go well. I know they are a while off, but you surely have to know that there are a ton of people hoping and praying for the best results. I am just amazed to hear how you fit 36 hours of activity into a 24-hour day.

WE HAD ANOTHER BUSY WEEKEND OF FARMING. LYLE HAD HIS "THIRD" INCIDENT WITH HIS NEWLY PURCHASED GRAIN CART SO MAYBE WE ARE GOOD TO GO IN THAT DEPARTMENT. YESTERDAY MORNING HE RAN OVER HIS PHONE WITH THE CART. IT DID STOP WORKING AT THAT POINT BUT MAYBE COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED HOWEVER, NORM GOT A HOLD OF IT AND NOW THERE IS NO HOPE.

Michael Bunnett, wow that's really cool and he wanted your number, even better. I met him a couple weeks ago at the football game, he is pretty cool. I think I might even have a picture on my site of him and I. That's way to cool though. You should have asked for a ride in the hummer, around campus, then you could show off to everyone that you know Michael : ) I still need to get my flu shot as well. Yah the U doesn't get them unti lthe end of this month. So I have to wait just yet, no big deal though. Thanks for the prayer request. I found out this morning it's going to be the 26th, next Tuesday at 8 in the morning, so by night or afternoon I shoud be out of my wacked out stage from the sleep meds. I will email though later. But anyway Just wanted to stop and say hi. I'll be thinking of you when you take your midterms tomorrow. Good luck with those.

I just wanted to tell you also that I even got homesick in Mankato! It is pathetic I know, but I did! It has everything to do with your comfort zone! But once I met more people and became more involved it helped take my mind off of home somewhat. It does help not to go home every weekend, but I talked to my family everyday! It will get better, I promise! I have to stop procrastinating now and do some more studying! :( I hope your classes continue to go well! Lots of love and prayers

Dear Jenna
Hi! Back from a NY family visit. I was checking some of my caring bridge friends when I was happily surprised to see your entry in AMY's guest book. She is AWESOME. I have written AMY for over a year. I am so glad you two connected. I wish I could meet you both but you 2 definately need to meet and share your experiences. Sounds like you had some encounter with the football player. I remember meeting a star once & having a personal chat and it is exciting. Now calm down- back to reality, the job at hand-- FRENCH midterm in less than 48 hrs. You can do it. Good luck on your midterms. Take care. Get some extra rest this week if you had the flu shot.Oh by the way I too carry the benadryl and epi-pen for lots of food allergies. Just read labels and it is not worth the risk to try something without knowing. I have learned the hard way and several ER trips in my life too. (haha). I ask ingredients too when I eat out. In the scheme of life it is a little thing that you can manage. Be Well, Praying your mind is clear, rested and packed with the information you need for Tuesday. Use linkages for memory retention, picture the information in your mind from your notes and readings,etc. I am sure you will do great. Good night

Hi Jenna! Sorry to have missed you a the football game on Friday. I was planning on coming over, then I ended up spending the day at Pumpkin Land with Carter and his class, then he had to get to a birthday party. It was actually nice to stay home and get some housework done. That sounds bad, huh? Spending a Friday night doing housework and liking it?!?! We have been super busy with school, work, teaching, dance class, softball and cub scouts. It is nice to actually have the whole family home for an evening and not have stuff to go to. Both Carter and Alysha are doing great. It was interesting last Saturday when Carter returned home from the birthday party. I couldn't find Alysha so I went searching for her. I found her in her bed crying. I asked what was wrong and she stated "I didn't want Carter to come home". Guess she likes not being picked on all the time when he is gone! She is very excited about Halloween, Christmas and her birthday, even though that isn't until May. Every commericial that is on I hear her saying "I want that for..." It is nice to hear that you are doing well at school and that you like to come home for visits. That is VERY normal for college freshman! I hear you have great hair! Well, gotta run.

His senior year is going pretty good. Next week we go to Shriner's for a new leg and then on to Rochester the 19th & 20th for his 9 month checkup. Pray that everything goes well!!

HEY JENNA AND LISA, WHAT FUN YOU HAD THIS WEEKEND, GOOD FOR YOU AND ALSO GOOD FOR THE HOUNDS! IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO WIN THE HOMECOMING GAME. BEING EXCITED ABOUT THE DENTIST IS A LITTLE SCARRY...I HAD A KOHL'S DATE ON SATURDAY NIGHT-NOT THE KIND YOU HAD! 3 OF MY FRIENDS AND I MADE A "MIDNIGHT RUN" AS LYLE CALLED IT TO KOHL'S SINCE I HAD THE 30% OFF FLYER. WE FILLED THE CAR AND THEN STOPPED FOR MARGARITAS. IT HELPED TO ERASE THE MEMORY OF ALL THE ASIAN BEETLES THAT AFTERNOON-IT WAS LIKE SNOWSTORM AT HOME. LAST NIGHT NORM WAS EATING CORN FROM THE UNLOADING SITE LIKE IT WAS HIS LAST MEAL. HE HAS NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE, IT MUST BE THE HIGH MOISTURE CORN - I HAD TO PUT HIM IN THE SHOP SO HE WOULD STOP EATING. I REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENS TO SHEEP WHEN THEY DO THAT...KEEP STAYING WELL, I WILL PRAY FOR YOUR EYES, LYLE HAD VERY BAD DOUBLE VISION AFTER ALL HIS STUFF BUT WORKED THROUGH THAT SO I WILL HOPE FOR GOOD RESULTS FOR YOU.

Jenna:
It was great to see you at the homecoming game. When I looked at all the 2004 grads in a group talking & "catching up" it was hard to believe it was over a year ago when it was your senior homecoming. As far as bugging your mom with a "need" list, Eric is the same so it must be a freshman college/dorm thing. It doesn't bother me so I'm sure it doesn't bother your mom either. We love to be needed!!!!!! Take care, enjoy college life & know that many prayers continue to come your way!

Hello from a fellow U of M grad! It's so nice to check your website and only find news from you once a week or so and then only upbeat updates about your college life... what a difference a year can make! Hope you enjoy the insanity of dorm life and the rich diversity of the U, I don't know if there are any crazier places to be! I continue to pray for your health and hope good news abounds when you get back to Mayo. Take care of yourself and remember, your mom is probably relishing every moment you are at home and "milking" her for those needs!

Hey Jenna! It was awesome to see you at the pepfest and the game. I have some very exciting news. I don't know if you saw him but there was a mullet at the football game on Friday. He doesn't go to our school but he is a friend of a freshmen so he was at the dance. Jordan and I could hardly contain ourselves so we went and got a picture with him. (he said he would be honored to pose with us) Then during the second slow dance I found myself partnerless so I sought out the mullet. His name is Kent. I ran my fingers through his mullet while we danced (and while all my friends laughed at me) and it was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. I just wanted to share my joy with you for I now have my first mullet picture. Have a good day! :)

Hi Jenna - It was very nice seeing you at the Homecoming Game friday night. It sounds as if school and everything else are going good for you, so that's great!

Glad to hear things are going OK. Life got busy on this end with our kids heading back to school, too.

I'm baching it the weekend of Oct 15-17, so let me know if you (and even roomie/friends) want a change of scenary and want to hang out in Woodbury. Suburbia life is so exciting! We could compare our gray hairs (oh wait, mine's a lovely auburn color).

I am glad to hear that you are still being your fun, positive self :) While I was cleaning my room, I found the card that you gave me before we danced at homecoming last year. Thank you so much for always helping me and pushing me to be the best dancer I can be. Now this year I am trying to do that to MY little sister. The Sonic's are performing at homecoming THIS Thrusday- and that is very soon! Anyways, keep trying those dance classes, even if the guys are all, um, odd!

Dear Jenna,
All of three of my U of M graduates knew that you would be attending the U. I was telling Maggie that you have classes on the West Bank and before I could say anything more, she said, "Oh, my gosh, I know it was probably Jenna who I passed on the campus." Maggie is my second child who after graduating from the U, volunteered in Equador for a year and is now in her second year of law school. If someone stops and intoduces herself as Maggie Lockner, just know that she is another cousin who has been praying for you. I am so happy for you and your family that you are doing so well. Enjoy the U and like I have always said, "You are just an inspiration to so many." Keep on dancing!!!
Love, Joanne

You have such an amazing spirit and I know that has helped you get through so much. Well next Thursday those Sonics get to show the school what their made of and I hope it goes well. Lisa and I have had to be pretty hard on them the last few practices, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Stay healthy and keep having fun at the U.

Hi Jenna - it has been quite awhile since I wrote to say hello. We have really been thinking about you a lot lately. What a year you've had! Your issues with cancer have educated a lot of people this past year. I, for one, can say that I have learned more about life in this past year than in all of my previous years. We pray every day that you stay healthy. I had a dream (keep in mind my dreams are very colorful and vivid) the other night that you didn't have to go back to Mayo for a whole year. What an awesome dream that was. I am feeling very positive that November will bring more good news from the docs at Rochester. Continue to enjoy life and take advantage of every positive opportunity you can. Always praying for your spirit to stay strong.

College times are so challenging, fun, overwhelming, exciting, tiring, interesting, it is a whirlwind time of experience and growth. Just remember your divine center, where the true knowledge of who you are, why you are here and where you are going is found.

Jenna, I am so glad that you passed your 1 year anniversary of being told you have cancer. I did too. One year for the lung and 6 years for the bladder. Needless to say we have a lot to be thankful for and I have not gone thru anything like you have. Even tho I have not written in here for a long time, I still check up on you to see how you are doing. Was in Rochester Tues & Wed. Tuesday I had a CT and as I walked into the inside waiting room, it came back to me that this is where I had visited with you last Sept. Take care. The good Lord is doing wonderful things.

Kacie got along well with her roommate, but she switched to a school closer to her hometown this year! Make sure you are getting your rest. It's crucial! Take care and maybe we will see you at homecoming. Kacie is excited to watch the Sonics dance, of course! See ya:)Julaine

I guess tomorrow you get your French exam back. Just try to stay caught up on the vocab and ask questions.They say Spanish is easier to learn but I think French gets easier as you go. Hang in there. Have fun dancing this week and don't forget take time for those power naps so you can keep on going. The pace is fast in college mentally and the hours are long for homework and activities.(fun) It can sneak up on you after a month into it. Praying for your wellness. Hugs,

how are the french classes going? I only lasted two weeks in French, so I am sure you will beat my record. Hahaha. I am so happy for you that things are going well. I saw you at the football game last Friday night. You are looking good girl! I enjoyed watching you talking to the "mini" danceline wannabes. Your comment about the hair regrowth really made me laugh--how true, the one place a girl doesn't want hair (the legs) is where it grows back first--go figure!! I will continue to pray for you and I am really excited for you that you were able to start your college career! Take care kiddo. Love, Mrs. D.

Hi Jenna
Have you ever considered karate? (haha) My daughter, Julie who danced, did track and played college soccer opted for it as a stress relief, exercise, mind training and good form of self protection. She started at W&M with the college group and loves it. Dancers do very well in it, the discipline, practice and moves just flow. Enjoy your dance classes. Be safe..listen to that small still voice. Good night!

Jenna~
Have no fear of the walk to Dinkytown. It's only unsafe when you walk alone. As far as dorm stories go, I had a drunk guy break into my room my first few weeks but he was just hiding from dorm security. It goes with the territory. I slept with a wooden bat next to my bed...actually, I still do and I live in New Ulm!
Aren't all the opportunities exciting? There's so much to do and so much culture to embrace. Enjoy it and soak it all in...the "U" is a great place to learn about all different people and walks of life. You can't help but be submerged in a melting pot of ideas and thinking. There's something for everyone...sorry, a little Gopher bragging. Another thing, try the Chinese restaurant on campus that's on Washington Ave. It's the absolute best food ever! We used to get it after a long nite of um..er..partying, I mean studying of course. The service is quick the food is cheap!
I talked to Allison and they said that you're "bubbly." They're great people to work with and they'll watch out for you. Take care of yourself.

I put your name on our church prayer roll for the next 2 weeks. SO whatever help you need healthwise, school wise, spiritual it is on its way. Yours for the asking..Remember once you've done all you can- for example studied, done your best effort, pray for help- (be it inspiration, memory recall, guidance) turn it over and you will be amazed as the blessings flow. I would remember things for tests I thought I never would. I KNOW it was the gift of a loving Father. Be well , Smile and good night.

Before I forget to tell you, there's a great Catholic church next to campus. It's called St. Lawrence and it's absolutely amazing...it's geared toward college students. They have Sunday mass at 8:00 pm and 9:30 pm for students who don't want to get up in the morning. There's always live music and the priests are very good. If you know where the Chateau Apartments are, it's right by that...ask around for the St. Lawrence Church and Newman Center. I definitely suggest checking it out at least once...it's church like you've never known it before!!!

Hi Jenna...haven't written in this guestbook for a long time, though you know that doesn't mean I'm out of touch. So I bet the "U" is a big change to put it mildly! You should be very proud of yourself (just like all your cousins) for putting yourself to the test and stretching yourself. It's hard to have that perspective when you are in the midst of change when everything is new and hard, and a lot of work and maybe even uncomfortable. But it is so worth it and you will never regret the experiances that come your way during these college years.
So enough auntie wisdom...Not much new at the Macho house, Tim is salmon fishing on Lake Michigan (even though he hates to fish), the girls are studying furiously just like you and Andrew is adjusting to 6th grade/middle school (He was quite shocked to see high school kids on his bus.) And I hold down the fort...Hang in there, thinking about you.

Those first few weeks of college made me aware of all my mom use to do to keep things going.You will get a routine going. Don't forget to let others help once & awhile, get your rest even if it is not all at once, and be sure to eat along the way.You need to help feed healthy cells and build up your immunity.I love Sociology it was my major after finishing my nursing school. THere are so many good classes to take. Enjoy. Poly Sci is another story for me..?Good luck .Hugs,

Hi Jenna: Just checked in to see how things are going for you. Sounds like the college thing is going to work out "just fine." I think of you and your family often, and check your site regularly so I have been able to keep up. I also see Eldo and Lois ocassionally so I can get the "scoop" from them. Joel's doing a full day at school and so far is working out okay. He does gets pretty tired. This is Homecoming week and he was crowned "prince". Our school has a king, queen, prince and princess. He was pretty honored and excited about that. He's going to a concert in the cities Friday night. Best wishes to you and enjoy that college life. Love, Kathy Soukup and family

Hey Jenna, sounds like you are having quite a time at college. You'll have to stop by dance practice the next time your in town and give us a French lesson!:) It's great to hear you and your roomate are getting along. That seems to make the transition all that much easier. And I'm glad to hear you miss us back in New Ulm. Good luck with everything.

Hi Jenna - just a quick note. I was able to go on a date with your mom and Teresa on Friday. We had kind of a let down when Cathedral couldn't play their football game against Hector because Hector's lights wouldn't work. I know the game was rescheduled for Saturday afternoon. Hopefully they won. But regardless, we had a good time. Alysha started dance and loves it. Carter finally admitted to me last night that he really does like 1st grade. Well, gotta run. Glad you don't have to go back for tests until Nov. Remember you are always in our bedtime prayers.

Bonsoir Jenna
Glad to get the news..Take those vits kid you will need them esp the centrum or one a day with iron some extra C too before the Cold season. Carrying books oh I remember it well-try just to bring notebooks if you can. Hauling the texts are too much Wt on your back. Late afternoon naps of 1 hr before dinner are great too, lets you burn the night oil a little bit longer. Pace yourself. Take time for some peaceful, fun moments throughout your day. Prayer, meditation, read a daily reflection -it sure brings the added strength. You are feeding the mind, remember the belly and spirit. (HAHA) Have a great week. Hugs,
Jeanine

Sounds like you're making a pretty good time of it at the U. I know Steph loves it and I'm sure you will too! Sorry to say it but I don't think the homesickness ever completely goes away. Abby went home this weekend and I wish I could've gone with her. She did take my clothes home so my mom could wash them for me! Pathetic I know but it's saving me some money! Anyway, have a great time at college, don't get in too much trouble, and know that I'm still praying for you!

Hey Jenna,

Everyone looks so forward to your updates! Thank you! My girls thought they would never miss home also......I never said I told you so:) We will truly pray for you that things do not get out of control until Thanksgiving. I hope that it is only scar tissue that they see!! Make sure you get your sleep, Jenna. Please do not get so worn out that you can't catch up. It would be a big set back. When Kacie was a baby, she required so much more sleep than the other two girls. Now, that Kacie is still a baby, she still requires a lot of sleep! Ooohh, I can't wait till she reads this!!!:) Take care and keep the updates coming! Julaine

Hi Jenna and Lisa,
We're so happy that you get to stay at the U. They sure are lucky to have you there. Good luck with everything and if you need help with the French you can always email Helena.(yes the German Helena) I'll see how well I do with my broad knowledge of Spanish next week(I'm going to have to cram a lot in this next week). Keep up the spirit and I would like to come and visit you next Thursday at the U when I come to visit Melissa. Would that be ok with you? Take care!

Bonjour Jenna,
Can you believe 3 years of French and I remember very little. Got to get your internet up and send us your email so we can write you once and awhile. The KEY to French is learning the VOCAB, THE verb to be and to HAVE and the possessive whether feminine or masculine.(EX le livre) The rest will come..I found the tapes helped with the pronunciation to listen to and read along. GOOD LUCK JENNA. My son had Spanish in HS and has learned Portuguese on his mission . You can do it. Au revoir

Hi Jenna!

How is life at the "U"? Our lose is their gain! Hope all is going well. It always takes me awhile to adjust to a new group of seniors in "Senior Hall" . They have a tough act to follow after your class! Be sure to stop in and visit us at CHS when you have a chance, we'd love to see you! Take care. Go Gophers!!

Hi Jenna - I hear French is an interesting class. French is such a pretty language, but I don't know if I could learn it. I guess "old dogs" don't always want to learn new things! I know you got some great news from the trustworthy Dr Anderson from the tumor board and all I have to say is WAY TO GO JENNA! Prayers, faith and spirit heal many things. If you send my your new email address, I can send you some new pictures of Carter and Alysha. They are great pics. And I always have funny emails to share. I am very excited for this semester to be in progress. I have 36 students in my class and they are all talkers, which is wonderful! Well, continue to enjoy the college experience- it is definately the opportunity of a life time. Laurie

I think of you and your family often and just know that September 13th ("hopefully with a decision made for any continuing treatment")will yield unending possibilities. When they see the pics of you and get a sense of who Jenna really is, creativity will flow and they will be inspired with the treatment we are all praying for. (September 13 is the perfect day for good things to happen - - I was born on that day! (many years ago - your Mom knows how many - ha ha). Wishing you all the best as you begin classes - YOU will surely put the "U" in U of M!

It was great that you came to practice on Wednesday. I wasn't expecting it and it was a very nice surprise. I was so happy you came actually. It's good for new members like me to get some tips from an old pro like yourself. Those pointers are ALWAYS welcome in my book. However, with all your moving I'm sure you will be very busy in the upcoming weeks. Stay strong and God Bless

Was glad to read that things are looking better for you.
We just never know what God has planned for us. It seems we could prepare a little better if after He told us our
mission, He would have let us remember it! Good luck at the U and when your sitting there in class on Tues. overwehlmed by all the possibilities. Think about the NUACS kitchen preparing your favorite; mashed potatoes,gravy, sauerkraut, pork choplettes or hotdogs, just makes your mouth water doesn't it. We'll miss you and all of your classmates. You guys are awesome! Lots of prayers and love. Lois

HI Jenna - just a quick note. Last night Alysha's pre-school teacher came over for an introductory meeting. Alysha didn't talk until the end of the meeting when she wanted to show her teacher her room. I had to insist to the teacher that she really does talk. So, Alysha starts school the same day you do! And, Alysha starts dance class next Thursday. She is very excited. I hope you have a great day on Saturday - enjoy the newness of everything!!!! I am sure the docs at the tumor board will be astounded by your love for life and your ability to stay strong. Take care

I wish we could turn back time and be at playgroup again, without a care in the world, though our purpose now is all so different. I'm not one much for prayers, though for you Jenna, I say one every day. Guess what...I'm going to college too!! Start tomorrow at UW River Falls for a Masters in Education.

Hi Jenna!
I've continued to keep an eye on your progress and have kept you in my prayers. I'm working in a hospital in Oskaloosa Iowa right now, and one of the nurses I work with also works on the oncology unit here. I've shared a little of your story with her, and she was wondering if you've ever heard of David M Bailey. Apparently, he was diagnosed with a glioblastoma (type of brain cancer) and told he had six months to live, and that was 8 years ago. Check out his website if you have the chance.
Good luck at college and enjoy this time!
I'll keep you in my prayers,

Jenna - you did an amazingly good recap of your appts the end of last week. I talked to your mom on Saturday and she said almost the exact same thing. And Dr Anderson is right. There are probably a ton of different options for you - you just need to be patient and let the docs take the time to figure out what is the best option. And you will get to tell great college stories...remember to keep your spirits up and ask lots of questions!!!!!! Always thinking of you and praying for you and your family...

Don't worry, Jenna. Dr. Anderson sounds like he knows his stuff. If he told you not to worry, than don't. Sounds like a lot of choices, but I know that you and your family and doctors will make the right decision and everything will turn out. Keep that positive attitude....it makes all the difference. Stay strong, you're going to beat this.

I met Dr. Anderson last summer and watched him with some of his pediatric patients--he exudes calm and confidence in his quiet, unassuming manner and is topnotch at what he does--believe in his skill! My best to you as you continue to formulate an action plan and complete more tests, the prayers will continue.

Wow lots to consider ..Tumor Board I have been in those meetings in the past. They are interesting slides and reports go up and then the brain storming of ideas and experiences shared. The gamma knife radiation sounds interesting. Another girl I write to Amy Mareck with osteo from MN I believe has had that type of treatment. She too has a caringbridge site.Surgery might sound scary but perhaps if they could shrink it and excise it and radiate the site. Lots to do and handle.I guess the next few weeks will be decision time. Choices are hard. I will be praying for you and your doctors. Keep a check on that leg. Remember the mind id a wonderful tool. Use it to imagine good strong healthy cells overcoming diseased cells. Jenna remember the greatest Healer. Go to Him with your requests and He will lead you where and what to do. Lots of hugs, PS Hope you had fun at the Fair!

So did you hear about the guy that lost his left arm and his left leg?? I hear he's going to be all right!! Sorry, heard that joke last week and got a kick out of it! Just writing to say that I hope everything went well for you with your appointments and all that yesterday. I saw your mom walking the dog at German Park today. Anyway, praying for you as always!

Stay strong & optimistic. I also wish you luck as you start your exciting journey to college. I know that you will make the most of it!

Jenna and Lisa - it seems like forever since I have signed in. Relay for Life was amazing. It was so awesome to see so many people there supporting cancer research and celebrating the life of those touched by cancer. Last night Carter and I were saying bedtime prayers and we were praying for you. We had to have an "intermission" on the prayer because Carter has so many questions about cancer. It is hard to explain the complexity of cancer to a 6 year old, but he is definately praying for you to be healthy. I had the opportunity to move one of my girls to college this week. I traveled all the way up to Hibbing - and she got settled in - I think. What a change from high school to college. I hope that the U is nice to you and that your freshman experience is a good one. Make sure your new roommate shares her clothes!!!! Well, time to run. I will call later today to see how you are doing.

Jenna & family: I walked by Mayo and St. Mary's last night and thought of you and sent up some prayers for awesome test results! You've fought so hard and kept such a perky attitude in spite of the garbage this cancer is throwing at you, that alone ought to influence the outcome significantly! I'm looking at your website daily and will keep praying extra hard this week!

Hey Jenna,
I was glad to see you at the Relay for Life. It was a fun night for me even though it was FREEZING!! Thats alright though; we were dancing all night :) Tonight, at practice, we finished learning our homecoming dance so we have a lot of time to polish it. It is looking very good and the freshman are working hard which is very good to see :) Hope your tests go well.

Dear Jenna,
I have just read your webpage. I am Lee Dommeyer's (your Aunt Sue's mother -in-law) sister-in-law from Texas. I have borderline Multiple Myleloma. I wanted to tell you about some researcher's who have been studying the cancer cells. They believe that there is fungus in all cancer cells. I have been on an antifungal diet. In short, I do not eat (most of the time) white flour, sugar, sugar substitute (I use Stevia-allowed instead of sugar), mushrooms or peanuts.
The books written by these researchers are The Germ That Causes Cancer, by Doug A. Kaufman and Beverly Thornhill Hunt, Ph. D., also The Fungus Link by the same authors. The Web site is knowthecause.com. Your web site is great!!

Jenna~
You definitely made the right college choice. I loved it at the "U." You are going to have a blast. There's so much to see and do and you meet so many interesting people. Some of the absolute best times of my life were because of that school. Go Gophers!
Conicidentally, my on-campus job was doing office work for a cancer-research study, specializing in colorectal cancer. I contacted my old boss and she said you can have a job if you are receiving work-study funds. It's a very rewarding job and I think you would have so much to offer. Unfortunately, the job operates on research funds so they only offer it to students who receive work-study. Give me a call if you're interested...354-9821.
Otherwise, just wanted to tell you that I made it to the Relay for Life and lit a luminarie for you. I'm ashamed that I've never gone before. It was such a moving and humbling experience.
Take care of yourself and have a blast at college...I'll have to tell you some of the good places to go when you want to let loose.
All the best,
Sarah

Hi Jenna
It was nice to see you at Relay for Life even though we were only there for an hour or so. You have a smile and a glow about you that is awesome. Certainly will be thinking about you and praying for you this week. We're leaving for Germany on Friday to visit some relatives. Actually, both of my parents were born in Germany, so have some cousins and an uncle still living there. Our first trip over. I will have plenty of air time to get in a few extra positive thoughts and prayers for you--for good health, inner peace and a good college/university experience. I'll be anxious to hear how things are going.

Well, I will be glad to go back to school if only for having a faster computer! It just took me about 10 minutes to get here using my computer at home. Ish! Anyway, I saw you at the Relay but you were always surrounded by people so I didn't want to interfere. Hope you had a good time, I know I did - although a little chilly! I'm sure you're getting ready for school to start and can't wait. I hope you have an awesome time. Also wanted to wish you luck on your tests this week. I will be praying for you and your family that you receive good, positive results. Best of luck and God bless.

I think of you and your family often and you are in our prayers. As I mentioned to your mom,the support is there from a distance, but KNOW IT IS THERE!!!!!!! How did you like "Phantom?" I took Ang and my Mom to it this summer also-we were so impressed!!!!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to be at the Relay for Life and I consider you representing the youth with cancer- Josh had chemo that day in MPLS so it had been a long day so we didn't make it. We pray that the cures for cancer will come and then my dream is the PREVENTION!!!!!!!!!

Dear Jenna,
You will definitely be in my prayers as you go through all the tests next week. How I wish I could join you in New Ulm for the Relay for Life, but I have a wedding to attend. You know how much this event means to me. As I walked the track in Owatonna, you were in my prayers and tomorrow evening, you and your family will be thought of in a very special way. As I have said before, you are just an amazing young woman and I pray you will be running around the U of M campus just like your dad, Aunt Anne, Aunt Sue and my three kids did. Was your mom one of them too? I just cannot remember.
Please keep in mind that you have your own bead on your Great-Aunt Marion's Rosary and her prayers are very powerful!
Love, Joanne

Hello all - signing in again from Wisconsin. I just love Madison. We went to the Botanical Gardens today (it was amazing - better than the last time I was there) and then we went to the zoo. That was also fun. I tried talking my sister into going down State St and going on campus - good times. She didn't agree, but then again, it would not have been very fun with 6 kids. I went to grad school at U of Madison. I didn't really know how much I missed it until returning there today. We just got in the house from having a camp fire. We roasted marshmellows, but didn't go all out with smores. Well, gotta run. The kids are in need of some sleep. Again, praying all is well with you and the blood continues to thicken. I talked to Barry today and reminded him to water my flowers. Of course, he forgot. I hope all of them are not dead. He also forgot to feed Hunter the fish. Hunter is not dead though...

Hi Jenna, Lisa, etc:
No news is good news! Although the nurses at St. Mary's probably miss you terribly. Last weekend I went to Duluth w/ friends & left Charlie & Emily to their own devices. Yes, it was Home Alone time and they did just fine, or at least covered up the evidence of what they did. It helps to have low standards. This weekend Emily is having a sleepover. There will be trampolining, s'mores in the microwave, and we will make some beauty products ;). Then it's time to think about getting Charlie back to Mad-town. He will be in a house this year and so needs some extra supplies, like a bed, unless we can get him to sleep in the hammock full-time. Though I do miss my boy when he's gone I love going to Madison. And this year when I get back, I am crossing my fingers that I will be able to bother you here at the U! Gooooooooo Gophers!

It's great to hear that your blood tests are looking good. The fact that you don't have a lot to report on it is good news in itself. It is just nice to hear from you that there is no apparent signicant new problems. You are fantastic! You keep bouncing back like a rubber ball. We should all be fortunate enough to have your strength & vitality.

Glad you & your mom enjoyed Phantom Of The Opera. It is a wonderful production.

Hope you have a great time the next couple of weeks before your new adventure starts at the U.

HI guys - Wisconsin is good. My family is doing well - Carter and Alysha are glad to see their cousins. This is the first time we have gotten to stay longer than 3 days, so all the kids are excited. My sister and brother-in-law bought a new house in the country that is surrounded by woods. The kids are thinking this is the best thing ever. We have gone "exploring" many times. We will have a camp fire one night. I have learned about "touch me nots" (a plant) and have seen a "burr ball" for the first time in my life. Tanner, the dog, loves being in the country, but is very territorial. So far, he has killed two skunks and a muskrat. He actually doesn't even stink, but he has been bathed in a special shampoo for skunk smell removal (Rose F - sounds kind of like your dog!). I went to an outet mall today to get shoes and pants for Carter. Of course they don't fit - so we will be going back tomorrow. I hope all is well in New Ulm. It sounds as though the blood is getting thicker than juice these days! Keep up the good work. Thinking of you from cheeseland....

Dear Jenna,
I'm so happy for you that you have been having fun. The Phantom of the Opera---you lucky girl. That is one show that I have always wanted to see, so make sure you tell us all about it after you see it. I think they should make decorative face masks for you. It could be a new fashion statement!! I hope you stay healthy and that you are able to enjoy the last days of summer. You have so much to look forward to. I know that you will love college and you will surely make many new friends. Take care and know how much we all think about you and pray for you daily. Love, Mrs. D.

Jenna, it sounds like you had a good time over the weekend. Who would think that a person could have fun in Iowa. It really sounds like Kyle is enjoying all of your activities. I wonder how a guy from Sleepy Eye can even keep up with you. I hope your counts hold and improve. Have fun shopping. Everyone at our house is pulling for you.

It sounds like you had lots and lots of fun this weekend! And plus you get another bonus: SHOPPING! which has always been one of my personal favorite activities to do. Hope that in the next few weeks you get all the good news you want and everything goes well for you. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

Hey! Just thought I would send out a little howdy-doody to you. Glad to hear you had a wonderful weekend at Okoboji, sounded like alot of fun! Congratulations on being done with chemo!! I'm praying that you get the best of results back when you take those tests in a few weeks. It would definitely make it easier to go to school after that! Have fun getting stuff for your dorm room! Take care and praying for you always!

Hello all - Jenna, I hear you had a fun weekend in Iowa. That sounds funny, especially since Minnesotans always make fun of Iowa. We had a great weekend. We had a family reunion in Elgin, which is just a few miles north of Rochester. The reunion was at my cousin's house and she has an awesome pool in her back yard. It has a diving board, etc. Carter is becoming quite the fish and Alysha finally got her whole head under water and she didn't cry. She didn't do it on purpose, but she wanted to jump off the diving board and I caught her and let her go all the way under. She was very proud of herself. We had a good time seeing family from Colorado, Missouri, Wisconsin and Minnesota. My aunt just finished up her 4th and final round of chemo for breast cancer. Her hair is growing back and she looks really good. She was able to have her treatment in Mankato. We stayed at the Hawthorne Suites and that is one nice hotel. They even had a big indoor water park. Well, I best be going. I have a lot of stuff to do. And I have to get a cavity filled today. I am not looking foward to the effects of novacain....

HEY JENNA AND LISA, GLAD YOU HAVE THE CHEMO BEHIND YOU AND HOPE YOU HAD FUN IN IOWA! WE HAD FRIENDS THAT LIVED BY THE LAKE THERE AND IT WAS LOTS OF FUN TO VISIT THEM. THE "REGAL BEAGLE" COMES TO MIND...I WAS AT MY SISTER'S PLACE IN ST PAUL THIS WEEKEND. WE DID LOTS OF SHOPPING AND STUFF. WE DID GO TO THE NEW IKEA STORE. IT IS VERY LARGE, I FELT LIKE WE WERE AT THE STATE FAIR THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE THERE. I AM ALREADY DREAMING ABOUT THE CHEESE CURDS! AS ALWAYS, THINKING OF YOU OFTEN, ROSE FORST

Hi Jenna: I'm going to try sending you this note (for the third time). I'm not much of a computer whiz, but I thought I had a better handle on corresponding that I do. Anyway, sounds like your summer has been good. We'll be praying for good test results in August. Joel was in for a 6 month check up in mid-July and all was fine. He's had a busy summer and has actually started working 2 - days a week at the place he worked before he got sick. He's doing a lot of jet skiing, some golfing and hanging out, and spending a lot of time with his girlfriend. He has his senior pics taken the end of August. Keep up the positive attitude. It seems if I'm a little down all I have to do is read your website and you brighten my day. Take care and we'll be praying. Love Kathy and all.

It has been several months since I've signed the guestbook. I felt left out. Like so many of you, I've had the privilege of being a part of Jenna's fight. For many months, I've been convinced that she has the strength and faith to beat this. However, I do admit that I am taking advantage of all the fun things Jenna gets to do like getting Wolves tickets or flying in an Ultralite airplane. I am still a little bitter about not being able to go on the Mediterranean trip! I thought I had that one in the bag. For Jenna's sake, keep the gifts, the tickets, and all the new experiences coming! Just kidding.

Jenna, I will continue to pray that your test results keep headed in the right direction. I can surely imagine it is not pleasant to head back to Mayo for treatment and tests, but I have to think that you smile and attitude bring happiness to those who have been working with you in Rochester. You have no idea of how many lives you have touched for the better in the last year. At a time when many are trying so hard to help you, you have meant so much to so many.

Hi Jenna
Thinking of you as I prepare to head North for a week to visit my daughter at Princeton, onto NY to see family and to CT.Praying this next 2 days goes well with your treatment. HYDRATE... Remember to avoid the acidic stuff -try the yogurt, jello, rice pudding, smoothies. I will be lifting you up in prayer especially tomorrow.Keep smiling. Do not fear the August tests. Think positive, try to visualize this chemo going to the areas where the cancer is and engulfing it, halting its spread. Then visualize clear and healthy cells. The mind is a wonderful tool. It's messages to the body are amazing.Get a blessing of the sick before you go for the scans. Remember wellness is the goal..enjoy each day. Live, Laugh & Love.. Hugs,

Dear Jenna,

I just learned of your journal recently... Nanci Rosenberg-Fine forwarded it to me. I really enjoyed your last entry!! Sounds like a wonderful summer so far. It's soooo exciting to hear you making plans for college! Brings back a few memories of my own:) Being today is the 29th already, I assume test results are in. I hope all is well and have diligently been keeping you in my prayers.

Better run now. Take care and best wishes. With love and prayers always, Lisa Ritter.

Ca va, Jenna -
That of course is French for how's it going, but you will hopefully learn all about that soon. Stay healthy as you can through this last chemo! We are rooting for you this month, especially as you have your big appointments near the end. Just wondering: did you tell your docs you went for rides on a horse and an ultralight? I have to laugh when I think about the "no hitting Jenna" rule and the "no inner tubing for Jenna" rule, and then you go riding & up in Linus' plane...but then they never said NOT to do those things. I really liked the horses too...though I do wish I had a picture of Andrea and her horse heading off on their own little side trip through the woods. Wasn't that a pretty trail though? And just so you know, Charlie is back to sleeping indoors again, at least for the time being.
Take care,

Jenna - it sounds as though the "cabin" was amazing. I have been thinking of vacation for next year and we may check out the resort you were at. Or we will go to the ocean, but that is a better "winter trip". I have been preparing for college to begin in Sept. I am teaching a child welfare class at MSU-Mankato this semester. Another new class - but should be fairly simple to teach, because that is what I do from 8-5 M-F !!!!! I have to read 3 novels prior to class starting as they are used as case examples for class. I am not one to sit and read - I generally don't have time for that. Now in the evenings, Alysha will ask me if it is time to read my book and she will get a few books of her own and sit and read with me. She ends up watching more tv than reading... We pray that all goes well with this last round of chemo. Always thinking of you - and be happy that you have had such a wonderful summer!!!!!

Hi Jenna, I know you won't probably read this for a few days but wanted to let you know that it really meant a lot last night getting the call from your mom. I've looked at your photo album, and you have grown to be such a beautiful young woman, and to be honest, the lack of hair does not affect that beauty. In fact, I think you do bald really well. I hope that the phone call from Amy was not too disturbing. She doesn't have a lot of tact in anything she does these days and I can't explain her life choices, just the events that led up to them. If you have any questions, feel free to write to me, though no doubt, you have more important living to take care of. I'm hoping that maybe knowing now that she has talked to you, that she will see how precious her life is and make the needed changes. Would love to take you to lunch or something when you are in the twin cities for school. I'm thinking about going back myself, probably not until second semester, so maybe I'll see you on campus, ha....that would be fun. Love to you all, in my thoughts and prayers always. Nanci

Hey Jenna, Sounds like a pretty eventful and FUN week! I hope your last chemo round goes well and you can stay out of that hospital. I saw the plane flying around on Sunday. We were out at Keith's parents and they live right by the airport. I think I would've been a little nervous on that thing also. Tonight I get to "Celebrity" bartend at the B & L for Relay for Life. All the tips we make go to the Relay. Should be fun! Anyway, good luck and praying for you always.

This is my first year in it and I am really excited. So I will definetly see you there! My thoughts and prayers are with you and God Bless

New Ulm, MN - Monday, July 26, 2004 9:36 PM CDT

Dear Jenna,

I keep checking on your status, printing your journal entries and photos and giving them to your Great Aunt Marion. She is just the most wonderful person. I am certain that your grandfather has told you that you have your own bead on her rosary.

I feel so bad that I have not sent a card or anything lately. You are just amazing! To be able to attend school, prom, state dance line competition, graduation, Europe, etc, while going through treatment is a testament to your fighting spirit, strength and deep faith. Such an inspiration you are!

As I told you before, I have always believed that Larry was a miracle. I thought for certain that Anne would be our only child, but he lived long enough for us to have Maggie and Sam. What a blessing they have been. Larry and Jack, his brother, are two people who I call on to help you and your family. Feel free to do the same.

Owatonna's first Relay for Life was 11 years ago. My children and I always had lumanaries in memory of Larry, but it was not until three years ago that one of my schools formed a team. I always stay the entire night and will not quit until I absolutely have to! Everyone knows that I talk a lot, but when I am on the track, my team members know that I want to be alone to reflect on Larry, Jack and many others I have known who have died of cancer. What really makes me so grateful is when I see all survivors' names, again many whom I know. As I walked, you and your family were in my prayers and thoughts and will continue to be.

Love, Joanne

Hope you don't mind that I passed the information around, but knew that Sue Z, and assorted other neighbors would want to know to include you in their prayers...Sandy across the street, Lyn Kamin (who just had her thyroid removed also due to cancer and some other health stuff), Barb, of course, and my old neighbors Robert and Mandana. Anyway, still thinking of you always and hope you enjoyed your vacation and that I will hear from one of you soon. Love you, Nanci

I was able to pick up my car from Tires Plus on Sunday and it is still running. I hope the problem is fixed. I have been driving everywhere just to see if it will keep working...I am looking out my window at work and there is not a cloud in the sky. What a beautiful day. It took me an extra 30 minutes to get to work this morning - Hwy 14 is under construction. Well, I better run, got lots to do...See you next week.

New Ulm, MN - Wednesday, July 21, 2004 7:04 AM CDT

Hi Jenna and Family: I wrote a note here last week, but it didn't go through and I didn't have time to do it again. Anyway, we are really glad your counts are cooperating and that last treatment will be done soon. We were in Rochester with Joel on the 12th & 13th for a 6 month check and he's doing fine. All scans, etc were good. He started back at work today at the place he worked two summers ago. He has a girlfriend and desparately needs money!! Our Relay for Life is Aug 6 and a friend and I are chairing a team.Joel is supposed to walk the first lap with the survivors but he prefers to stay in the distance. Maybe next year he'll feel more like walking. The Shriner's made him a new "water leg" so he'll have one for jet skiing and hanging around the lake. They will be sending it to him in about a week.
When your family is up at the cabin in Crow Wing County you'll be real close to where we live. If you feel like meeting somewhere for an ice cream cone or lunch or something please give me a call. I'd really like to see you and your mom again. Take care and we'll be thinking of you as you do your LAT TREATMENT!! Love Kathy and family

I wish I'd known, and not found out through the grapevine (Lisa G who is now Lisa R)....YOU GUYS WERE MY FIRST FRIENDS IN MINNESOTA......and I'm sure Lisa you got the first card I wrote you and then left you a message the other day. I'm getting ready to send Jenna off a little graduation gift (I wish you would have let me know about the party cause I'd have been there with bells on!!) My friend just told me about this site and I figured I would check it out, and glad that I did.Anyway, this is probably a really wierd message, just thought this would be the best way to let you both know I am thinking of you, and BARB says hi...and I love you guys. Lisa, if you get a minute, call me...I promise I will try to keep it short and not cry too much...yeah right!!! Take good care, email me or something. LOVE YOU ALL, Nanci in Woodbury (remember me?)

Hi Jenna~ Glad to hear the relay was an inspiring night. This summer seems to be so very busy for you! I'm having a hard time finding a free moment also. When we met at the post office I was buying stamps for my wedding invites. I now have less than 8 weeks to get ready, so much to do yet! I hope they're able to get you "juiced up" & feeling 100% by the time school starts. I was a little intimidated by the "big U" & spent 4 yrs at the U of M in Morris (a town of 5,000 people). Now New Ulm doesn't seem so small. =) Good luck at your up-coming appointments and have a wonderful woodzy vacation. You and your family are in my prayers. ~Alaina

You will have loads of fun at your cabin. It is great to be with family!! Enjoy your time with them!! Jordan and Sally Schreiber are captains for a Relay for Life Team this year also.

I couldn't see them because they were behind me, but I think the freshman did very good so that's always a good thing! We finished one of the songs for Homecoming and I think we did a really good job on it. *I'm new to this choreography stuff, so I think it all looks cool!* Anyways, I just wanted to drop a hello and I hope you have a fun time on your vacation.

Hello all - Lisa, sorry I had to dash out of work on Friday, but when my kids need me, I am there! I think my car is finally fixed. For those of you who don't know the lenghty story, this is the 3rd week that my car has been in the shop - on and off for a total of 11 days. Tires Plus thinks they finally figured out the problem... We have had wonderful day today. Carter, Alysha and I went mini golfing in Mankato, then to Sam's Club for stuff, then to Culver's - they had burgers for $.84, then to Cubs, then home, then went swimming at the Nicollet pool for an hour or so. The trip to Cubs was quite interesting since I NEVER take the kids to the grocery store. I am thankful the store was not busy, as I let Carter and Alysha be in charge of the cart. There were a few items they knocked down, but they were picked up with no harm done. The kids are now watching a movie and I am enjoying my 10 minutes of quiet time. Well, I better run. Because of our busy day, we are just getting to supper now - Carter is requesting pizza. And that will be frozen pizza, not home made - there is just no time for that tonight. Carter is in awe that Jack is going to work at KFC. Carter already asked if we could go see Jack when he is working. I guess tomorrow we head over to NU for the parade and then maybe a trip down the Cottonwood - my feet are screaming for another exfoliation!!! :) Have a wonderful vacation. Stay healthy and enjoy the clean air up north. Boy, my entries get long, but I always have so much to tell. I am thinking of writing a book...

Hi Jenna
Hope the Relay for Life went well. I know we have it here in VA too. We did it for my little friend Taylor. She had over 50 lumanaries sponsored for her. Glad to hear the counts are on the rise. Remember how do you swallow an elephant -One bite at a time. Enjoy the day.Hugs,

Hi Jenna and Family: Just checking in on you again. We were down in Rochester Mon & Tues. for Joel's 6 month check and all was fine. We're still trying to find some relief for his pain but the surgeon seems to think it will go away in time. We're hoping!! We have our local Relay for Life on August 6. I'm getting excited for it, I think it'll be a beautiful ceremony. I might be a little too old to be up all night though!! I think of you and your family often and continue to pray for your health. Love, Kathy

HEY JENNA AND LISA, HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD WEEKEND. LYLE'S SPORTSMEN CLUB WAS IN THE WINTHROP PARADE ON SUNDAY. THEY DRESS UP AS CLOWNS. THIS YEAR HE PUT ON A VERY TRENDY SLIM FITTING ORANGE,GREEN AND YELLOW DOUBLE KNIT DRESS, YELLOW CURLY WIG AND EXTRA LARGE COWBOY HAT. WHEN I STARTED TO PUT ON HIS MAKEUP I NOTICED THAT HE HAD THE DRESS ON BACKWARDS WITH THE ZIPPER IN THE FRONT. HE TURNED IT AROUND BUT DECIDED IT WAS MUCH TIGHTER THAT WAY SO HE DECIDED TO JUST WEAR IT BACKWARDS-A FASHION STATEMENT FOR SURE. I AM SURE HILDEGARD FISCHER WILL BE GLAD TO KNOW HER DRESS IS STILL BEING USED...AS ALWAYS, THINKING OF YOU OFTEN, ROSE FORST

Hi there Jenna, Lisa & Jack:
No news MUST be good news - haven't heard from anyone in a week. I am alone for a few days since Emily left this morning for Girl Scout camp (very exciting) and Charlie is in the Boundary Waters for a canoe trip. Unfortunately Charlie took my car and so I am driving his which is kind of icky, I never feel clean after I get out of it and it has muffler issues besides. (I think Rose F. can identify with this situation). Emily made me park it far away from the camp bus so no one would see her. Anyway, since I am a free woman I'm going for a bike ride and then will have chips & salsa for dinner. Quite the life, eh? Hope you're kicking back too, we all deserve it.
Love,

Hi Jenna
Enjoy your summer. The beach sounds great. Remember your sunscreen you can tan without a burn(HAHA) Burns take energy to heal and you need to save that energy response for staying well. Finally saw the movie Mona Lisa Smile with Julia Roberts., Not bad..Having family coming Sunday from NY to stay a week or so. It should be fun!. After 4 days babysitting my daughter's chanchilla, she went home Monday to Princeton. Cute but lots of work.Don't think I would want one. How are things coming for school. Buy your books early, check for used texts (cheaper & usu just as good)Keep your receipt incase Prof changes. Hugs,

Hey There~ Glad to hear about your "no news". I just wanted to say Thank you for the thank you letter! It was was sweet and thoughtful. So the heritagefest parade is coming up....feeling a little sad about that? Or that the music has been cut or that homecoming practice is coming up here in August...yeah, welcome to the sad side of being a Sonic Alumni. It's tough but you'll get through it. But there is a good side...no 6:30am practices(unless you were planning on stopping by :), no worries about getting h/k and j/f choregraphed, not having to wear pounds of make-up and wearing a chasity belt before j/f performances, wait-that was fun! Anyways hope to see you around!

Hi Jenna and family - well, our 4th of July weekend was eventful. Saturday was a wonderfully rainy day. The kids and I ventured to Vernon Center to their festivities. And Sunday was the big "tubing down the Cottonwood" event. Sunday was a day full of interesting twists and turns. I had not had the opportunity to tube down the river until Sunday. The weather was interesting..thunder, sun, light rain, clouds, sun, pouring rain, sun...I am sure you all know how that goes. I had an intersting observation: when you get lots of sand in your shoes and you don't have socks on, it is a great exfoliant for your feet. I was anticipating raw, sore feet from the sand, but I was pleasantly surprised that my feet felt as though they were professionally exfoliated. Interesting... The kids are doing well and Alysha loves to look at the pictures on the website. Hope you are staying healthy and getting your counts back up. I will keep you in mind when needing a babysitter - depending on the health of the kids and if you are feeling up to it.

You have such a great outlook on everything! It is that great attitude that will get you through this all! I am so..... proud of you for not letting this terrible disease stop you from doing everything you would have normally done!!! That is the way everyone should live their lives! I try to live by the saying "Tomorrow is promised to no one", so get out and LIVE, and I am glad you live every one of your BUSY days that way too.

You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers always.

I'm so glad to hear that things, as far as your health are concerned, are not exciting! I thought the Cambria fireworks were a little disappointing compared to other years but I still enjoyed them. I heard that Sleepy Eye's were pretty good. I went to Hanska's and thought they were awesome! I hope the weather gets nicer. At least it isn't raining today but it's still rather chilly. Oh well. Take care!

WELL, THE NEW SEATCOVER IS IN THE TRUCK SO NOW I WILL HAVE TO GO FOR A RIDE...MY BROTHER WAS UP THIS WEEKEND TO GET WHAT IS LEFT OF HIS 82 MODEL. HE PLANS TO MAKE SOME SORT OF VEHICLE OUT OF THAT, KNOWING HIM IT WILL BE STRANGE TO LOOK AT. IT WAS SAD FOR LYLE TO SEE HIS OLD ONE GO DOWN THE DRIVEWAY ON THE TRAILER- A MAN AND HIS TRUCK-IT IS LIKE FAMILY! I WAS NOT SAD TO SEE IT GO-THERE WAS A DEAD STRAY CAT ON THE SEAT-OR I SHOULD SAY WHAT WAS LEFT OF ONE! GOOD LUCK WITH THE COUNTS. AS ALWAYS, THINKING OF YOU OFTEN, ROSE FORST

Hi Jenna,
Hope you and Jack are having a great 4th of July weekend doing a lot of fun stuff. If you didn't see enough fireworks displays try this one: www.njagyouth.org/liberty.htm . It will display the Statute of Liberty & when you click anywhere in the skyline you will get different various color fireworks. It's cool!
I had fun playing golf with Jack & your dad on Friday. Jack is getting to be awesome with a golf club in his hands. You better not make any bets against him. How about getting together with us to play a game? Of course, that may be difficult for you with the busy schedule you have for the summer.
We are happy that everything went well for you at the U registration last week. I know you will really find it interesting and exciting, and for you - only a minimal challenge.
We really appreciate your updates, and the pictures of your trip. Very impressive!
Love you.

Glad to hear that you like the college. Don't worry about making friends; everyone in college (especially freshmen and sophomores) are really open to making friends, mostly because they don't know ANYONE! So don't sweat it! I'm speaking from experience. You'll do great. They'll love ya:)

HI Jenna
Sounds like the typical tour on campus stuff. Bring all your own cleaning supplies to do your dorm room. Especially your own lysol wipes, paper towels, clorox spray shelf paper, post-its, ticky-tacs for posters, Get yourself a bathroom caddy basket for all your toiletries to carry back and forth and of course shower tongs.SO many things to buy Message board, calling card, office supplies, computer, microwave , refrig, FAN,hamper, sheets,towels, wastebasket, Plastic 3 tier rolling dresser for 10-15$ at Walmart for extra clothes or food items (my kids used 2)etc.They have some that go under the bed on wheels too. We moved everything in plastic bins. It gets better as you move up and can get a suite with 5 or 6 sharing and a bathroom in between. The fun of dorm life. It really is great!!You just have to be careful with the germs. Maybe due to health reasons you could get housing that affords that choice of fewer using the restroom and shared facilities. Check into it. It is worth it to stay healthy. It is an exciting time to be out there on your own but remember family is close by. I loved having Julie at W&M only 50min away. We got to see her alot that 1st semester. Then fewer and fewer visits as her schedule got busier and new life activities kept her busy. Enjoy it all. Stay hydrated esp with the lower HGB. Got your card today. thanks.. Take care. off to Ruby Tuesday's for early dinner with family..Moving oh it seems that is all we do each Fall and summer. HAHA We are getting better at it....
Hugs,

Hi Jenna - glad all went well at the U. Reading your last entry got me thinking about when I started college. I absolutely loved college - you meet so many new people and experience so much. I am sure you will make the most of it! Although, in reality, it is scary when you actually have to leave home. Alysha missed you on Tuesday night. When I got to your house she was using the bathroom upstairs and then she proceeded to search out your room for "neat stuff". Hope she didn't mess things up too much. :) Take care and continue to enjoy the summer...

Not a lot to say except that I am so glad for the positive experiences that you have had with graduation, the Mediterranean trip, orientation at the U etc. Stay strong, keep fighting and you remain in our prayers and pleasant thoughts.
Say, your mom is doing an awesome job with her intake duties at the office. She is so focused and efficient and kind.
I enjoy reading your updates and seeing the new pictures, so thanks for doing that. Good luck at the U. Anything you need for your dorm? Put it in one of your updates or have your mom let us know at the office.
Get those blood levels back up there and take care.

Wish I could've talked to you more but it was kinda chilly so I'll just take a raincheck on that! Mullet alert: I work with a lady whose husband has a mullet just like Billy Raye Cyrus used to have back in the day.

I am a first cousin to your grandfather, Dick Langer, and I live in Bellevue, WA. I have been hearing about you from him through emails. I'm really sorry about all that you have gone through in the last several months. I have added you to my prayer list and think of you often. I pray that you will go into remission and be rid of the cancer. I'm also very glad that you were able to go on your cruise! What a fantastic trip. I will keep up with your progress. Beth

I heard you made it to freshman orientation - yay! I took a walk over to the East Bank yesterday at lunch and observed all kinds of new-looking freshman & parents. Didn't see you though. If I had I could have given you a big wave & hello for embarrassment purposes. Seriously I think orientation is both exhilarating and scary, even without cancer. Hope it was exciting for you and that staying overnight was fun.
Take care & rest up, see you soon -

Good evening Lisa and Jenna - well, we returned home safely from our trip to Colorado. We got home about 4pm this afternoon. It was an awesome trip. We spent most of our time hiking in the mountains. It was absolutely beautiful. And picture this - eating supper outside every night and there are no bugs to bother you. NO MOSQUITOS! It has been about 10 years since I have been in Colorado and how quickly one forgets how wonderful the weather is. My family is doing well - we had a family cook out one night. That was fun. We also spent a fair share of our time playing mini golf. They have really good courses in Colorado Springs. Carter even did really well. Carter and Alysha did great in the car. We did the trip in two days both ways. We stayed in a hotel in Grand Island, NE. It was a nice and the pool was great. I can't believe all of the things we have done this summer and there is so much summer left to enjoy. Well, got lots to do. And Jenna - tomato juice? That is an interesting description of your blood. Get those counts up!!!! See you soon,

Dear Jenna
Always have your cell phone and the main thing is when you are so low maybe have a friend go too with you. You never know you can drive careful but there are lots of unknowns. Have a mask too if needed. Best to stay out of crowds when low.malls, etc. get someone to rent movies and bring home.Cook your own food too, not outside stuff prepared by who knows who. I know you know this but it is only for a short period and you want to stay as well as you can. Keep up with your nutritional drinks and vits.It is Saturday. Enjoy. I saw the Last Samurai with Cruise It was good but bloody at times. Along came Polly was not worth the time.Take Care . Hugs,

Hey Girl,
Just got an email from your mom announcing your new low, low counts. She said you were going to drive to Mankato to pick up some platelets...I know she told you this but I have to tell you too...BE CAREFUL, for example with that shift knob in your car that gives you those bruises...but then you know the drill. I'm glad you've had a peaceful week. Here's hoping it stays that way.

He did France just fine and has been camping and fishing a few times since he got home and out with his girlfriend everynight. You kids amaze me with all the energy you have! Hang in there. Maybe we'll see you in Rochester in July. We stopped by St. Mary's when were were down there last week and visited some nurses and some of the patients/parents we knew from before. Nice place to visit, but I don't want to stay there!!!! Love Kathy and family

You don't know me, but I know your Dad and your Aunt Sue. I thoroughly enjoy reading your updates. You seem wise beyond your years and your writing is wonderful. Your family must be so proud of you. I will continue to think of you and pray for you.

Jenna--- I am so glad you had such a wonderful time on your cruise... I got to hear all about it from Jack! Also, it is good to know that your side effects are not-so-affecting towards you this time around. If all goes well, maybe I will see you out and about this summer having fun like you always find a way to do. Hopefully you will be at the dance techinique class this summer touching up on what you love to do! I hope you have a splended summer full of great news. ---Carly

Jenna, What a wonderful entry you had on Sunday. You say it so true. I'm glad everything is going well for you with this round of chemo. Just a reminder if you are still interested in being a part of the dance technique clinic, it's July 5 - 9 from 9-12 at the CHS gym. Just let me know if you would like to attend. Praying for you always!

HEY JENNA AND LISA, GLAD THIS CHEMO ROUND WENT WELL,MAYBE GOING ON VACATION TO EUROPE PRIOR TO TREATMENT IS THE TRICK? I HAVE THOUGHT OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A LOT THIS PAST WEEK AND HOPE YOU ALL GAINED STRENGTH FROM EACH OTHER. YESTERDAY I HAD TO CLEAN OUT THE GARAGE AGAIN. NORM DECIDED TO CHEW UP THE INSULATION FROM THE BOTTOM OF HIS BOX (WHICH WAS UNDERNEATH THE CARPET) IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE DUMPED AN ENTIRE BOX OF SUGAR POPS ON THE FLOOR. OUR NEIGHBOR DOUG BROUGHT NORM HOME YESTERDAY FROM ONE OF HIS MANY VISITS OVER THERE. HE TOLD LYLE THAT HE OPENED THE TAILGATE TO DO SOME WORK AND NORM JUMPED IN AND WOULD NOT GET OUT SO HE HAD TO DRIVE HIM HOME. HAVE A GREAT WEEK. AS ALWAYS, THINKING OF YOU OTEN, ROSE FORST

Jenna~ You put your words so beautifully in todays entry. I am sad about the death of your cousin, but it is true that she is in a better place right now. Also you just have one more person looking out for you up there, you can now look at her as another angel looking out for you! I am glad that your chemo is going well this round. I hope that you can stay out of the hospital too! Well that's all for now. Stay strong and remember to smile! :) With love and prayers, Kacie Bbachs

Hello everyone - Jenna, it is great to hear that chemo is completed and we pray that your levels don't drop too low. I think you are right on when you talk about being healthy prior to starting chemo. It makes all the difference in the world. Plus - I am sure you are still recovering from that awesome trip to your own Far Far Away!!! :) We do continue to pray for your immediate and extended families with the loss of Brea. We started our vacation on Saturday. We were over in Janesville for the weekend for Hay Daze. It is an annual event we partake in - softball tournament, street dance, carnival, etc. Good times. This year's festivities were more intriguing than normal. We lost Alysha and her cousing Salena for about 45 min on Saturday morning. There was a miscommunication with their grandma, but they were both found safe and sound. That was VERY scary. Then there were events that included karoke (and yes, I sang Mustang Sally and Got You Babe), and a really gross game of Fear Factor that included minnows, leaches and earth worms. I won't go into detail as you are able to use your own imagination. I was not a participant in Fear Factor. Carter participated in the "how fast can you throw a baseball" game - he did well at 30 miles per hour. We are now preparing to leave for Colorado...Take care.

Hi Jenna,

Just wanted to let you know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers the last nine months. Cindy has kept us posted on how you are doing. Keep up the battle little girl...we believe you can win.

Is there a way for me to post some pictures to your website or can you send me your email address so I can send some to you. they are from when we all went to Wisconsin Dells a couple of years ago...just thought you might like to have them.

Take care and say hi to Jack from us please.

Jenna and Family:

I deeply saddened by Brea's leaving. She sounded like a really cool person. Just keep in mind that she is having a BLAST up in heaven right now. She's never going to be poked with needles, hooked up to tubes, or experience any pain EVER again. I'm sure she wouldn't want you to feel bad for her. Instead, rejoice that she is in heaven, looking down on you and giving you strength. She is in good hands. She is being your guardian angel now. She may have left this world, but she will never leave you.

Have a wonderful time. Be sure to pack some OTC meds just in case Check about dramamine or bovine patch with your doc incase you get a little seasick.The water can change or your body in getting use to the motion. As a dancer you probably will do fine-girl in motion. (haha) Have fun there will be lots to see and do. Plan those rest stops. Like the turtle you want to finish and see it all. Remember some gatorade or jar bananas for the potassium while out at sea. Be careful in your food selections sure your nutritionist or MD went over what to watch for. Buy lots of remembrances and photos take many. Even a cassette recorder is fun to journal with. Hugs, Bon Voyage......

Hello all - well, we (Carter, Alysha, JoEllen, Sophie & myself) survived our first camping trip. Boy, camping is a lot of work! JoEllen brought almost her whole kitchen with her, which was good because we used all of her supplies. We roasted hot dogs, marshmellows, made smores, told ghost stories around a camp fire, went hiking and fishing and played in the sand. The kids caught little bullheads and we found a great big snapping turtle. It all sounds so fun, right? Well, we did have an enjoyable time, although, I was so very glad to be home to my real toilet and clean house. There's no place like home! Speaking of homes, it was a great break from camping to attend your graduation party. The kids had a great time playing kickball in your neighbor's lawns. There was that one pile of dog poop, but we all managed to avoid it. And Lisa - the house looks great! I was admiring the closet thingy that you had refinished - amazing. I really would like to go to an auction with you some time - you always seem to get the great deals! The party was really a great success! It appeared that all the guests were having a great time. Fun was had by all...Well, next you are off to the exotic lands of Spain and France...enjoy the trip. You guys really deserve it.

Jenna, I woke up this morning, eyes tightly closed, saying one last prayer before I signed on to my computer to see your site, hoping for news. Reading your beautiful words, I did several whoops (scared the cats out of the house) and wanted to do a row of somersaults (sorry for that picture). There's going to be some serious celebrating this weekend. One more step to winning this battle! You're incredible.

Jenna, that is the best news I have heard in a long time. You have been so courageous and upbeat through it all. I imagine I am not the only person choked up by reading the news. I remember when Ann, Katie, and I visited you in Rochester the day you got some bad news. It is just wonderful to hear this news. I went to the play put on for your benefit last night. It was a closed performance for parents and PHOTGRAPHERS,and the play is just excellent. I am certain you will enjoy it. Everyone does a great job. It must make you feel good that all these kids would do soemthing like this for you. May your tumor keep shrinking.

Hi guys - just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you during all these tests today and tomorrow. I am still believing that Dr Anderson can give you "miracle" news in your consult with him tomorrow. I hope neither of you caught Alysha's cold from Sunday. We are working on getting well - because Alysha was again kind enough to share her germs with the rest of the family. We are still planning on going camping with JoEllen and Sophie this weekend - that will be interesting! We are looking forward to celebrating with you on Saturday. Take care,

Hi to Jenna and family,

Sounds like you are definately creating some very funny memories!!!! Bryanna just went to the Blink concert and a similiar parking lot story happened to her. She says they couldn't find their car because they had to exit a different door than they entered, so it threw them off......ummmmmm, okay.....anyhoo, just wanted to wish you luck on Wed and Thurs with all of your testing and such. As always, you are in our thoughts and prayers! Julaine

Hi Jenna, I work at NCSPearson and have the distinct honor of being your dad's boss. (sometimes I think I work for him) I had seen you in person a few times when you were younger and usually with your brother. It was when something was going on with school and your dad had to bring you to work for a few hours because he had something to do. Remember those times when you were stuck here with nothing to do!! BORING. Well I just wanted to take a minute to let you know that we all have been reading your web site and fill honored that we can walk with you on your journey. Your dad is an amazing guy. He and I have an agreement that you are his top priority so his schedule is flexable based on where he needs to be, yet he comes to work at all hours and makes sure the schedule is covered and everyting that needs to be done is done. I don't know where he gets the energy, I think he has a stash of powerbars in his desk drawer. When he is here there isn't a day that doesn't go by that he isn't talking about you or telling someone a story about something funny or amazing or brave you did. You should be very proud of him, I know how proud of you he is, and how very much he loves you.

My mom always ended our conversations with the same prayer. It has stayed with me all these years and I would like to share it with you:
Lord, you are my comfort and my support. I am so very glad to call you my friend. Be with me through the rest of the day, in good times and bad, so that I am never alone. "Amen".

Hi Jenna - 1) Sounds like your birthday evening was an excellent preparation for college... never change formats if you can help it.. and 2) Did you see the Doonesbury comic today? The character had a caringbridge page set up for him! His first question from his hospital bed of course was how many hits it had. We will all be thinking of you this week as you have all your tests, my gosh your schedule sounds as though they will be running you through every kind of wave machine they have. Just stop them if you see a microwave. We'll keep your candle lit at the Basilica, someday you'll have to come with us and see it.

Happy Birthday Jenna! Carter always sings this cool birthday song (not the usual one) that his teacher sings to kids on their birthday. I cannot remember the words to it, but it is something that the staff at Mexican Village or Applebees sings to you when it is your birthday. Because I don't know the words, you'll have to pretend that we are singing it to you (and you can make up the words as you go). I should really get some free food from Applebees or the Village for the free advertisement, huh? We really do hope you had a wonderful last day of high school and 18th birthday. Have fun at Valley Fair and because you are now 18, I HIGHLY recommend a trip to Jackpot to drop a few coins in the slot machines!

Happy 18th Birthday! Ah, the joys of being legal to buy cigarettes and lottery tickets! Actually, can't say I've taken advantage of that privilege at all in the past 2 years and I would advise you for sure against the first one! Just kidding! I hope you're having a wonderful day, especially since it is your last week of school! I know it's a great feeling. I hope you are feeling well and energized and all that good stuff as you have a lot of stuff coming up shortly! Just make sure to have the most fun you can and make as many memories as possible. They really help to carry you through the tough times. Anyway, just wanted to wish you a happy birthday and to tell you that I am still praying for you and thinking about you all the time.

Hey Jenna and family,

Senior year ending is always so interesting. You spend the whole year saying you can't wait to get out and move on and you are soooo ready.....and then awards day comes, and invitations come, and picking out who is doing what at graduation, and then graduation, and then parties....and something about all of that makes you feel a little melancholy. However, then you start picking out stuff you need for college and you start to get excited all over again. I pray that you stay OUT of the hospital, so you can enjoy, laugh, cry, and go through all those emotions of graduation time that you totally deserve. You are such a super duper young woman. Thank you for all about you and for all the inspiration you created for the many, many people that surround you! Here's to remaining healthy to enjoy all the parties and hoopla! Take care, Julaine

Good morning Jenna - I do always enjoy reading your updates. We are praying extra hard for you this time around because of all the special things that are going on. Carter and Alysha are SO EXCITED to come to your graduation party. It is Alysha's 3rd birthday today. It is amazing how quickly time goes by. Did you know that you were her first babysitter? Remember how tiny she was? Carter and I made her a chocolate cake for her birthday. Even though it was her birthday, Alysha was quite crabby this morning - and she was up and wide awake at 6:15am. I found this really cute dress for her for a gift. You know how the girl likes to dance. Well, anyway, keep those plateletts and red blood cells high!

HI Jenna
Thinking of you . Hope those RBC's up the Hgb and energy level.Tell us about some of your awards and scholarships. That is neat...Heading to NJ this wkend to help Julie, move out of her housing at Princeton for summer quarters. Moving just wait -it is a JOY...All part of college life. Will you be living home and commuting? When Julie went to W&M the first semester she spent wkends home.Soon it was every few weeks and then every few months we saw her. She was only 45 min away but got so busy those last 2 years with classes and activities. Have you picked classes yet? Picked housing, bookstore trips, etc. Hit the bookstore for a teeshirt for that first week. It will be here before you know it.Good night......

I had a dream about you last night. For some reason you decided to give me your pink Volvo stationwagon. Do volvo wagons even come in pink??? Then my dad sold it. I think I need to stop drinking caffeine before I go to sleep.
Looking forward to grad party and the manual labor that comes with a domeier grandchild graduating from high school. Is the jemma schrine started yet? Abby and I can help you, we have experience.

Hi Jenna and Lisa,
You don't really know me Jenna but I know your mom from school. I am also fighting the battle that you are. I introduced myself to you at the Athletic Appreciation Banquet. I read your updates all the time and so enjoy finding out how you are doing. You are so brave and so positive all the time. It helps to keep me that way. I just want to wish you a wonderful ending to your senior year and an even greater start to the next phase in college. Both of our kids went to the U of MN and loved every minute of it. I know that you will do well. I pray for you every day and sure understand the power of prayer through all this. Just wanted you to know that you are thought of by many people.

IT WAS OF COURSE HANDED DOWN FROM A PREVIOUS STUDENT AND I PASSED IT DOWN AFTER THAT. THIS WEEKEND THE GARAGE GOT WASHED OUT WITH THE HOSE-ALL THAT WILD GAME GETS KIND OF STINKY AFTER A WHILE.

Jenna, glad you are able to attend some of your "last of high school days" - always a fun/sad time I am sure. What are your interests/want/needs/ ideas for gifts, if you are like my kids MONEY is a great gift (for you have a birthday coming up right before your graduation). My prayers are sure with you that you have the strength to attend all functions you want to.

HI Jenna
Fri nite another week winding down. Hope you get the rest you need to rebuild and get the stores of energy back for the busy fun days ahead. It is a fine balancing game on the road to recovery. Listen to your body and that inner voice to set your limits for awhile. Lots of strep at my school the last 2 weeks. Stay vigilant inthat area. Graduation will be AWESOME!! Praying for you .Hugs,

HEY JENNA AND LISA, I HOPE YOUR LEVELS HOLD AND YOU FEEL WELL ENOUGH TO ENJOY THE NEXT FEW WEEKS OF SENIORITIS. ALL OF THOSE PARTIES ARE A MUST. I ALWAYS LOVED VALLEY FAIR AND ALL OF THE RIDES. THE LAST RIDE I WAS ON WAS THE SKY RIDE AT THE STATE FAIR. WE DID ONCE GO ON WHAT WE ALWAYS CALLED THE FLYING COUCH AT THE STATE FAIR AND THERE WAS THIS GUY WHO WENT ON THE RIDE AND ALL HE HAD ON WAS A SPEEDO WITH A PACK OF CIGARETTES TUCKED IN THE SIDE-NO SHOES OR ANYTHING. EEEUU-WHAT IS WORSE, THE SPEEDO OR BAREFOOT AT THE FAIR??!! ONCE AGAIN MY SUMMER WILL NOT INCLUDE A NICE PAIR OF FLIP FLOPS. NORM PUT TEETH MARKS ALL OVER THE LEFT ONE. HAVE A FUN WEEKEND.

Hello to all the Langers...Thanks so much for the tornado warning call on Sunday, we were standing out front on the deck watching the storm clouds roll in like you're supposed to when the sirens go off and had just headed to the basement when your rescue call came in. Not to worry, all was safe, just a lot of wind and some much needed rain...how lucky am I-I had a nice mother's day forcing my offspring to help me plant my flowers just in time for those little plants to get a nice soaking rain. Hope the chemo is a non-event and life continues to feel normal. Eat and drink well Jenna, you know it makes you stronger and give your body strength.

Hello again - I am taking a much needed break from paperwork. Well, my digging up dandelion days are over. Last night Barry informed me that he was "tripping" over the holes in the ground where the dandelions used to be. I am believing that he is exaggerating a bit. But he did also inform me that the new "uneven" ground (like it wasn't uneven before) will now make a game of bocce ball even more challenging. That's good though, right? I am always up for a challenge. Today is our anniversary - we have made it 8 years of extreme bliss (that's funny). I told Barry it was supposed to be 80 and sunny today, so he rode his Harley to work today. It is starting to cloud up...could make for an interesting conversation if he rides home in rain, or hail...

HI guys - it seems like forever since I have talked to you. I hope you had a good weekend. On Saturday we brought the kids to the Rainforest Cafe. Carter wanted to go to the one in Chicago, we compromised and went to the one at the Mall of America. It was a lot of fun! Then, I was able to turn in my grades for this semester - that was the best thing of all. Then we tried out Cold Stone Creamery - the new ice cream shop in Mankato. Mother's Day was good. We planted flowers - and believe it or not - I started digging up dandelions. Barry thinks I am nuts because there are about 500 million of them. He says they will die soon anyway. I don't know what it is about the dandlions this year, but they are absolutely HUGE. Alysha believes they are beautiful. Whatever. Well, got tons of work to get done. Later.

Hi Jenna: Just checking in on you. When I saw you got your trip to Europe I just had to let you know that Joel's French class will be over there from June 7 - 17th. Sounds like some of the same places you're going. He's getting pretty excited. Trying to get out walking and exercising each day so he can keep up with the tour pace. I told Joel I thought I should be a chaperone, but he nixed that idea! Hope all's well. Kathy & Joel & Family

Wow Chenna, the cruise sounds amazingly fabulous! You know who to call if anyone has to cancel, I think I could clear my schedule ;). Also Jack looks very suave behind the wheel of the Mustang. Now for news at our house: Charlie comes home next week and Emily is excited to have him help set up the new trampoline. Also, the new puppy next door has figured out how to dig under the fence to come visit us, which makes everyone happy except her owners. That about covers it for us. Stay healthy - I'm looking forward to being a kitchen slave for your grad party. And I think Jeanine should come!

HEY JENNA AND LISA, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR 2ND PROM PICS. THE DRESS SOUNDS FABULOUS. A LONG TRAIN IS A GOOD THING (MUCH MORE PRINCESS LIKE). TODAY IS A GOLF DAY. IT WILL BE WINDY SO I CAN ONLY HOPE IT WILL CARRY MY BALL IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. OF COURSE I WOULD HAVE TO GET THE BALL IN THE AIR IN ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN...MY GAME TENDS TO LOOK A LITTLE LIKE CROQUET. OH WELL, WE STILL HAVE FUN AND TONIGHT THEY ARE SERVING SNACKS WHICH IS ALWAYS A PLUS FOR ME! WHILE YOU WERE AT THE PROM WE WERE HAVING A SATURDAY NIGHT MENARDS DATE. ANOTHER PICKUP LOAD OF "WORK" WAS BROUGHT HOME. WE COMPLETED MY PROJECT BUT LYLE'S INCLUDES DIGGING POST HOLES AND THAT DOES NOT SOUND FUN AT ALL. HE WANTS A SPLIT RAIL FENCE JUST FOR SHOW AND ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS WHO WILL MOW AROUND THAT??!! KEEP EATING GOOD STUFF AND RAISE THOSE COUNTS. AS ALWAYS, THINKING OF YOU OFTEN, ROSE FORST

Well, on the bright side of not starting chemo today (if there was a downside at all;)) you get to spend the rest of the week in school and a wonderful weekend at home with friends! Enjoy it as much as you can...it sounds like it is supposed to be beautiful! Keep up the wonderful attitude!

Well you sound like you had some great fun. The idea of a switch might be just what you need. Less harsh yet holding things at bay and who knows in a month or next go around maybe switch back. Need to let the good stuff get reinforced too. Nutrition, rest and spiritual are all vital for healing. Oh did I forget laughter..don't you. Watch some good comedies.It gives us a whole new perspective. Have a good week Hugs,

Good morning ladies - I hope you had a safe trip to Rochester this morning. And Jenna - I am supposing that you behaved yourself at Prom this past weekend? I was home all weekend - the only place I went was a roadtrip to Dairy Queen last night. It was wonderful just to be home. We got a lot of house work done and I am half done grading final papers from MSU-M. Carter and Alysha planted flowers (from seed) on Saturday. I hope that they grow! The kids check them all the time. Hopefully, this will be a quiet week. We pray that this round of chemo will be gentle on you...

Glad everything went well. Your pictures remind of some I have around of "little Jenna" - you always did like a nice dress with accessories and some things never change. Also the big smile has stayed remarkably consistent over the years! We are looking forward to all the big events in the next few weeks - I don't think you really want to mess with having both Macho girls in your suitcases on your trip though, it could get ugly.

Jenna~
Hey! I'm so glad to hear that you had an awesome time at prom. I was at work so I wasn't able to go to the grand march but I heard you looked beautiful! You sounded more alive and awake than I ever did after prom...I think I usually slept the whole next day and night! Anyway, again I am so glad you were able to make it (I got to see Jeff Schnobrich looking studly in his tux when he came to Ridgeway)to prom and glad that you had fun! Take care and praying for you as always.

Jenna,
Glad to hear that you had a good time at the after prom party, and that you were able to stay to the end and get a prize. Grill away girl! Gary was glad to hear that you like the hat. I think it must have been meant for you. I like your idea about the foot massage. We just might have to add that. Thanks. Take care.

Jenna - that was a great "recap" of prom. We were thinking of you all day. I hope that the great memories keep you smiling for a long time to come. Believe it or not, I still think of things that happended in high school and that was years and years and years ago. And I am sure that the "not-so-appropriate-to-write-on-the-website" memories and stories are great too!

We had a lot of fun there. We went to Venice, Pisa, Capri Island, Rome, Florence, Assisi, Napals, and much more. It was well worth the trip, so you have fun!

Way to go girl! Things are looking up! I heard how hard you were working this weekend to eat & drink healthy things and rest. It's paying off! There are some bugs around so be careful - Emily has a stomach thing again and some of her friends have bad colds. Actually Emily had a comment along the lines of "I know how Jenna must feel when she has chemo..." And YIPPEE about the cruise, I know your mom was excited too and she can certainly use the break.

Wow, that was a very positive entry today! I am glad that you are being careful before Prom. You will need lots of energy for the weekend. I hope you win big prizes at the After-Prom Party. Kacie won a dorm fridge one year. It was great!! Make sure you play some blackjack. Jerry is in charge of that department. The guys who are running the tables will be decked out in tuxes also! The Make-a-Wish cruise is soooo cool! Who is going with you?? Once again, know that we truly pray for you and your family often! Keep your spirits up! You are needed in this world!

I am so excited that you will be basking in the sun on that cruise ship! That sounds like one heck of a graduation celebration. I can't think of anyone who deserves that more. Have fun at Prom this weekend, I kind of miss getting someone decked out for the big event. But life is so full of BIG events if we view each day as a blessing. I am learning this more and more each and every day! God bless, and our continued prayers go out to you and your family.

YOU HAVE TO SHOOT THOSE. HE SHOT 12 A FEW DAYS AGO - THAT WAS VERY EXCITING FOR HIM...WE WON'T MENTION HOW MANY BULLETS THAT TOOK. ENJOY YOUR WEEK - VOO DOO TO ALL OF THE GERMS.

Hi Jenna: Just checking in to see how that last bunch of chemo went after we saw you at the hospital. Sounds like you did okay with it. We had Joel's test last week after we saw you and then met with Dr. Kahn and Dr. Shives (the surgeon) and everything is fine. He will have to go back in July for the next 3 month check. His leg is working great for him. He wears it to school everyday and when he goes out in the evenings. Saturday Joel was confirmed so we had a busy weekend, plus it was prom, but he didn't actually go to prom, just hung out with everyone who was going. Jenna, our thoughts and prayers are with everyday. Keep up the hard work and tell your mom "hi" from us. Love Kathy Soukup

Good morning ladies - I hope the trip to Rochester goes well today. Lisa - sorry I didn't get to talk to you at work, I was on-the-go! I was over in Owatonna yesterday for a staffing, then I had the privledge of going prom dress shopping. We didn't find anything - of course, all the dresses are very picked over. On my way to Owatonna, Nate called. He said, "Where is the padding that is supposed to go under your new hardwood floor?" My response, "It must still be at Menards". So, he was not able to start putting in the new floor, but we no longer have carpet in both entry ways, kitchen and dining room. Our house is so dusty - it is just gross. We will definately have to do spring cleaning when Nate is done. I had class last night and of course, with this cold that I have, I lost my voice. That was an interesting class. Then I had to go to Menards. You know, it really isn't very busy at 9:30pm. Well, gotta run. I need to blow my nose. Thanks for sharing, right?!? :)

HE GOT SOME PAYBACK YESTERDAY AS HE MUST HAVE BEEN OUT ON A HUNT AND GOT CAUGHT IN THAT RAIN. I GOT TO GOLF THIS WEEKEND FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON - YEA! LYLE STAYED HOME AND WORKED ON HIS PLANTER-TOUGH CHOICE BUT THE FARMING MUST COME FIRST. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT MY NEW GARDEN WAGON-IT IS LIKE THE KIND FROM THE GREENHOUSES.

As my daughter battles her own personal war, your stories have given me strength and inspiration. Your attitude is marvelous. Your maturity is clear. Your personality shines. You are a remarkable young woman.

I am happy that you have endured yet another round of chemo and have tolerated it reasonably well. I am celebrating with you as you prepare for prom. Keep living with zeal!

Good morning ladies - well, another weekend has flown by and I am very tired this Monday morning. Alysha was kind enough to share her cold with me, so I am feeling a bit "blah". Nate started on the floor this morning. He is hoping to have it finished tomorrow. :) Alysha got her first pair of Sketchers on Saturday. She is very proud. We almost got blown away yesterday - and then decided it was way too windy to play outside. I only have 2 classes left for this semester at MSU - thank goodness. I don't think I have energy to grade many more papers. I hope you guys had a well rested weekend. Remember to eat lots and drink tons of water so you stay healthy for PROM. Take care,

hey jenna! i hope this round goes better than the last one, too. u've gotta be at prom busting some moves on the dance floor ;) anyways, tonight we had a meeting for next year's dance team, and we had to move it to the girls' locker room becuz there was a tornado warning! that spiced things up a bit. we also earned $300 from dr. windschitl for raking the lawn around his office this afternoon. u should ask chelsey about her truck. she kinda broke it, but it's alright now. i hope to see u soon. praying for you! luv ya lots~sharon

YES, AFTER CHURCH ON SATURDAY NIGHT AT 10:30 I BAKED A PAN OF CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, YUMMY IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. LYLE STARTED TRAPPING GOHPERS THIS WEEKEND. HE IS NOW 3 FOR 5. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN CADDYSHACK? VERY SIMILAR...ONE TIME A PESKY GOPHER WAS SO TRICKY THAT LYLE FINALLY PUT A PUSH MOWER OVER THE HOLE AND FUNNELED THE EXHAUST DOWN UNTIL THE MOWER RAN OUT OF GAS. HE DOES HAVE A SOFT SIDE AS HE GIVES ALL OF THE GOPHERS TO KEVIN SO HE CAN HAVE THE $4 BOUNTY. HOPE ALL GOES WELL TOMORROW. AS ALWAYS, THINKING OF YOU OFTEN, ROSE FORST

I've been thinking about you so much lately and trying to understand what God is attempting to teach us through you but I just don't get it. It seems so unreasonably unfair that someone with so much life ahead of them has to endure something so cruel. praying for you....

Hey! How's it going? Ok, you should've come up to St. Cloud last night because there was a tap show that came to school and it was really awesome. It was 5 guys who tapped, beat boxed, played instruments, and sang. They were so good. They even got this little old grandma up on stage and she was gettin' her groove on! I think you really would've liked it. Next time something cool comes I'll let you know BEFORE it happens! Well, I have a feeling that you will make yourself go to prom and you will have a good time. I think it'll be fine.Anyway, just wanted to let you know I am still praying for you and thinking about you all the time. Take care and good luck with the chemo on Friday.

Hi Langers...so no chemo on Monday. Guess that means you will just have to go home, eat well, rest a lot, go to school, play w/friends, maybe watch a little brother play some baseball, hmmmmm, sounds okay for a few days. Jenna, you will be just that much stronger when you start the next round. So do you watch Average Joe on TV? I don't usually, but caught it last night....what a loser, he so badly chose the wrong girl. Bet you 10$ he'll still be single (I mean completely alone) in about 3 months. And how about that Joe Mauer....GO TWINS!!

Hope to see you all on Easter.

Hi guys - well, we recovered from the basketball benefit on Friday night. Alysha did not go to bed until after 11pm and she only slept until about 8:30am on Saturday. We had a great time and I was glad to help. On Sunday I started painting our new doors. I chose this really cool dark blue - but let me tell you, it has been a b#@$% to paint. Every time I think I am done, a few hours later I realize that I need to put on another coat. But, I have to remember my patience and realize that once it is done, we get our new floor! :) Not much else to tell you. My cats are very boring compared to Rose's. I have always wondered what a weasel looks like. I have been kicking some butt at work getting tons done. I go to Red Wing tomorrow. I hope that you are able to start the chemo soon so you will be in tip-top shape for prom. Always praying for you,

Nate & I had a great time at the benefit. It was definitely a good show. I felt bad though for the poor girl that got her shorts pulled down by the mascot:( Well, I hope you have a good rest of the week and of course a happy easter.

Hi Jenna
I think photography is fun too. Get a digital camera. We got a Fugi. Boy it saves.They are very cheap in the long run . Many place have them on sale too. No wasted film. It down loads to computer and you can get photo paper and print right away. Even I can get a good shot in. I took one to NY for the baby pics and it worked great. Have fun. My son, David has one in the Azores and mails the memory card home to us and we download and mail back to him. He has limited computer access or he could email it. It is great. Print only the pictures you want & can convert to DVD too. Hugs,

Hi Jenna,

It was so special to have you stop over with Eric after school. You are welcome to stop over any time. He couldn't wait to talk to you in school and offer to teach you how to play guitar. Eric said you were a very quick learner. Music is so soothing.
I admire your stamina. It's important to keep on fighting and not give up. Just remember the tough times are always followed by rainbows, sunshine, and flowers. Words alone are not able to make your illness easier. We want to wish you hope, comfort, and strength. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Take Care and God Bless !

Hi Jenna
Only 2 weeks and Easter is here. Start getting those eggs colored,baskets stuffed, a new Spring outfit, a walk in the park, & get some bright daffodils to boost your spirits. I remember every spring my dad would buy me a bunch of daffodils.Remember the greatest part of Easter and spring the gift of eternal life from our Lord. Hugs,

Jenna~
Don't know if you got this forward or not but I thought it was funny. Story goes that there were three guys who each married these ladies. The first guy married a lady from Pennyslvania and he told her that she had to cook, clean, etc. He didn't notice any change until the third day he came home and the house was clean and everything. Second guy married a lady from Mississippi and same thing happened. He told her what she had to do and there was no change until the third day when the house was clean and everything. Third guy married a lady from Minnesota. He told her what she had to do (cook, clean, etc) and he said the first day he couldn't see anything, the second day he couldn't see anything, but the third day the swelling in his eyes went down enough that he could finally see a little bit again. Hahaha! Us good ol' MN women!! SOrry kinda cheesy but I got nothin'! Have a good day!

Glad to hear you had a splendid week at home! Good thing you are enjoying school because I sure am not. Oh well, almost over! You're also lucky that you are in southern MN because I drove up to St Cloud this morning and the temperature dropped about 15 degrees in my hour and a half drive. I left in flip flops and got up here freezing! Had to change to some warmer clothes. Well, I hope you have a sure week! Praying for you as always!

Hi Jenna
Well yoga sounds good or even pilates. Get a video for home if you can not find a class that meets your needs or schedule. Call over a few dance girls and do a workout at home of course followed by some shakes and visting. You may start a new trend. Yoga is excellent for stetching and strengthening as well as calming. Check the library for free tape. Remember to laugh some as you get twisted up in some crazy poses.(hehe) Have a great week. Remember---
His grace is all sufficient, Your trials He'll help YOU through, Cast all your care upon Him...For He careth for you. HUGS,

Hello all - just wanted to say "hi". The kids and I are heading to Madison this weekend to visit the relatives. Should be fun..6 hours in the car with Carter & Alysha. Speaking of kids in the car, Carter puked in the car yesterday - after he puked on my bed about 2am on Thursday morning. Small case of the tummy flu. We are praying no one else gets sick for this weekend of travel. We got all the supplies for our new floor and doors!!!! Can't wait to get all the work done. Well, Jenna, we really hope your sore throat is getting better. We do pray for you every night and Alysha has started calling you "Alysha's Jenna". Very cute. Take care,

Hi Jenna,
It was great to see you in church last night! I was hoping to speak to you after church, but you were too quick for me(or I am just to doggone slow). You made the St. Anthony/Middle School prayer list again. So many people are praying for you. I believe that God loves to hear the prayers of little children, especially. I hope your throat feels better and that you are able to be at home for a long while. Hang tough kiddo! You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Mrs. D.

HI guys. Welcome home!!! Hopefully the sore throat is getting better. Being at home can help so much! Barry made some neat post-it notes at work the other day and here are some of the things on the notes:

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year"
"I am happy and content because I think I am"
"You never grow up, you just learn how to act in public"
"And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be"
"I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today"
"Wheresoever you go, go with your heart"
"Time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana"
"It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man"
"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were big things"
"I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out my nose"
"The world is your playground. Why aren't you playing?"
"Life is too important to be taken seriously"
"You're never too old to learn something stupid"
"Live for the moment"
"The really happy man can enjoy the scenery on a detour"
"Smile. It makes people wonder"

Have a wonderful weekend.

We went to watch Chels in the talent show...it was lots of fun & as always she did so awesome that she made me cry:( And of course we had to put a few quarters in....I won $5 on the second pull, but of course I spent it all right away.

Hey! So I read in the paper that April 2nd the Sonics are dancing at MLC for a thing. Any chance you will be there to dance...or at least watch?! I hope so. Hope, too, that your nights haven't been so wild and the fevers have come down. I also hope that, if you aren't out of the hospital yet, that you will be right quick. Anyways, praying for you always and always in my thoughts. One last quick thing (and I'm sorry I didn't do it yesterday) but yesterday was THE IDES OF MARCH! BEWARE!!! Hope it all went well for you and you didn't really have to beware! Have a good day!

Hi Jenna and family,

I am guessing that Tim is the couple that Kacie and I met when we were at Rochester. We will pray for them big time. They are a great couple. They really, really like you Jenna, and have used your awesome personality and stamina to help keep them going! I am not so sure if you realize just how many people you have touched in such a positive way through all this! People NEED you, so you NEED to keep that upbeat personality of yours strong. A reminder again: This is another moment when there is only one set of prints in the sand.....because God is carrying you! Take care and we are praying for Tim and YOU!!! Julaine

Hi Jenna,

Ryan and Brady wanted me to say "hi" to both you and Jack. Brady had hockey in Hudson last weekend and we were able to spend some time with your Dad and Cindy. It sure is wonderful that your Dad is able to get to the hospital everyday!

I wanted to tell you again how much I enjoyed the dance competition. What a talented and energetic group of girls you dance with. Congratulations on 5th place!!

We are praying that your antiboitics will kick into high gear and you'll be able to make that trip to the U of M real soon.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and your friend Tim and his family.

Love,

Hi Jenna
I saw this poem today and thought it was good so here it is:
Hope
When the darkness overwhelms us And we cannot see the light,
There is a God who knows and cares, And He will be our sight.

The God who has all power, The God whose name is love,
The God who has all wisdom ,Will guide us from above.

Do not fear the rocky path Or future unknown strife,
For in His love He carries us, And gives us hope and life.

God's loving arms enfold us And gently hold us tight
He fills us with His peace And keeps us through the night.
------- Idella P Edwards.
Have a good night Jenna. Hugs,

Jeanine

Hey Jenna, wow those fevors just won't leave you alone! I hope you are able to get more restful sleep, those dreams sound interesting. Tryouts went great. I am proud to say we have a team of 22 and possibly 23 (Jenna H). They are a very talented young group and we can't wait to see what the year will bring. I keep sending prayers your way I hope you feel them and I hope you are able to break out of the hospital walls real soon. Take Care!

HI Jenna

Boy those high fevers can really get to a person.In the past whenever I had those, and they were more like 102 I had the same dream about telephone wires where there were maybe 5o wires on a pole and somebody would be chasing me. Your grandma maybe remembers the old Ben Gay magazine advertisements. where an old guy with a sickle would jab your back.
I guess I'm going to blow my own horn,but after the dance team submitted their pictures to The Kopy House, Barb
did most of the layout and sewing of the blocks on the quilt.(Barb has a knack for that, she got it from her mother) After that it went to Barb Johnson's place were Teresa did most of the bordering then Sandy Portner arranged for it to go to Annette Peary (where Sandy did quite a bit of work) at the mall She finished it off and then the danceteam did the tying. Sure glad it is being appreciated by all.
Sharons Dad-I'll be taking four girls up to Moorhead for language village on the 25th and after that its track - I do some work in the mean time.(Don't think this writing would pass Mrs. Moeller's class.)Take care

Dear Jenna
I have had some out-of-state company the last 3days but I have not stopped wondering how you are doing and praying for you. Last night after our trip to WIlliamsburg I mentioned you to my sister-in law who lives in Idaho and asked her to pray for you too. SO even in SPUDSVILLE you are being lifted up. Those fevers you had are high. I guess they have done cultures up the yee-yang and are covering you with antibiotics. Fentanyl does work-I remember using it even on wee little ones for pain. Many find the patch helps to prevent the break thru pain. I was wondering when is your graduation date? Is it in mid-June of sooner? Bet you are counting the days..You take best of care. Keep those fluids going, perhaps get a blessing too. A blessing when you are sick really helps. Praying you sleep well and have renewed strength. Hugs,
Jeanine

Hi guys - thank goodness for pain meds, huh? Sometimes dreams can be quite entertaining, but it sounds as though yours are not. We are praying that the last three rounds of radiation go okay. It sure will be a relief to get those done. Carter and Barry are going to watch some wrestling thing tonight at a friend's house. Carter did wrestle on Friday night - he got 2nd place. It was actually quite funny, but he did well. Right now I am procrastinating cleaning the bathroom. Alysha continues to do very well with potty training. She is very proud of her self and we hear "I did it" quite frequently. And, she continues to wear her flower girl dress ALL the time when she is at home. I am lucky to get it washed now and again. She even slept in it on Friday night. We came out better on our taxes than I thought - we broke even. :) Now that is something to smile about! Hopefully you are both getting plenty of naps in. I am trying to think of some good movies to watch - Antwon Fischer immediately comes to mind. Well, I guess I should pay bills, clean the bathroom, play with the kids, get ready for class tomorrow night, change the laundry, let the dog out, make supper, do the dishes...does the list never stop? Miss you. Sending you hugs, hope, health and happiness.

Jenna~
Hey! Sorry to hear about the rough nights lately. That sucks dude but I'm sure the stories in the morning are pretty interesting! I tried to do my best at try-outs on Friday to get a good team for next year and I think it went pretty well. There were some really good girls there and alot that have potential. It was a good time though although I am a little sick of Wanna Be With Me and a little put out that there was no Amish dance. It was disappointing! There was a very interesting pike jump and a "butterfly" that, let me tell you, made me laugh just about everytime a group tried out! Bri and I had some good laughs while we were sitting together during tryouts. Um, I'm on spring break now but nothing exciting yet. Maybe next week it will be hopping! Anyway, know that you are still in my prayers and I'm thinking of you all the time. And I'm reading a book that really reminds me of you. So keep up the good attitude, I know it is probably incredibly hard, but it will help. Hope you feel better in the next couple of days.

Hi Jenna,

We are happy for you that you were able to go to the ballgame. That had to be a great break for you! We are sorry you have to be back in the hospital again. It must be tough for you to keep making that trip back to Rochester. But, the radiation treatments will soon be over and the sore throat situation should improve. Hopefully, with only the chemo treatments, you then will be able to spend some quality time at home. You are constantly in our thoughts & prayers Jenna. See you soon!

Love ,

Good morning ladies - how in the world did you get the docs to free you last night? Way to Go!!!! Doesn't it feel good that you can now openly cheer for St Mary's? It seems as though you have been in spa mayo for the longest time, so it must even seem a lot longer for you. Nick G came to our house last night to give us the details on our new floor. We have decided to put in a new hard wood floor instead of ceramic tile. And we are also going to get new doors. The new doors need to be in before the new floor, and the floor is getting put in on April 19. I am so excited! How pathetic - so much excitement over something you walk on...it is kinda like that new crock pot I bought at Christmas time. We have finally decided about the Colorado trip - the week of June 21. And believe it or not, we are talking about taking the kids to see an ocean in Jan 2005. Now that is long term planning. Well, you are probably dozing off by now, so I will get back to work. Miss you. You continue in our prayers and Tim & wife will also be added.

Hey Jenna, I'm glad you got to break free for a few hours anyway. I'm sure it was fun for you to see some friends and to watch Kyle play. I will keep you posted as far as the Sonics banquet is concerned, there may be a change in dates??? More than a few families and girls are unable to make it. I will try to call and leave a message when we know more. We will try to decide a date tonight at tryouts. Praying for you always and I will pray for Tim also. Hope that you are feeling better soon!

It's wonderful that the doctors are so accomodating - you deserve it! You're working so hard and they know that. As you see from all the emails many people are thinking about you, praying for you and love you. Hang in there darlin. God Bless you and your wonderful family.

Hey "girlfriend",
Guess what? Jennifer finally brought the Charleston Chews to practice for you and you weren't there! So, needless to say she couldn't contain herself and she ate them. Now I will have to get you another box. HEHEHE. You need to get better quickly. Everyone misses you. Jennifer started a prayer chain at the Middle School about 3 weeks ago.You should have seen all the people who requested prayers for you.I think at least twenty of the slips were written out for you. Everyone is praying for you and I just know that the nasty sore throat will go away soon. I was so proud of you when I read the article in the Journal. Thata girl! Keep up the fight. We love you and you are always in our prayers. Love Mrs. D. and Jenn

Dang that really sucks that you are feeling so down in the dumps. Wish I could telepathically send you some cheer and good times. I guess this will have to do! Sounds like you have a busy week ahead of you though with treatments and visits, and everything. Just don't wear yourself out too much. Anyway, keep those spirits up as much as you can! Take care Jenna. You're in my prayers always. Remember there is nothing going to happen today that you and God together can't handle. My mom gave me a little card that said that when I was going through my surgery and stuff and it helped. Take care.

Jenna, you have been in my thoughts and prayers a lot today. I have been praying that your throat would feel better so you could break out of the hospital. I hope that you will be feeling better soon so you get a pass from the doctors for a short outing. Concerning the Sonics try outs and the Amish folkdance, are spectators allowed? I would like to see the Sonics version of an Amish Folkdance, sounds interesting.

Hello to all - I REALLY hope this sore throat goes away soon. Having a sore throat is the worst. I had a super sore throat about a year ago, with fevers, etc. I had tonsilities and a sinus infection. I cannot imagine that times 20. I hope you are not feeling too irritable. Carter and Alysha are doing well. Alysha is really into "Barbie" and she believes she is a princess. She is constantly wearing her flower girl dress and dancing around the house. I am telling you, she is nothing but girl. Carter has a wrestling match on Friday night. Hopefully he will choose to go. Barry started working nights, so both of us are lacking sleep. Alysha has this relentless cough (only at night). She coughs so much she throws up, then she feels she needs a bath, then she thinks she needs to watch "Nutcracker Barbie". So, picture us watching movies about 2am. Then Carter wakes up...It has been interesting. Work has been challenging. That is all I have to say about that. Miss you,

Throat pain is hard to deal with. Hoping they can let you do some special gargles with a little lidocaine viscous. It numbs it for awhile along with the fever meds for some pain relief. How are those counts? HGB, WBC.? Perhaps some cool shakes, instant breakfast ,icecream, a little ice and whipit up in blender. Praying for you tonight Jenna...Hugs,

Dear Jenna, after meeting your Dad and Cindy recently and hearing about what was going on in your life I wanted to read about CaringBridge. I have read all of your journal entries. You are an amazing young woman and what a trooper! Your spirit and determination are truly inspirational - - - you are fighting a brave battle and everyone is so proud of you. As I was reading I felt so much love. May be kinda corney, but I truly believe that people that have so much love in their hearts helps make all the bad stuff go away - - - of course your wonderful doctors are playing their roles as well, but you my dear with all your might are surely making their jobs a little easier. You are beautiful - what great pictures on this website. My daughter was on Bloomington/Kennedy Danceline years ago (I believe they were called the "Kolleens"). Of course, I thought they were the "Best". I used to scream so hard at the Danceline competitions that I couldn't talk for days - I would totally lose my voice. Those were the good old days!!! I remember all the hard work and hours of practice she would do - all with such dedication, but it was all worth it to see them perform. Sounds like you plan to attend the U of M. I hope you were able to attend the Open House that your Dad mentioned in his journal entry yesterday. Jenna, keep up the hard work at getting better - you are in my prayers - God Bless you!

Hi! Sorry to hear that the chemo is making you feel lowsy. That sucks...we'll just say that it means it is kicking some cancer butt huh?! Nice pictures from sections! I hope you didn't get too much snow down there...we got a bit up here in St. Cloud but not too much. Hope you feel better for tryouts next week! I can't wait to judge on Friday!

HEY JENNA AND LISA, I WILL BE KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT YOU WILL BE LEAVING SPA MAYO TOMORROW MORNING! GREAT PICS WITH THE SONICS. EACH TIME I CLICK ON THE PHOTO BUTTON I AM HOPING FOR SOME NEW PICS. I'LL BET YOUR INTERVIEWS WITH THE DOCTORS ARE VERY INTERESTING, IT IS ALWAYS FUN TO LEARN ABOUT SOMEONE'S BACKGROUND. YOU MAY HAVE TO START YOUR OWN "SPINNING" CLASS WITH THAT BIKE. YOUR DANCE MUSIC WOULD BE PERFECT. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND. THINKING OF YOU OFTEN, ROSE FORST

Hey Jenna, now Lisa is thinking, we could definetly use the time away (just kidding). I think the three of us may get into a little trouble together though, but what is a trip without a little excitement, right?I hope your trips pan out and you are able to get away to a special place away from hospitals and medication, etc. Hope this round is going well and hope to see you next week for tryouts!

Lisa and Jenna - you have had about 24 hours to work on the analytical puzzles. Do you need hints? I am still waiting for your answers... Again, hope the chemo is going well and continues to have minimal side effects. :)

Nicollet, - Thursday, March 4, 2004 11:17 AM CST

Now Jenna,remember what I said about the hair growing back...it often changes color as it grows out. So although it may not be red now...you have a good chance of it changing to fire down the road. Don't give up yet! And about those trips...now that dance is over...Missy & I have a little free time;) I think we could go for one of those as well....right Missy!! Keep in mind how much you love us when you decide who to take with you:) Enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi all: So sounds like things are pretty quiet in old St.Mary's. I'm glad, boring can be much better than the alternative sometimes...though I'm sure you would rather be home w/Jack and the kirb. So I love the brain teasers that Laurie sent...here's something more to contemplate...volume 2 of the the Top Oxymorons. If you like these I can send you volume one.

Top Oxymorons � Part 2 of 2
Part 1 was Last Wednesday
1. Sanitary landfill
2. Alone together
3. Small crowd
4. Butt Head
5. Software documentation
6. New classic
7. Sweet sorrow
8. "Now, then ..."
9. Synthetic natural gas
10. Passive aggression
11. Taped live
12. Clearly misunderstood
13. Peace force
14. Extinct Life
15. Temporary tax increase
16. Computer jock
17. Computer security
18. Twelve-ounce pound cake
19. Exact estimate

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.

See you soon...talk soon.

Hi Jenna! Brunette?...I just can't picture you without your lovely red hair... But no matter what color it is you will still have the gorgeous smile and sparkling eyes...They cannot be taken away... What a great weekend up at the Xcel Center!! All of you upper classmen were so good to the freshmen and even to us freshmen parents!! We finally figured out what we needed to do at all of these competitions and the year is already over!! It has really been alot of fun! Hope your treatments continue smoothly this week. You are always in our thoughts and prayers.

First of all I hope your red hair comes back, from the looks of your picture you had gorgeous red hair, I am sure that was where a lot of your fight comes from too!!! Take care, think and pray for you daily.

Hi Jenna & Lisa. So glad the chemo is going okay. The bus ride over to the clinic with the iv pole sounds complicated! Jim's hair came back his regular color (eventually) but it came back curly & remains so. Hope you can sleep well during all the beeping that comes along with chemo. We continue to keep you both in our thoughts & prayers.

HEY JENNA AND LISA, HMMM BROWN HAIR? YOU WILL HAVE TO CONSULT YOUR STYLIST. I SURE HOPE YOU GET TO GO ON THE ULTIMATE CRUISE! THE SHIP EMPLOYEES WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU! ARUBA IS MY BROTHER'S FAVORITE SPOT, I HOWEVER, HAVE NOT BEEN THERE SO I CANNOT COMMENT. LYLE THINKS A CRUISE ON LAKE MARION WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR HIM...SILLY BOY. YOU WILL HAVE TO LET US KNOW THE ANSWERS TO LAURIE'S PUZZLES, THEY ARE TOO HARD FOR ME. I LIKE THE TAVERN STYLE ONES THAT YOU PUT TOGETHER. YOU MAY NEED SNOW SHOES FOR YOUR IV POLE TODAY AS YOU TREK OVER TO THE RADIOACTIVE AREA. THINKING OF YOU OFTEN, ROSE FORST

Jenna, while I agree you need to return to red, at least brown is the better second choice...blond, I don't think so! You can always do what some of us "mature" ladies do...resort to the bottle!

Good luck with the cruise! The Mediterranean (had to look that up in the dictionary), wow, would that be exciting! At the last minute we booked a cruise for Jay and me and the kids. We'll be headed to the Caribbean for spring break the last week in March! I'm excited. The only island I've been to is Big Island on Lake Minnetonka! Does that count?

Glad to hear chemo's going OK. Thinking of you all the time...luv ya!

St. Cloud, MN - Wednesday, March 3, 2004 9:13 AM CST

Good morning ladies - well, as I spent the day in Bloomington yesterday, I realized that I forgot to send a puzzle book with you to the hospital. So, to keep both of your minds sharp, I am going to share some analytical thinking skill puzzles with you. And I expect an answer of some type from you. You can work together or alone, but a reward will be given to the one with the best answer! I think this is the teacher coming out in me! :)

Puzzle #1: The Prison Break
Jim develops an elaborate plan to escape from prison. After successfully escaping, Jim makes a mocking phone call to the prison authorities. He reveals that he is only a few miles away at a local tavern frequented by many off-duty guards. The authorities are dismayed by this news, yet make no attempt to take him back into custody. Can you explain their unusual reaction?

Puzzle #2: A Fire Escape
Nicole awakes to the smell of smoke. Although she realizes the danger in her situation, she makes no attempt to leave the building where she has been sleeping. Why?

Puzzle #3: The Long Road Ahead
Bubba sets out on a hazardous journey. Although his destination is in sight the entire time, he has to travel 400 miles in order to reach his destination. Can you explain the circumstances surrounding this event?

Enjoy. We continue to pray that this hospital stay is uneventful. The article in the Journal was wonderful. One more thing, Lisa - you are going to be my potential date on Saturday night, depending when you guys get back to New Ulm. I'll fill you in on the details later. Take care. Miss you,
Laurie <laurie.strunk@co.brown.mn.us>

Hi there! I just made some peanut butter toast for my lunch and I'm hoping that you have better stuff to eat than that! Haha! I have to say I'm a little disappointed that you decided to go to the U next year as that isn't quite as close as St. Ben's but oh well. I know a few people at the U too. I cut your article out and stuck it on my fridge here in St. Cloud so you are a regular celebrity all over the state!

Congratulations to you and the Sonics for taking 5th place at State. That is a terrific accomplishment! Although you didn't dance,we know your contribution to the team was magnificent and we are really proud of you. We read the Saturday article of you and the Sonics in the New Ulm Journal on their web site. It was a great article & we really enjoyed it. We are happy to know your kidneys are in good enough condition to resume chemo. You have the greatest strengh,courage and will of anyone I have ever known, and it will bring you through this challenge. Hope everything goes well this week.

New Ulm, MN U.S. - Monday, March 1, 2004 9:44 PM CST

Hey Jenna,
In September I came up to Minnesota for family reasons and I stopped by the school to say hello to everyone. At that time you and your family had just found out and were at the Mayo clinic. Mrs. Soehrn ended up telling me because I had recently moved out of Minnesota in August after I graduated college to Illinios, and I don't come back often so no one told me. And since then I have had you in my prayers. But Mary Hazuka just told me tonight about this website and I thought that I should write a little note to you and say that I am praying for you and for your family. I know that we didn't talk a lot when I was there at Cathedral and don't even know if you remember who I am, but I did want to make sure that you know you have touched a lot of people's hearts and that there are a lot of people out there that care about you. I wish you the best in life and in your future.

Dear Jenna and Lisa,

Jenna--So glad to hear you guys did well at the dance competition! Congratulations on what I am sure was a super job well done. Sounds like you had a great time, and loved every minute of the performance, etc. Your spirit is wonderful--words can not really do it justice (sounds corney but it is true). You continue to be in my thoughts, Jenna, and in my prayers.

Lisa--My painting clothes are ready for use-name the time! Your house is gonna ROCK!

I have a surprise for you both and Jack when you get back on Saturday.:-)

My love,

Hi Jenna
Wishing you well thru this new treatment plan. Dance is hard to leave but you never fully leave it. My daughter, Julie danced from age 3 to about 15 or so then chose to do soccer she was a great runner due to dance. Now in college we went to her Black belt Karate Collegiate Competition on Saturday and we can truly see how dance helped her with form, muscle ,endurance, stability ,balance, concentration,competitiveness,and perserverance. All the things you have used in dance will carry over to whatever else you chose to do. You are a determined young lady and all the fun, friendship, sharing, and good times of dance will also carry your spirit as well as the physical. Be strong Jenna. Praying for you... HUGS,

I was so glad that this time I got to talk to you and cheer for you guys. I think it is a good thing that I couldn't cheer the whole year because my throat sure hurt the next day from all that yelling! Anyway, you guys did an awesome job and you all should be very happy with how you danced. I guess I will see you and all the rest of the girls at try-outs in a couple weeks!

Hello Lisa and Jenna - Alysha definately had a great time on Friday night. She loved wearing that little dress. On Sunday, she was wearing her flower girl dress that Teresa made for her. She was dancing around all morning, referring to herself as a princess. I do have to admit, she is the most beautiful little girl!! :) It will be fun to get her in dance class this summer. When we went outside to play, she had to put pants on...she was not happy. Then, of course, she wore about 3 other dresses before it was time for pj's. Barry and I took Carter bowling on Saturday. We had the bumpers down (for Carter, of course). It was fun. We are finally planning our trip to Colorado. We are going in April - and I believe all 4 of us are going - and we will be driving. We are in need of a small, inexpensive get away...Hope all is going well with the docs and we are praying that the new round of chemo is kind to you Jenna.

Well I have to start over..I sent this to you and for some reason it decided to quit on me haha so I am going to start again. I miss you!! I hope your danceteam did well at state and I am glad you were able to be there with them. THe article in the journal was very cute and you looked hot as always. I copied your senior picture from your website on to my computer and placed it with some lyrics and hung it up on my locker. The lyrics are from the song "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban. Its a very uplifting song and it reminds me of you everytime I hear it. I listen to it before every basketball game. I also love Josh Groban ahha I think I might marry him..haha j/k. Not much else is new around here just been busy with the play since its only a month away. We built the sets on satruday and there are a lot of them haha. Well otehr then that I just got home from a Miss Sleepy Eye meeting. THats coming up on March 6, (Next saturday) there is a dance afterwards so you should come because then we can get our groove on haha..well i hope all is well for you and that your new treatments going well on monday. I love you and I miss you lots!!

Hi again today! The janitor was cleaning the bathroom so I wasn't able to take a shower in between classes so I came on here to write a quick note instead. Again I just wanted to say hi and GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND!!!!! I can't wait to see all you guys and actually get to cheer for one of the first times this season! Looking forward to it! So I will see you on Friday. I'm working the registration desk Saturday morning so hopefully I will get to be the one to put all of your wrist bands on! Good luck again!

Hi Jenna - Barry and I were gifted with court side seats to a Timberwolves game about 7 years ago. It was the best basketball game I have ever been to. And, really, Carter was able to go too because I was pregnant at the time. I am glad you were able to experience meeting the team, etc. I bet the suite was awesome. I was at Barnes and Nobles on Sunday and bought two amazing challenging thinking puzzle books. I use them for the class I teach at MSU-M. I will send one with your mom for your extended stay at spa mayo on Monday. You need to keep your mind sharp!! And I will leave you with an inspiring message from Dr. Oswald T Pratt, "People who work in the food service industry are probably spitting in the food a lot more often than you'd think". Stay strong, healthy and faithful...and never, never lose your sense of humor.

Hi Jenna,

We are so happy that you had a great weekend. It is fantastic that the Sonics did so well & will be going to State next weekend. Even though you won't be physically dancing,we know you will be providing a lot of inspiration to the other girls on the team -and enjoying yourself as the Sonics win the State Championship. Good luck Sonics!
You must have had a terrific time at the Timberwolfs game on Sunday. You guys really went first class! Too bad the Wolfs didn't win but, win or lose, it must have been fun,and a wonderful experience.

Have a good week Jenna. We are thinking of you.

Hello Jenna-
As I write this, I'm watching the Timberwolves and hoping to see Kyle, yourself, and the rest of the crew on the t.v.. You were part of the record breaking crowd for the most people attending a home Timberwolves game. Over 20,300!!
I wanted to congratulate you and your awesome Sonics dance teams. We enjoyed watching the competition and the talent of so many girls. After watching tons of boy's basketball games, it was a treat to attend a different kind of competition.
Continue to have fun with your friends! You have so many special friends and we have enjoyed meeting them.
Sonics-Good luck at State!!

Jennifer was so excited to be able to go to the Sonic's sectionals. She really enjoyed it and she said you looked great out there! I am so happy that you were able to dance. Jennifer really looks up to you and admires you. You inspire everyone. Jenn is going to try out for danceline this year, so it was a great experience for her to see you perform yesterday. Keep up the fight, keep that great attitude, and keep the faith! You are amazing. Love ya, Mrs. D.

Jenna~
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! You guys looked so good today I was crying while not trying to show any bias while you guys were dancing! Jazz funk looked so much better than when I last saw it! I was very impressed! High kick was so awesome too! Of course, I knew you guys were going to State almost right after you danced and your scores came in but that is besides the point! It looked really good and I think you guys have an awesome chance next weekend. I'm sure you will be perfecting and perfecting and perfecting this week and it will look 100 times better next Saturday! Keep up the good work and I know you guys will be happy with how you do at State! And next weekend I get to cheer so it will be even better! But just so you know, I am running scores during pre-lims so you better make it to finals so I can sit with everyone and scream my head off while you dance! Good luck this week with treatment and with dance and I hope to see you next weekend...getting medals around your necks! Again, congrats on the awesome performances today!

HEY LISA AND JENNA, WOW, DID YOU HAVE A BUSY WEEKEND. IT IS SUCH FUN TO LOOK FOR DRESSES. I WENT SHOPPING ON SUNDAY WITH MY FRIENDS AND WE EVEN LOOKED AT SOME AND WE DON'T EVEN NEED ANY!! HOPE YOUR THROAT FEELS BETTER SOON. THE ONE THING THAT SEEMED TO CUT THE METAL TASTE FOR LYLE WAS A REALLY TART SMOOTHIE. WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE SMOOTHIE BLENDERS THAT WE WOULD BE GLAD TO SHARE. PLEASE NOTE THAT IT DOES RUN ON THE FLOOR IF YOU LEAVE THE SPIGOT OPEN...LYLE HAS FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF THAT LITTLE KNOWN FACT. YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED TO KNOW THAT I HAVE A DIFFERENT CAR. I AM STILL IN THE 90'S BUT HAVE MOVED UP 3 YEARS!! MY BROTHER TOLD ME I NEEDED TO GET YOUNG AND NOT DRIVE A GRANDMA'S CAR ANYMORE. THINKING OF YOU OFTEN, ROSE FORST

Hello Jenna - it sounds as though your weekend shopping was successful. I am sure you will look amazing at Prom. You said something to me about your senior class song and that got me thinking. When I graduated from high school we didn't have a sappy song either. We chose "Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row. You probably don't even know who Skid Row is....anyway, I also have the deep, raspy, sexy voice due to throat irritation. Mine is due to a virus, because I am not being radiated. Well, gotta run. And as always, hoping that this radiation and the new chemo goes well.

Since you guys dance 2nd at Montevideo I get to watch! And I am going to try my hardest to sneak out of the tab room so I can watch high kick too! I'm so excited and can't wait till this weekend!Have a good week. And if I don't talk to you before this weekend good luck and I am going to State and I expect to have a team there to cheer for! Have a good week. Always in my prayers.

Lisa, Jenna & Jack - well, it is snowing again. It looks kind of pretty, but of course, I am anxiously awaiting for spring to arrive. I went to the furniture store yesterday. I found more than I actually intended to buy, so I decided to wait on the new bedroom furniture until the new floor is put in. Alysha and Carter say "hi" and hope things are going well for you. Alysha insisted on wearing a dress today...so she can be pretty when she dances. Carter decided to stop participating in his tumbling classes - "it's for girls". Well, I better get some work done. I went walking at Vogel Arena over lunch. Take care,

I check in every couple of days and it is always a pleasure to read your entries. Love your attitude - if anybody is going to beat this, you are.

It has been gray, sloppy and cold here in NYC for what is beginning to feel like a million years. FINALLY - a sunny day. Hope the sun is finding you, too. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Jenna,
I have some inside information on your hair color when it comes back. I think it is going to be bright orange with black stripes - just like the TIGER that you are. Congratulations on your dance performance this weekend. You and your team put in a great effort! Your choreography input must have been terrific. First place is only 2 levels away - press on.

Dear Jenna,

Congratulations on your dance team doing so well. Keep at it with those rehearsals and try the liquid from roasted winter squash. It works even better than chicken soup. My boss lost all her hair due to chemo and it came back with tons of body, the kind she used to pay to have put in with a perm. Best of luck to you.

Thank you very much for the weekend update! That is awesome and it just made me smile. You guys can do so much in two weeks that I'm sure both routines will be state material! Haha! Um, I know I told you I was going to try to make it to practice last Friday and I totally forgot! So...I work overnights again on Thursday and get off at 6 am Friday morning so I am writing it in my planner that I need to get to practice and maybe I can give you guys some brilliant tips (or maybe not!) but maybe something will help! Anyway, have an awesome week, good luck with practice, treatments, and everything else. Hope to see you on Friday! Always in my prayers!

Great news, Jenna! Your mom read your latest entry to several of us when we were in her office yesterday as she opened up the site. Her pride in her spunky daughter was obvious and the excitement of the news was present in the air! Your literary talents made us laugh and cry--have you thought about becoming a writer??? May God continue to answer the astronomical number of prayers being offered daily and heal you!

Jenna, I was so happy to hear the great news on your CT scan. I'm a friend of your Aunt Sue's and our family has had you in our prayers since the beginning. You are a very strong, determined young lady. God uses us in many ways. Your experience with cancer (while not something you would have chosen) has enlarged you even more than you were to begin with. Our continued prayers for your therapy and good luck on your dance competition this weekend!!!

We're so happy that the spot is gone. Great news for you. I'm glad Helena sent you some of that great German chocolate. I have a tendency to eat most of it myself when she sends it our way. Oh, I bet you know that my vote goes to the U. No matter where you go, Jenna, you will be successful. Go get em at the danceline competition. It's great that you get to do some dancing.

Jenna: We are so happy to hear of the positive news of your tests results yesterday. That is really great to have your lung xray show up clear, and to have your other tests looking good also . When your dad called last night with the report, we were just elated. God "is" paying attention to everyones prayers! Keep up the fight Jenna! This is a tough challenge for you, but there is no one tougher than Jenna Langer. We know that you have the courage, spirit, and strength to take on this challenge.

Have a great time at the dance competition this weekend - but, save some of that energy for the major competition.

Love you honey!

I hope its sinks in, now is the time we need to work harder than ever. Keep working hard and I'm scared to think of what you and the girls we'll keep busy with on Saturday. I hope we do not have a drama room! Hope the rest of your visits go well and praying for you always.

Just a few thoughts about choosing a college: Both schools would be excellent. Perhaps you should choose on the basis of what you think you want to be doing five or ten years down the road. Also, how do you best learn? Are you more comfortable in small or large classes?
You are a" woman of great determination" and faith. Where do you think you will grow more as that woman?
If you can't make up your mind, just ask Grandma.
Keep up the faith...that radiation which you are having does work. My brother had it at Stanford.
You're in my daily prayers.........

Good Morning Jenna! You finally got your snow day. I hope your trip to Rochester is a safe one. So, am I hearing this correctly, YME got beat!? Sorry I didn't return your call on Saturday. I am sure the girls will fill me in at practice. Let's hope we can do the same on Saturday! Hope to see you soon. Praying for you always!

Good morning ladies - I hope that you had a safe trip to Rochester this morning. The roads are really bad - so I am guessing you are going to stay in Rochester tonight. Here is our weekend update - Carter went wrestling on Saturday. He got his butt kicked. He had to wrestle some REALLY GOOD little guys. He got 4th place and came home with another trophy. We are very proud of him - I think it takes a lot of courage to get out there and wrestle someone you don't know. I told him I would probably get pinned in the first 7 seconds, he didn't agree with me though. We went swimming on Sunday, so we got our exercise in for the weekend. And I am pleased at the results of the superbowl. Enough said about that. I hope you had a wonderful weekend, as I am sure it was very busy. See you soon!

Good morning Jenna
Saturday Hope you slept in some today! Congratulations on your school acceptance. That is great. You may also want to check out the closest community college. It may be good to start 1 class there over the summer before going away to get the English out of the way and start slow. It is usu cheaper,closer and more convenient.My kids & friends usu take 3-6credits over the summer. See how you feel and if you can fit it in. Check to see about some on line stuff too. -that might be a good way to take a class as well. I know you'll do great in whichever you chose . You are very motivated. Have a great wkend . Hugs,

It may be tempting to go where all your friends are going, but you need to go where you would be most happy and feel you'd get the most out of your college experience. Take your time in making your decision too...Good luck. Love ya Cuz!

Hello all - Lisa, again, it was wonderful to see you last night. And you looked absolutely marvelous. :) Last night Carter shared that he had a great day in school. :) Jenna - please explain how the pop tabs deal works. I know that we collect them here at work and when I was visiting at the hospital there were collection boxes everywhere for them, but how does it work? Do the bottling companies give money to the Ronald McDonald house for so many colleted? I am just trying to figure this out - and I think that if more people understood the deal, they might be more apt to save and collet them. Make sure you have safe drivers for your trips to Rochester. Even though you love this snow, it creates havoc for drivers! Wishing you the best,

Wishing all of you the best as you get into the radiation treatments. I found this prayer in a book I was reading. You may like it. Dear Lord, I need your peace today. I have crooked places that need to be made straight and rough places that need to be smoothed. I'm facing high mountains and low valleys. I need help. I release into your hands all the worries, snxieties and struggles of life. Keep up the spirit. I would like to drive you to Rochester, so if you need a ride any day feel free to call the night before. I could possibly let Melissa take you(if it's ok with your mom) and she doesn't have tests at school. Love and hugs!

So I have to ask, did the Ronald McDonald House serve Big Mac's, fries and a shake? And did the Hamburglar tuck you in at night? To bad they don't have a drive through window for radiation treatments. Glad it was comfortable there, it seemded like a very warm, cozy place. Hang in there...we're thinking about you all the time. Hope to see you soon...Lisa give me a call when it works for you. Maybe see you this weekend?

Hi guys - it sounds as though all went well yesterday and today at Mayo. Wonderful! Jenna - I think that you are absolutely amazing. Reading your description of the radiation treatment makes me very claustrophobic, and yet you did so well with it. :) I had a very interesting day at work today - I was on intake and I think I got about 100 intake calls and walk-ins. Plus, the police also called me when I got home. And, I was pulled over by one of Minnesota's finest troopers on my way home from work today. That was a treat, especially since I had no idea what I did wrong. Alysha was very friendly to the trooper and I learned I was pulled over because I have a headlight out and I was going about 62. I didn't get a ticket :) thanks to the little lady in the back seat!! I had to laugh about it. Well, see you tomorrow night at my house.

Hi Jenna
Thanks for the update. Glad you got to & fro your treatments ok. We had off yesterday as a SNOW DAY for 2-3 inches. In VA this is BIG! I know you deal with cold & snow almost everyday.Perhaps someone can tape your teachers lectures in the classes that you miss and give you copies of the notes. As you drive to treatments listen to the cassettes in the car as you read the notes and add your own additions. May help pass the travel time and keep you caught up.Praying your spirit is strong. HUGS,

I was just checking in to see if there were any updates. I hope that your first two rounds of radiation went as expected. Lisa, it was so good to see you last week, I just wish we would have had more of a chance to sit and chat - although I don't really have anything new or interesting to tell you. All the same I really miss having you around. Drive safe and know that my prayers continue to come your way.

Hi Jenna:
I couldn't help but think that the new blanket of fluffy, sparkling snow that we received on the SAME day as your new treatments began was no accident.....To me, it was God saying, "this is your new beginning, and your fresh clean start". I have recently seen two brief medical blurbs about the type of treatment you are initiating, and the commentaries sounded so exciting and hopeful!!! In our thoughts and prayers always,

Hi guys - I tried to sign in last night, but there must have been an overload of people checking the website and it would not let me in. I had all kinds of brilliant things to tell you last night, and now, being it is so cold outside and so early in the morning, I can't remember what I tried to write last night. So, anyway, hope radiation treatments 1 & 2 are going well. Drive safely on your way home today!

A whole week at home. Congratulations! That must be a record since you started going to Mayo. We are so happy that you have been able to spend this time with family & friends and doing the things you like to do, especially - going back to school where most of the activities take place. The love,respect and care that you receive from everyone is so well deserved. I know that you appreciate the prayers,thoughts amd best wishes expressed by all of these friends, and that you feel that it is very helpful to you in dealing with the "test" that God has placed before you as you begin your series of radiation treatments on Monday. We all continue to hope and pray that, through the grace of God, these treatments are a huge success. We love you so...ooo much Jenna!

Jenna: Hoping you are enjoying the time home with family & friends! I found this angel prayer & thought I would send it your way........

When angels sense you need them,
and angels always do,
they come, unseen, from everywhere
to help & comfort you.

They hover close beside you,
until all your cares are gone,
they fly away to other hearts
so you can carry on.

But one, at least, stays with you
as your constant friend and guide,
for Guardian Angels never leave,
they're always by your side.

Take care!

Hi Jenna
Sounds like you will be on the road alot hope the weather cooperates.Will you be going on chronic homebound for the month? This is where you get work brought to you and a tutor/teacher stops by a few days a week to give assignments, clarify work and pick up completed work. I guess you can do some work as you travel if you feel up to it.Then when you can you get back to a regular schedule. Wondering if there is a Ronald McDonald House close to the hospital where you can stay if weather gets bad in a pinch? Lots of planning ,I am sure it will get done. They say where there is a will there is a way! Take Care..

I know this is so hard for you and your family but you are such an optimistic person. You definitely have a will and a damn good reason to fight and I know you'll do just that. Plus you have so many people, friends, and family standing behind you and you are in all of their prayers, including mine. I know you are going to fight this and you will overcome. And like you said, you will have one of those posters up for everyone to see! Just know that I am praying for you everyday and thinking about you always.

Well Jenna, I finally remember to get that "Winner's Creed" for you...so here it is:

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't,
it's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you've lost:
For out in the world we find
success begins with a person's faith;
It's all in the state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or faster hand;
They go to the one who trusts in God
and always thinks "I can."

Jenna, I know that you can win this battle because you never lose hope. Keep up that positive attitude!

Most of the Family Service Staff are at Martin Luther College along with the District 88 staff hearing an excellent presentation on "The Culture of Poverty". I wanted to get a few things done (including a note to you) before heading up there myself. I can't say much that others haven't said. I think of you and pray for you often. I pray for your strength, for your healing and for inner peace. You are an awesome young woman with an awesome family and a loving God and many, many, many friends. You'll remain in my prayers and I'll keep checking your website for updates.

Hi guys - I know I just signed in less than 24 hours ago, but I have got to tell you this. Carter participated in his first wrestling tournament today and he got second place. He came home with a trophy that he is so proud of. He is quite the go-getter out there on the wrestling mat. Anyway - just a little bragging from a proud mom. Take care and wishing you happiness, hugs and health.

Jenna - you do such an awesome job on the journal entries. You have a great talent for writing. I am predicting that you will be writing a book someday. I had the weirdest dream last night and you were in it. You had this very long red hair (a shade redder than your usual color, but it was a very deep red, not orangish) and we were going to go swimming at Lake Crystal Rec Center, then you and I ended up riding on a bike (I was giving you a ride on a single person bike) and we were supposed to ride for several miles, but I don't really know where I was supposed to take you. And then someone got into a strange type of car. And then, we went back to a house that was supposed to be mine, but it wasn't. And then I don't know what happened. Weird huh? I know where the swimming at Lake Crystal came from, because I knew I was taking the kids there today, but the rest means something, but what? This is something for your clever mind to figure out. We have been praying for plan B to be opening a can of whoop #$@ on this cancer. We are feeling quite positive. I hope you enjoy this time with friends and family. And, the offer stands that I am able to help with transportation to Rochester for radiation. I am curious what the mask for your face is all about. Well, always thinking of you and praying for the best. Love to all,
Laurie <laurielynnstrunk@aol.com>

Hello Jenna, it was good to read your entry today and feel your determined spirit rising again. I have personally kicked my level of praying for you up in intensity. I am enclosing a copy of the prayer I gave your mom this week. I would encourage all of your readers to make a copy of this and start saying it daily for you. Miracles do happen dear Jenna, and with all of us praying for you we can make it possible.
As always � Karen, Larry, Nick and Emily

UNFALING PRAYER TO ST. ANTHONY
�Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints�

O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and Charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or anxiety. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me (request). The answer to my prayer may require a miracle, even so, you are the Saint of Miracles. O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours.
Pater, Ave and Gloria

Hi Jenna and Family,
I thought about you and prayed for you many times today. I hope you and your doctors came up with a good plan of attack! If you could beat this thing on courage and determination alone, then you'd have it licked! You are so amazing and such an inspiration to all of us. You have made us take a look at our lives and realize what is really important- the love and support of our family, faith community, and friends. I think all of us have grown in our prayer lives because of you. I have never been prouder of one of my former students as I am of you. You have taught us all to never give up and to take strength in the love of God and each other. Your positive attitude continues to inspire us all. You are always in our thoughts and prayers, and if I could, I would give you a big hug right now, Jenna. Take care and stay strong in spirit. You are loved by many people. Love, Mrs.Descarrega

Anyway...you have been in my prayers since I first heard about you, You see I am also battling cancer - don't you just hate that word!!! I have metastatic kidney cancer with tumors in my lungs. There is no cure so I am part of a clinical trial involving a new chemo at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. I feel very lucky to be included in this and it is showing some success. I just wanted you to know that I think of you often and will continue to pray for you. I have learned that prayers are really powerful!!! Take care and say "Hi!" to your mom for me.

Hi Jennarator,
Good luck tomorrow Hon! How I wish you didn't have to go through all this but you're sure showing us how it's done. Still I have to believe anything's possible. You're right, the doctors have a lot of "don't knows" so you just have to go forward with hope and determination. Here's another thought: what the heck does "cure" mean anyway? There are a lot of people out there who I suppose aren't technically "cured" of whatever condition they have, but they still have good lives. Anyway take care! I love your treatment plan of living it up, and to my knowledge you really haven't had a problem doing that in New Ulm or Sleepy Eye...Love always,

Hi Jenna: Just checkin in. Just wantin to let you know we are thinking of you. I dont care if we have never met. I said a rosary last night for you, (havent done one of those in years). Hope you felt it. What are some of your favorite things, by the way. Charleston Chew someone mentioned? What is that, gum or chewing tobacco(tee-hee) or something? Gracie thinks its some kind of chocolate marshmallow something or other. I think its chewing tobacco...:) But I am old, so what do I know. Hope you can appreciate a little humor nowadays....Could you let us cheerleaders out here know, really about some things you like?.... just for fun. And really, if you do like chewing tobacco, its OK - we will still pray for you. Ciao

Hi Jenna
YOU GO GIRL! Continue to ask questions, take an active role in your quest for optimal wellness,and write in your journal. It helps with reflection,feelings, and goals-sometimes it is easier to tape it. Taping good experiences those filled with love,fun and learning are always great to relisten to later.Look for atleast one positive thing in your day and express gratitude for it. I have found that helps me realize how truly blessed I am. You are blessed with a family who loves you, good doctors, good friends, a talent to dance .....and I am sure so many things. Stay positive Jenna. No One can take away your Hope when it is based on Faith in the Lord. hugs..............

The news you received from your doctors was not what we had hoped you would hear.

The prayers and hugs continue to come your way. Your spirit is an inspiration to all of us.

When you find out your schedule for radiation,we would gladly help with the driving if you have to go to Rochester every day or even Mankato. I will watch your web site for an update on that. I have lots of sick time to use up as I will lose it the end of this year. My department at work will be termindated by next January.

We will be gone February 5 thru February 13. Charlie and I are making the trek to Guatemala (sspelling??)We remember the great experience it was for you, Jenna, and your Grandmother. Is there anything we can bring back for you or is there something you would like to send along? Any words of wisdom???!!!

We love you all-

I'm not as eloquent as some posters are ;) I guess all I really have to add is just to keep in mind that all of us are here to help you if you need it - and you too Lisa, Jack, and Kurt if you need anything. Remember that we are all here praying for you and collectively we're a VERY stubborn and determined group as I'm sure God is finding out from all the prayers for you that are being sent HIS way :)

Hi Jenna and family-You don't know me. I follow a few Caring Bridge sites, and yours was mentioned on Amy Mareck's. I read the whole history and am in awe of your courage and humor as you have faced this illness and its challenges. You are amazing. It stinks that you are now having to face some really hard decisions. But God gave you an amazing family to support you and guide you. Please continue to surround yourself with the love of your family, aunts, friends.....I can't imagine how hard this must be. I believe in God and believe he listens. There are so many prayers being said on your behalf. Hopefully, you can feel them embrace you. Hang in there.
Incidentally, my dad grew up in NU, and my grandparents lived there until their death.

I am rooting for you.

Hi there Jenna,
I know this probably isnt one of the happiest days you've experienced and I am not really sure what to say. However, You are such a strong and spirited person that whatever happens you will make the best of it and always have a winning and fighting attitude. People as inspirational as you are hard to come by these days and I am so happy I get to know one first hand. Everyone I possibly know is saying an extra prayer for you.

Hi Jenna: You don't know me, but I did go to school with your mom long ago (needless details I'll spare you of). Anyway, I just wanted you to know that your name has come up so often in the past months....by so many people I work with and go to school with in both NU and SE. You have so many people who are praying for you, and you are cared for so deeply. What a tremendous young lady you are. What a fighter. Keep it up! Finally, I wanted to say thank you for inspiring us all, and we are grateful for all the lessons YOU teach US. You go girl!!!!

I know that it is still Tuesday and I already signed in today, but my thoughts of you have continued throughout the day. The tears come often, and then I have to remember that maybe plan A didn't work, but plan B, C or D may be what this cancer needs to GO AWAY. I am guessing it gets hard to stay strong and be positive, but please remember that spirit is an essential part of the healing process. Like so many others have told you, keep your faith, keep your spirit strong and please be willing to accept help from others if this fight gets too overwhelming. Love you,
Laurie <laurielynnstrunk@aol.com>

Dear Jenna,
There is a hymn that goes "Gird up your loins ,fresh courage take.Our God will never us forsake and soon we'll have this tale to tell, ALL is well, ALL is well." You are a strong spirit Jenna. Look at all the options get those 2nd, 3rd and as many opinions from various places , pray about it and choose a treatment plan. Some say there is no guarantees in life BUT Jenna you are loved by your Father in Heaven and many others. He is ever mindful of each of us. A little friend of mine showed me we need to live, love and laugh each day to the best of our ability no matter where we are at. I pray you may be led to the plan that is right for you at this time. SENDING HUGS,
Jeanine

Jenna, sorry about all this bad news, but don't go without a fight, as i know you will fight. Radiation is a good plan. Right now I'm getting radiation for Osteoscarcoma in my lung and it's working great. It has kept my one tumor from growing and that first 6 weeks I went through was a long time ago. Anway I think radiation is a good step to take. Anway hang in there and I will be praying for you.

i don't know exactly what to say. All i know is that you are an incredibly strong person, and after confronting your cancer you can do most anything. Although I know its hard I want you to try to think positive. You are getting help from the best hospital in the world. They have so many things that they can do for you. I want you to know that I am thinking about you always, and I am sure your determination and strength will get you through this. I will keep praying for you and your family. If you or your family ever needs anything please call or e-mail.

Hey there sweetheart~ I usually ask how you are doing, but by the journal you are not doing as well as expected, but your spirits are still looking forward.I believe in you and my spirits are telling me that everything is going to work out for the better.Technology has come so far today and I just know that the Doctors will find something that is going to work for you!Your attitude will help so much too, I'm sure that on the inside you are tired and sick of this stuff, but you present yourself with having confidence and being happy.Sometimes it is ok to show your real emotions, but the most important thing is to never give up.By looking at how many times people have looked at this sight no one else is giving up on you! Jenna I have so much confidence in you and I just know that everything is going to be ok!! Have faith and I love you hun!

Jenna~ Well...where do I start? First of all I have to tell you that I am so proud to be your twin and you are one of the greatest inspirations of my life. It wasn't that long ago that I met you that I began to realize just how wonderful you are. You have a sort of spirit that is like no other and I always feel much happier when I am around you. I'm praying for you constantly and I hope it's helping. Sometimes God has His own plans and we don't know why but it never hurts to keep asking Him for what we want. Keep your head up high because God is on your side and you have a whole army of friends and angels surrounding you. We all love you so much and everyone is praying for you. Hang in there hunny! I love you so much!!

Hey Jenna & Family,
It was very hard to hear the latest news as I've been through it twice with my brother, Norbie Portner. Doctors didn't give him much hope but look where he is today! Only God knows what the future holds. Everything has a reason and a purpose. God has plans for you!!! Keep up your courage, strength and positive attitude. You're in our prayers. Thanks for talking with the "girls' last nite. You are so remarkable!!!
Love and so many hugs!!! xxx000xxx

P.S. My brother would love to get together with you sometime if you'd like!!!

Oh i forgot something Jenna this is a quote that reminds me of you:
Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.
-Flavia Weedn

You have left footprints on my heart and many others! I love you Jenna

God has a plan for you and even though we don't know what it is some how we have to come to accept it and know that it is for the best.

Difficult to come up with the words - so I will let others help me:

"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."

Jenna, Each day I think of you so often and pray for you almost as often. I had so many things I wanted to say, but here they vanish. Others have more eloquently phrased it: you are so loved, a brilliant fighter, an optimist, and an all around wonderful person (just like your Mom). I'm so glad you're speaking up about your questions and concerns. Lisa, Kurt, Jack, Ann, Cate, and the other Domeiers and Langers, I'm thinking and praying for you. Your strength is your virtue. No one can answer the question of why, but you are answering the question of how to fight this. Missing you so.

Hey Jenna, sorry to hear that things didn't go as planned. Just remember that God has a plan for you...whatever it may be. Have faith in him & never lose hope. You are an amazing person with so much fight left that I know this will be just another bump in the road. Do you remember "The Winners Creed" that we read to you guys at danceline? If you have it, I want you take it out & read it....I don't have it right now otherwise I would cite it for you. I think that there are some powerful words in there that not only fit for danceline;) but for your fight with cancer as well. I will see if I can find it & put it in my next entry. Just hang in there & continue to be the Jenna that we all know well....strong & full of spirit! You truly are an inspiration to all of us!

I am not sure what I should be writing after reading the entry tonight. I just know that I should. I feel pain and you're not my daughter. I do know that there are many success cancer stories out there, and that is what you should surround yourself with. Norb Portner is a success story, and I know you know him!

Dear Jenna & family, So sorry for the tough news today but glad to hear you are already feeling the fighting spirit! My 37 yr old brother-in-law also has an inoperable cancerous tumor and has been on an experimental protocol at Mayo for 2 years, he continues to feel good and is doing well and planning to be around for many years to come! He had a difficult time with a similar consult but refuses to let the cancer win. My prayers are that you will make your choices and go to battle, may God bless you every step of the way and know everyone who knows you or has ever heard of you is cheering you on! Strength to you.

Hi Jenna,
Wondering how things went today. I know all the information given and choices to be made can be overwhelming. Deep Breath. The good thing is you are not alone in your search for the best option to take. Search it out, gather all the information possible, talk it out, pray about it, listen to some of your gut feelings, ask lots of questions and know many others are here in the wings praying for you too. Remember strength comes from the Love of family & friends, a gift from Our Father. HUGS,

I am glad to hear that you were able to come home for a couple of days. Actually, Jenna I saw you and a couple of your friends at Target on Sat. You were getting yourself around with the motorized cart (or whatever you call it) looking for photo albums. I knew you didn't know who I was but it was great to see you out and about, laughing and having a good time. I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers especially during your upcoming surgery. Stay strong and Lisa, continue to take care of yourself as well.

Good afternoon ladies and gents - I hope that this weekend finds you safe and sound. I am glad to hear that you were able to make it home on Saturday afternoon. I went to a movie yesterday evening with Carter, Johanna and Johanna's mom. We went to see Peter Pan, which was an excellent movie. It was the non-animated version. The kid who played Peter Pan looked just like Jack, only with blonde hair. I am not kidding, Jack could be this kid's stand in. Interesting...Alysha and Jake (Johanna's brother) stayed at home with a babysitter. They had a great time. Well, just wanted to let you know about the boy who looks like Jack. We are always praying for you and hope the consultation on Monday goes well. Call if you need anything,

I'll bet Kirby would be thrilled with another roudy game of spoons! The girls were GREAT last night at the JF performance! Spunky and a bit sassy, ready to take on anyone at Kasson-Mantorville today.

Jenna & Lisa - well, it is Friday night and we just finished supper. It was a late supper, consisting of ramen noodles :), cottage cheese, fruit cocktail and lettuce salad. Not a great combination, but a little of all the food groups. We'll save the sweets for another time. I am feeling a bit heavy hearted tonight, concerned that Jenna will be ready for surgery. But, with all the prayers, best wishes and wonderful doctors, I am sure Jenna will be feeling up to par and ready for surgery when the docs are. Carter and Alysha went to the dentist yesterday morning. It was Alysha's first time - she was so excited to go until she got there. Her bottom lip was quivering and she was very scared. Carter was a great helper and found her a Barbie sticker. She cried but was able to get a chocolate flavored floride treatment and have the dentist count her teeth and make sure there were no cavities. On the way back to Nicollet she was very proud of herself and talked about her "chocolate milk". She continues to talk very well and now refers to herself as Alyshus. She still calls Carter Carcar. Carter starts gynmastics next Tuesday and I start teaching class again on Monday night. Well, enough babbling. It is time for a restful bubble bath for the children. Actually, restful is not the best choice of word to describe bath time. I hope that a smile finds your way tonight. As always, sending hope, hugs, health and faith.

Hello ladies - just checking in to see how things are going. I really hope that you are able to come home for a couple of days, nothing beats sleeping in your own bed!

Lisa, I hope you're taking care of yourself as well, we all miss you here and continue to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Well, little ladies - this has again been quite the long stay at Spa Mayo. I know that the docs and nurses are working double time to get you back to feeling like "Jenna" again. Teresa and I are anxiously awaiting the news of ability of going to Kasson-Mantorville DL competition. So, hang in there and remember that many, many, many prayers are being said in your honor. Gotta run, lots of work needs to be done today. Miss you...

I AM SURE IT WAS A TURF ISSUE...ANYWAY DO YOU REMEMBER ME TELLING YOU ABOUT GETTING A SPRAY TAN LAST MONTH FOR A WEDDING? WELL, MY BROTHER HAD HIS PHYSICAL THIS WEEK AND HIS DOCTOR THINKS HE HAS TOE FUNGUS AND HE REALLY JUST HAS "SPRAY TAN" CUZ HE WAS THE ONE THAT FORGOT TO WIPE HIS TOES OFF.

And with a dance update, I think the changes in high kick will work nice. Thank you very much for helping with that! Let's see if we can bring home 2 - first place tropheys for you this weekend! Keep resting and doing what those doctors tell you to do and hopefully you'll be home soon. Praying for you always!

Hi Jenna
Sounds like you had a nasty bug growing there.Hope they got it pegged and hitting it with the right meds. It is a pain to put up with the q 4-IVPB.Usually in 2-3 days you see a turn around and then it is important to follow it thru the 10 days. sometimes 14 but YOU can do it!!Stick to the Basics. Take Care of Jenna. REST, FLUIDS, FAMILY, EAT A LITTLE SOMETHING, EVEN A TREAT, SMILE,PRAY, WATCH SOME COMEDY MOVIES, CHAT WITH A FRIEND, WRITE IN YOUR JOURNAL,HUG YOUR FAMILY, LET THEM DO FOR YOU, DO YOUR NAILS, READ A NEW MAGAZINE , LISTEN TO A RAINFOREST TAPE OR OCEAN SOUNDS, WHATEVER it takes..Praying for you to feel better..Good Night

Sorry to hear you didn't get much time at home but it sounds like everything is going like the doctors expect so that is good. Danceline went pretty well. We got a digital camera for Christmas and I am trying to figure out how to use it. Maybe if my kids help me I can try to send a copy...I don't know how on my own. I got a picture when all the HK team is down doing the splits and only a few of the JF turned out. You continue to be in my prayers daily. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. Hope this stay goes well.

Dear Lisa and Jenna,
It was so good to see you both last night and what a bummer that you are back at Francis. But they will take good care of you and send you back home ASAP.
Today was an interesting DL event. HK took 1st place and JF placed 4th. But I suppose you already heard that news.
The wigs are great, a little wild and unruly and some of us mom's think that the red lipstick needs to be redder. What do you think, Jenna?
Since I didn't "get to" do laundry this AM, I'm doing it now and better get back to it.
Hugs, hugs and more hugs

Hi guys - an ambulance ride, huh? I was in an ambulance once and it wasn't fun. Alysha is sitting on my lap, looking for Jenna. I will show her the pictures when we are done saying "hi". Alysha and I are at a loss for words right now. We are feeling like we want to come to St Mary's and give you hugs and tell you this will be alright. But, we have germs, so we will stay in Nicollet. Carter and I were getting groceries today and when we were almost done he said, "I have an ear infection in my right ear". After the groceries were bagged and in the car, we headed to urgent care. Sure enough, he has an infection in his right ear - a side effect from the cold he has. So our trip to Mankato lasted about 2 hours longer than expected.
When we were in the car he said he couldn't hear very good because of his "damn ear". Such language from a 5 year old. Alysha will hopefully be starting Just for Kicks dance this summer. Jenna, maybe you can be her private coach?!? Well, it is bath time. As Alysha is sitting on my lap, I can tell that she still has a bit of supper in her hair...Miss you!!!! Sending hugs, hope, and health

Sartell, MN - Friday, January 2, 2004 1:37 AM CST

It's been a few days since I've said hello, so "hello". Jenna - you have got to stop passing out when you get this kind of chemo!!! :) Not only do you scare your mom when that happens, but it is scary to read in your website. Alysha looked at the new pictures and she always blows you kisses. She says "Jenna" quite well and she hasn't forgotten who you are. I have had a few days this holiday break where I have searched for day care for Carter and Alysha. Carter asked if you or Jack could babysit, but the kids have been sick with "the cold" and I didn't want to spread any new germs to you. But, we managed to work things out. I gave Alysha a haircut tonight. We are trying to get her bangs grown out and even with the rest of her hair. No mullet for Alysha. We got all of our Christmas decorations down today and we rearranged the living room - a new look for the new year. Well kiddo - I know that surgery is the next task at hand (amongst various tests - and one that looks for cats?!?). We pray every day that the surgery is a success and your recovery is quick. Please keep yourself hydrated and rested so you are in tip top shape for the surgery. You work on keeping you healthy and I will work on getting your mom several hearty meals, instead of hospital food and tiny salads. Deal? Well, it's time to pay bills.....

Dear Jenna,
I have not seen you since you were very little and you probably do not even know who I am so I will introduce myself. My late husband was Larry Lockner, your dad's first cousin. I know Dick and June very well and have always enjoyed them. Dick's sister is Marion Lockner, who lives in Faribault. I talk to her at least once a week and just the other day, she mentioned how much she was praying for you. I knew nothing and she felt absolutely terrible that she had not informed me. Then yesterday at Mass I saw a women I teach with and knowing that she and her husband both grew up in New Ulm and still have families there, I mentioned you. She knew a lot about you and informed me of your web site. I do not know her maiden name, but their names are Beth and Dan Filzen. If I am correct, her niece is a friend of yours. I'll check this and find out for certain.

I also want you to know that Dick and June asked Larry and me to be guardians to your dad, Anne, and Susan when they were around upper elementary or junior high age. We were 28 years old and had just found out that I was pregnant with our daughter. It did not take long to say "Yes," but thank heavens we never had to take on such a responsiblity. I am so thankful that they were able to raise their three children, see all of you grandchildren, etc. It was such a honor that they put such faith in us to raise their children when we had no idea how to raise even one child!!!

One more thing you must know is that Larry and I attended your mom and dad's wedding in New Ulm and had so much fun. It was actually the first time we had ever seen the "Chicken Dance!!"

Before I close, please let your family know that I live in Owatonna and if any of you ever need a place to stay in case of bad weather or for any other reason, do not hesitate to call. In fact, now that I have moved into a town home, I am right off Highway 14 so it would be very convenient for you. My number is 507.455-0130. I teach in two schools so if you need to call me during the day, the numbers are 444.8307 and 444.8407. These numbers will get you directly to the media centers, and the educational assistants can tell you where I am. My cell phone is usually not on, so I won't bother to give it to you!!

I have printed your pictures and the history so that when I visit Marion, I will share these with her. You are absolutely beautiful as well as everyone else in the pictures. Jenna, you are not only in my prayers, but also, my children's, who think the world of your grandparents. In fact, your entire family will be in our prayers. All of you are very special to me.

I will be getting a new e-mail account at home, and I will keep in touch that way rather than through my school account.

Love, Joanne

Dear Jenna
Rest all you can. Sounds like your body needs it. Just get the fluids in to flush the chemo out.Try a popsicle or a juice bar if you can. I know sometimes the mouth sores make that hard but hang in there. Glad you will be home to celebrate bringing in the NEW YEAR 2004 with family & friends.Wishing you choice blessings this coming year!

I am so glad to hear that you will be home tomorrow. Sounds like this was a "quick trip" this time - just the way it should be! Jenna, hopefully you will be able to enjoy your next few days at home before having to go back to school and Lisa, we always look forward to having you at work. Have a safe trip home tomorrow and hope to see you soon.

Hi Jenna,
Great news to hear you were able to spend Christmas with your family AND AT HOME! Wish you the best in the last chemo round, hope you feel good. I work with your Aunt(Great?)Kathy Helget,Grandma Evie & your Mom. Pretty quiet at Heartland Express this week, kinda nice for a change. Grandma Evie dropped off some awesome muffins last week. Sure appreciated, but I bet they've got more important things to do! Just wanted to tell that even your quiet fans are still cheering loudly for you!! You and your family are in our thoughts & prayers constantly. I looked at the new pictures and your smile just lights up everything in the picture! I wish you all only the best in the coming New Year!!!

Sure loved spending some time with you at our house Christmas Eve Day!

Since we finally took some, got to post some of the Langer Christmas celebration pictures. For anyone out there who had Jenna celebrate Christmas at their house (and who didn't), please feel free to send me pictures and I'll be happy to get them posted.

Hi Mayo people,
A little update from the workplace today...shhhh...it is SO quiet...I believe many people have decided to bag it today. Now about that wineglass on Christmas. I think Cate may need some help. Think of it - she broke that glass during a discussion, she delivered several presents to the wrong house (and she took one back after it was opened), she didn't bring mashed potatoes...could be a cry for help. Anyway Dann survived another Chrismas and is safely back in NYC (although he is sick) and Emily is off to Oregon safely tucked in with her brand new Kitty blankie from Jenna :). Hope I can pick up the Christmas wrestling pictures soon! Hope to see you later! The snow is really coming down here now!
Love,

"When you are crossing the street, people in cars are making jokes about getting points for running you down."

Dr. Oswald T. Pratt

Good morning girls - I again felt it was time for another reading from "You Are Worthless". (I remember being in a car offering the driver 10 points for running a person down :) I hope that all is well at Spa Mayo. Did you get the room with the jacuzzi? I know this round of chemo is the yucky one - so I am praying that you are getting lots of sleep and little nausea. I did not go outside at all yesterday. JoEllen and Sophie came over to review class materials for SW190 at MSU-M. Alysha is feeling better but now Carter has "the cold". There isn't much else to tell you. It is very quiet here at BCFS today. I hope to see you soon. Miss you,

Hey Jenna, hope you are getting some good sleep, a girl needs to rest after all that Christmas cheer. It's also probably a good thing to sleep through that Viking fiasco...much less painful. Talked to Grandma yesterday, and she asked so I had to admit that I was the one who broke the wine glass at her house on Christmas evening during a heated discussion over Minnesota politics. Oh well...thinking about you. Talk soon.

Goodmorning Lisa and Jenna, Well it's a quiet am at the Johnson house without hardly a creature stirring. Babs of course is still sleeping in--no dl today! Frankie had optional basketball which of course he went to and I have never ending laundry.
I was surprised to see you girls at the office so bright and early yesterday and sorry I could not help you out, but it looks like you were able to get it handled just fine. So, how is chemo going this round? Remember eat amd drink lots! Hugs, Teresa

Well hello there everyone! Lisa, Jenna and Jack - we hope you had a wonderful Christmas. We had a good Christmas. Carter was very funny about some of his comments about Santa Clause. Alysha has been sick since Monday and she is just a little crab! I ended up bringing her to the ER on Christmas morning because of her hacking cough and low grade fever. Her ears and lungs were clear and the doc diagnosed her as having an upper respiratory infection, aka, a cold. She was the last one at day care to get it - I was hoping we would get lucky and avoid the bugs, but they found her anyway. On Christmas eve Barry started our second fire of the season in the fireplace. Unfortunately, the wind was blowing just the wrong way and all the smoke did not go up the chimney - it went into the family room and upstairs. That was quite the event. Carter kept saying "I can't believe this is happening on Christmas eve". He was able to leave his reindeer food outside, but he forgot to leave Santa cookies and milk. Alysha didn't want to open her gifts. I did a little after Christmas shopping today - I got new lights for our tree for next year. Two of our nephews are at our house for the weekend. We are going to go ice skating tomorrow night at the NU Civic Center. Well, enough babbling. I hope that this round of chemo goes well and you are able to be home soon. Miss you bunches. Hugs,

Alysha is here sitting on my lap singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". She is quite the talented little lady! Carter and Barry playing a Harry Potter game on the PS2. We have a fire going in the fire place - the first one this winter. And we are almost out of firewood. We will have to search for more. Well, I had a wonderful time at Spa Mayo on Saturday, even though I didn't get a chance to try out the exercise bike. I bet next time they will give you a room with a jacuzzi! Gotta run, Alysha wants to play a computer game. Miss you. And Lisa and Jenna - whatever you do, don't eat the baked potato soup - it's gross. :)

Hi guys - well, I just got back to the office after having a staffing in Worthington. Lisa - I decided it was time again to give you a few words of wisdom from the wonderful Dr. Oswald T. Pratt, author of "You are Worthless".

"What is that horrible smell? Oh geez, it's the dog..." For those of you who have not had to experience to read some of Dr. Pratt's work, you should. (But you need to have a good sense of humor). Lisa - this should be funny, especially when you think of "poor hygiene".

Well, I better go. I have many, many, many, many tasks that need to be completed. Miss you. :)

Oh and I have to tell you that I got a Hello Kitty bath set from one of my friends...just adorable. The only thing is...it's a bath set and it came with chapstick...very interesting....hmm..yah I was really confused. But anyway...hope all goes well and you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Don't party too hard!

Hi Jenna and Co.,
So Jenna, you really trained your dad well in the web update job. He's writing 'em like a pro. Let's hope that the chemo does its job quickly this time so you can get home for Christmas. Actually we are all working right along with you to get our Christmas illnesses out of the way: poor Abby is dealing with her mono/flu/finals, Emily and I are on Day 3 of a stomach illness with chemo-like side effects (use your imagination) and I heard from another source that Tony & Laurie were also visited by the stomach flu fairy. SO that means everyone (including Jenna) will be HEALTHY by Christmas, although incredibly unprepared...Yikes. Take care everyone!

Hi Jenna, Glad to hear you are safe in Rochester! Sounds like you had an eventful first day back with food and presents, WOW!

Good luck this time around, praying for you always.

Thanks for the update Kurt. I am so thankful for this website and for the time that everyone takes to update the journal pages, to leave messages for Jenna and her family. I'm thankful for Ann who set this site up in the first place and for Sue who does the photo piece. The people at Caringbridge are angels on earth.
The Macho house feels like a chaotic place, Tim is finishing some remodeling work on some replacement windows (we all know what that means), there's a new job for Cate,(old job continues), Liza is moving home and getting ready to start SCSU in January, Abby's recovering from mono and the flu (we think) but getting better and trying to finish up final papers for her classes and we do the best we can to keep up with Andrew and Cliff.
I miss spending time with you, hope things slow down and we can spend some time together over the holidays.
We have had to change our tree decorating techniques; there can be nothing on the bottom 1/4 of the tree as Cliff's tail wagging sends anything at the level or below flying. Makes for an interesting looking tree. Bless you....talk soon. GO DANCELINE!!!!

Hello Jenna! It was wonderful to see you at the competition at GFW this past weekend. It really helped the girls to have you there with them, cheering them on all the way!! They missed out on dancing tonight because of this crazy weather but they will be able to dance again on Friday. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Keep on smiling and resting when you can. Have a wonderful holiday season -- you have lots of people thinking of you and praying for your quick recovery. Take care.

Well guys - tomorrow its time to head back to the "home away from home" or as I have heard you refer to it as "Spa Mayo". Even though you are 2 1/2 hours away from New Ulm, out of sight DOES NOT mean out of mind. You are truely in everyone's thoughts and prayers more than you can ever imagine. So many people want to help make this better for you - because you are wonderful people. So if you start feeling sad, lonely, angry, etc. use that nice cell phone you have and call a friend or two (or three or four). Sending hope, hugs and smiles.

Congratulations to you and all the girls! Good job! I will call you soon and I expect a complete rundown! I mean uniforms, music, interesting moments, the whole deal. Emily has to pick a science research paper - her current choices are...cancer, or....hummingbirds. I told her you would probably pick hummingbirds. Now go watch It's a Wonderful Life. Wish I could watch it with you -

Dear Jenna~
I have heard about you, through one of the memembers from my camp. I visited this website, and read on a bit, and found out more about you. You have been, and will be in my prayers throughout this time. I wanted to show you a poem, that I am sure you have already read. I think that this poem will help you through your most hardest times. It is reasuring that GOD is always there with you, and guiding you each step of the way. And when it seems like nothing is going to look up, GOD is there, like always giving you his right hand, and making sure everything is alright.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: One belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happpend at the ver lowet and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him, and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one sest of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me"

The Lord replied "My son, My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

- - I hope that in time of need, you will look back on this poem, and regain faith. For GOD is with you, and will always be with you.

God Bless,
Laura

Hi Jenna,
I've been checking your website daily and am One of your many followers who are thinking and praying for you always. Last night I was talking with a lady who I use to work with when she informed me that her college age daughter also found out that she has cancer (Hodgkins). I had told her about your strength and determination to get through your ordeal and all the ups and downs you were encountering. She said the hardest part for her daughter was when she lost all her hair and then all the mouth sores she was experiencing. Well another friend had told her to suck on ice chips as she was getting her chemo. Well she tried this and it seemed to help her tremendously! She said she still gets them a little but not near as bad as she used to. Sooooooooo.... if you would like to give it a try, I thought it couldn't hurt. And any thing to hopefully help you out would be just great I thought. It worked for her, so maybe you just may get lucky also. Hang in there, Jenna! There may be more bumps in the road ahead but with your determination, this too shall pass. Take Care!!

Well, hello my dearest twin! I think you need to come home pretty soon because we need to hang out again this weekend maybe...? Yah, well if it makes you feel any better I got the wonderful opportunity to be sick on our snow day too but I'm all better now. And this is kind of a random comment but I love the Hello Kitty pillow in the picture. I thought of purchasing that for myself but then I realized that I don't have that kind of money right now. Anyway, take it easy and hopefully you can come home soon. Remember- you're hott! I love you!

Hi guys - If I ever get the chance to go out to LA again, I am bringing the two of you with me and we are going to be contestants on The Price is Right!!! And gosh darnit, we are going to win big - since I would have the pros with me. :) Hope that you are able to come home today. Jenna - you ought to try ramen noodles - they are one of Alysha's all time favorite foods as they are quite fun to eat as they are so long and curly. I know that you are not supposed to play with your food, but it sometimes makes meal time more fun. Sometimes we play "Fear Factor" at supper time and noodles can be long worms. (I cannot believe I just admitted that). Anyway - smile, smile, smile!!! Lisa - get ready to party on Saturday. And don't forget to bring a white elephant gift.

Hey hun, just letting you know that I'm thinking about you (in micro class.. with Mrs. Brennan!)! I am pleased to announce that the fax of the jazz/funk choreography sheets came through to good old Gislason & Hunter. I was walking down the hall (carrying my big copy project) when suddenly I got a page to come to the front desk. The front desk lady was saying something about a really bizarre fax coming through to a certain "Mr. Glawe".. I enjoyed the "Please give to Crysten's Dad, Mr. Glawe".. I thought he was always 'Reed Glaweh'.. but I should go.. bell is going to ring soon! Love you tons, and I hope to see you very very soon.. maybe at GFW? Or (fingers crossed) tonight at our performance! Just keep swimming..

Anyway, glad to hear it is going well this time and hopefully it will continue that! Good luck with coming home over the weekend! Sorry, there is no snow in St. Cloud. It missed us totally! Anyway, hope to see you this weekend! Good luck Sonics! I won't be able to cheer for you on Saturday out loud but know inside I'm cheering and hoping you win! Haha! Sorry but its the ethics of being a judge. No hard feelings! But maybe I can pick up on some hints for ya to maybe help you out a bit. Just don't let the other judges know about this! Hah! I would love to come to a practice or two while I am home for Xmas break so you should let me know when they are! Ok, have a good week!

Hi Lisa - the Christmas party is taken care of...you are going to be my date. Barry will be snowmobiling. Now, on to finding day care...Carter has joined wrestling in school. I tried to talk him out of it with no such luck. I am going to have to hook him up with John Rieser, who is an avid wrestler. Our new kitchen counter tops will be installed this week. We will save the new floor for after the holidays. I have been asked to host a Mary Kay party in January. You and Jenna (depending on hospital stuff) will have to come and check out the new and improved kitchen. I am guessing it will be the end of Jan. Anyway, I am babbling. I have work to be done. I think I got the KK thing worked out. See you soon and Jenna, talk nice to those doctors to make sure you can be home for the weekend!! Oh yeah, I have one more delimma - Barry's cousin (and an old neighbor of mine growning up) is getting married in Colorado in July. So yet another reason to go to Colorado, but that isn't until July....I am procrastinating planning this trip...

Hi Jenna, we missed you on Saturday. Sorry we couldn't bring home the big trophey. We'll get 'em next weekend, I think the first time performance jitters came out.

Hi guys - YES! YES! YES! I knew that tumor had to be getting smaller. I am so glad that you guys have FINALLY gotten some good news. I know it is not a for sure thing until the surgery, but, WAY TO GO JENNA! I hope this hospital stay has some smiling faces! We have also had an uneventful weekend - I took Carter, Alysha and Johanna swimming at Lake Crystal yesterday and then finished up my Christmas shopping and got groceries this morning. Barry and Carter are out pheasant hunting. It is Carter's first time that Barry allowed him to go with. It would really be a treat if they got a pheasant. Alysha is taking a nap. We are going to make Christmas cookies in a little while. No more updates on the knowledge of Michael Jackson...

Hi Jenna,
Have been thinking about you so much and wanted to send you a note and let you know.
I am going to Houston tomorrow as my daughter, Carrie is having surgery on her foot. I'll be there for a month.
While I am there I hope to get to the library so I can send you another e-mail.
Not a day goes by that you aren't in my thoughts and prayers. Also my thoughts are with your family and tell your Dad and Cindy "Hi" from me.
Love to you,

Langers:

Glad to hear that this hospital stay seems to be fairly uneventful, you are due. Sounds like that nasty tumor is starting to retreat....it finally knows who it's dealing with.

Abby is home reclining on the couch to get a few days of high quality sleep and rest to beat mono and we thought of you twice last night as we channel surfed. An episode of COPS revealed the most well trimmed, brightest red-head mullet worn by a woman that we've seen in a long time. Seems the wearer was the instigator of a domestic abuse situation, somewhere where thick Southern accents are the norm. Let you imagination take you further.
AND....about that episode of Trading Spaces with the feathers. (We're worried about the homeowner's cats and the feathers....) Anyway, Abby seems to think that there is something going on between Amy Wynn (the carpenter) and the new designer and it's not all redecorating...if you know what we mean. Take care and remember to relax and take care of yourself.

Hi ladies -
Hope your clinic appointment today went well. Jenna, I was quite disappointed to hear that you don't have the groovy steering wheel cover that you used to have. It would really enhance your mom's Escort driving experience. What a good old car, it's been a loyal family servant and it comes through once again. Here's to a short, uneventful & effective visit! Stay hydrated!

Hi Jenna,
So glad to hear you had a Great Thanksgiving and were able to come back "HOME" and even to get to the game this week.How does Kirby greet you after being gone awhile? I know how it is around here with Chester and PHIL. To let you know that while Chester and MIke were pheasant hunting in ND, Chester and Phil encountered a huge porcupine and Chester got the brunt of the quills all over his face. It was an expen$ive ordeal at the VET on Thanksgiving Day. Just like "Homeward Bound". Thanks to everyone for all the updates. You have a great family and thousands of friends. YOU are in My prayers all the time. Love, Kathy

Hi guys - Lisa, it was nice to spend some "non-work" time with you today. I asked Carter if they talked about Michael Jackson today in school and he responded "we don't talk about him in school, we talk about him outside during recess". So, I am getting a little more info, I'll keep inquiring about the information he knows. We may be planning on a visit on Sunday, I'll have to talk to TBJ about it. We will miss you tomorrow at Bauman's food and stuff. Have a safe ride to Rochester.

Dear Jenna,
Your dad is my dear friend and, in case you didn't know, you've got a wonderful dad. I wanted to let you know that your courage, strength and determination have been an inspiration to him and have changed him. Also know that a complete stranger, namely myself, has also been changed by knowing you through your dad. Now if you can only get your dad to stop letting in so many goals (we play broomball together)! Stay strong, Jenna, you will beat this!

Minneapolis, - Wednesday, December 3, 2003 9:18 AM CST

Hi Jenna,
I just sat here and read through your entire guestbook and all of the diary entries. What you are going through has just made me realize that all of the things I thought were important or crappy in my own life do not compare to what you have to go through right now. I feel that you have a lot of people who Love you and who are pulling for you and who are sending their prayers and good thoughts and positive energy etc. etc. This is good and fantastic. I could try to send you some witty phrases like: 'This Too Shall Pass' and 'Times like this should be considered a Dream' etc. etc. but right now they sound meaningless compared to what I feel in my heart. And I only know you because I know your Dad. I can't imagine the intense feelings your Dad and Mom, brother and all of the close people around you feel. I can imagine it is like a Love that stretches far beyond the Universe - into Infinity. A call that in their Hearts that would trade everything in the world - EVERYTHING - just so you wouldn't have to go through what you are going through right now. I feel for you and everyone around you and something deep inside of me tells me that you are going to be okay. Those brilliant surgeons and doctors are going to remove this very painful nuisance on your life and you will pop back into the regular flow of things again. Even though I don't know you - my Heart goes out to you and everyone around you. So let's get this crap out of you and free up some time so you can come to the Southwest sometime. And when you get down here - you can call on your Dad's friends to take you up to Santa Fe or Taos NM - where we can grab a Starbucks in town and drive up to the top of a mountain, breathe the clean air, and be glad that this is behind you. I know in our Heart of Hearts that we all must face trying times like this in life - it is unavoidable. But someone your age - with everything to look forward too - it's just way too early to have to go through something like this. It's just not right. And it's times like this where I know everyone is drawing upon these very powerful things: Love, Hope, Prayer, Good Thoughts, etc. etc. - and these things are very powerfull - for you. This is good. I am looking forward to the diary entry on your website next week that reads: "they've taken care of things and I'm heading back to normal." When I read this I am cracking open a Corona (Mexican Beer) and I am toasting to you and everyone around you and I'll be saving that Starbucks for when I can give it to you in person! Best of luck - please keep your website updated because I will be checking on it and praying as well.

Dear Lisa & Jenna
So sorry about your fender bender. I did that Monday the 24th on my way home from work. bumper to bumper with a few cars. NO FUN! I think our minds are too busy with details and worries we become inattentive and in that split few seconds havoc reins. Oh well! Thank goodness no one was hurt. Cars can be repaired or replaced.Glad Jenna is home. Take Care Watch those germs at school. I have been seeing lots of sickies in the school clinic. Take Care....

Aloha 'Jumpin Jennifer! I was stunned by your mother's e-mail this morning informing me of your battle with cancer. Long before you became ill, but very shortly after I met you, I realized what a talented, intelligent, witty, insightful, beautiful young woman you were. But reading the journal entries and guestbook comments on your website helped me understand the profound limitations of my assessment and appreciation. I have taught and counseled thousands of students over the years, but I cannot remember being so moved as a I was by your words and those written about you. Talk about crockodile tears! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for inspiring me to be a better father and a more loving human being. Please forward a big hug to your favorite brother; your hot little mother; and of course my old pal Kirby from P.M.S. I do believe in miracles and I do believe in you! God bless Jenna Langer! OOOO!!!

Lisa - how do we get you out of the "bad luck" rut that you have been in? I told you about my grandma in Colorado praying for you - well, she is a true Irish woman - maybe she can pass on some of the "Luck of the Irish". Or maybe if Harry Potter was a real person (as Carter likes to believe) he could use his wand to make your troubles go away. Carter tells me that talking to yourself helps (maybe you shouldn't be answering yourself though). And Alysha likes to pretend to be a kitty when people are telling her things she doesn't want to hear. Well, these are just some thoughts and ideas. Like all the other people say on this website, people are really praying for you. So, don't give up, don't get down in the dumps, and for heaven's sake, don't lose your faith. Once again, sending hugs, prayers and happiness.....

Hello to you all! So glad you're home and I'm not surprised that Jenna negotiated another several days at home. You know I'd really think they need to do a scientific study on the health benefits of homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, foosball and wheelchair football. It was a great Thanksgiving for the Macho family, truly what the holiday is all about.
Hope you get some much needed rest and relaxation, I know it's hard to take it easy, Jenna, but save some energy for the rest of the week. Also hope you get some X-mas decorating done and cookie baking done if the mood strikes you...would be glad to help...just call. Gotta go...sounds like a lot of noise from the living room and it's not good (we are in the first few minutes of the Vikings game). Love you all....always in our thoughts.

Sounds like you had a nice Thanksgiving even in the Hospital.Hope you got some pics. Enjoy this week at home. Restup some. You need the edge for your continued treatments. Think of it as any competition those prepared do better. Look at Lance Armstrong the cyclist..It has a lot to do with mental and spiritual prep too. Take care...

It's not a good idea though, cuz without danceline I just keep the weight on, I don't have any activity like danceline to keep the weight off! That's college I guess :) hehe But I am so glad to hear that you are at home! Well I guess that is all for right now! Stay well and enjoy your time at home! Luv ya hun! ~Kacie Jo B-bachs~

Hi everybody, a quick note to report on yesterday - which was lots of fun. I will let Jenna report on how things are today - hopefully she didn't overdo it and the fevers continue to subside! - but from my perspective everybody left feeling good. The staff let us use their report room (complete with microscope) to set a table for dinner, and then we basically took over the Teen Lounge as a living room for the afternoon. Jenna was disconnected from her IVs most of the day and had a new holiday black velvet hat and skirt (ask Lisa/Cate about that skirt tag) to go with her latest slippers and blankie set. She played games and hung out with relatives all afternoon, right up until that very last foosball game. And yes, the smile muscles are working just fine! The staff was extremely tolerant of wheelchair football, noise, a few supplemental adults-only beverages, & IV pole decorating which was very very helpful for everyone's mental health...so thankful to have everyone together instead of burning up the phone lines.

Dear Jenna, Lisa, Jack and Kurt,
You and your family are in our hearts. We are hoping and praying that you are feeling better very soon.
Jenna, the National Honor Society had a very good day on Tuesday with the blood drive. We missed you, but in our hearts we knew that what we were doing really had a purpose.
Out of the more than 100 people who signed up to give blood we made our goal with about 88 units. All of those who were turned away for some reason or another were disappointed. We are thankful to have a wonderful community.
We are now going to wake up Santa in the "former Maurices" room. Lots of little children are arriving and the Sonics are going to sing.
We want you to feel good now!
Happy thoughts and many, many prayers!

Jenna, Kurt, Jack, Lisa and everyone else...
We're gonna miss you today. Hope all the visitors make it a Turkey Day to remember. Let me know what Langer leftovers you might be craving, cause believe it or not, I stay away from shopping on the busiest shopping day of the year and a road trip may be just the ticket. Love you lots...know that you are in my thoughts all day today and everyday. Hugs and Kisses!

Hi guys - just a quick note. Teresa and I dropped off a few things at Grandma Evie's this afternoon. Kirby was there - and looking better than ever!! :) Grandpa Kurt did share a story about Kirby eating a stick of butter...way to go Kirby!!:) I know that being in the hospital just plain sucks, there is no better way to put it. We are praying that the docs can spring you for Thanksgiving. As always, sending prayers and big hugs.

Hi Jenna......I have no doubt that it is frustating for you to be stuck in the hospital. Hang in there and think to the future. A year from now all of this will be in the past and you'll be looking back and thinking "I'm a survivor!" Keep that chin up and remember to draw your strength from your faith in God.

Hi Jenna: We are sorry you haven't made it out of the hospital yet. Hopefully, you are feeling better and today or tomorrow will be "the" day. Im sure the staff know your name pretty well by now and are as anxious as you,and the rest of us, to get this frustated girl home for Thanksgiving. We are all wishing you well Jenna and hope to see you for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Then we will have a special reason to be truly thankful. We all love you Jenna, and we are thinking of you and praying for you to get home soon.

Well hello my twin!!! It's so wonderful to read all your journal entries. You are the most awesome girl I have ever met! I love you so much! And you are my twin so that is even better! I really hope that you can come home soon because Sadie and I talked about hopefully coming and seeing you sometime this weekend. We need to do all the fun things that girls like us do...run around and be stupid! (Maybe we will see that man driving the awesome bike again and have to run after him and sit on the bike!) Sleepy Eye is still exciting as always and I really hate driving in this snow...and my car (Bonnie) doesn't take too well to the snow. But hopefully you can come home and we can hang out this weekend so we will have to call you soon! Don't cause too much trouble in the hospital now!

Hi Jenna, Lisa, and Family,
I have been keeping up with your progress on the web page and continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I can not imagine going through everything that you have been through. You have a wonderful support system and family that helps keep you strong but your positive attitude does so much, keep it up. I imagine it is difficult to stay positive and strong when you dont hear good news but it is uplifting to know that you always look at the positive side of the situation. I hope that things turn around for you so that you can go home and spend the holiday seasons with your family and friends, where you belong. I will also continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take Care

Hi guys - well, it is almost 11pm. We were over in Janesville visiting relatives today. We took Carter bowling - he was funny to watch. I did horribly - I got a 106 in my first game and an 80 on my second game. Oh well, it was fun. I think the roads were very icy on the way home - I am not sure since I didn't want to use the brakes much and find out. I hope that if you are able to come home tomorrow, you have a good driver!! I am hearing we are going to get lots of snow. Well, I have class papers to grade. Take care and you know, I think Ann is right. That chemo must really be doing the trick.

Hi there Lisa, Jenna, Jack and whoever else is there now,
I think you need a recording of Elvis singing "Please Release Me" to play for the staff there. If on your furlough this afternoon you go to the Starbucks near Mayo, I recommend you try gingerbread lattes...they make me feel so cosy and I think they probably have curative powers. Hope you're feeling strong soon. If this chemo takes your blood cells down this far let's assume it's doing the same thing to those misguided cancer cells.
Love,

Hi everyone

Just a New Ulm update...it is snowing and when I went to the grocery store it took over 15 minutes to get the the checkout! I have never seen lines like that here. Guess everyone is worried about not having food for the BIG storm! I hope we get snow, it really helps clean things up. Praying hard for your speedy recovery. Glad to hear you are feeling better.

Sounds like quite a scare. If it's two steps forward and one step back, you are still moving forward--but I'm talking to a danceline choreographer here, right. Keep up the fight and we'll keep up the prayers-stopped by church to ask for a little extra help for you today. Love you both.

Hey Jenerator (as Emily would say): Had a few minutes to send a message...just finished convincing Andrew that spelling is not a subject with multiple correct answers. There really is only one right answer--he got stuck on "sincerely" and gave me four different options to choose from for the correct answer....

Glad you're feeling okay, I'm thinking strong good thoughts that you're out of there on Saturday, heck even Saturday evening would be great. By the way, great photos, my compliments to your photo editor!

Hi guys - I've been thinking about you a lot today. I hope the docs get the drug cocktail perfect, so you are not too sleepy and that your tummy isn't too upset. We will look to see you home in about 4 days. We have a case of the stomach flu at our house. It seems that now Carter is in kindergarten and Alysha is still in day care, we catch all of those nasty bugs out there. Stay strong.

Hi Jenna, St. Paul Aunt Ann here - Just wanted to let you know that I've been reading as much as I can on this and I bet your doctors are gonna come up with a Plan B (and C & D if necessary) that will send this cancer packing. Not that it will be easy, we already know that, but you are one determined girl with an awesome attitude and tons of support and that makes a difference. Count the Mayo doctors and all these great people praying for you and we have all the bases covered. I know this is the icky chemo, but just stick it out for four days and then (if I'm reading the plan right) you get a break for a couple of weeks...home long enough to mess up your room, maybe bake some cookies and of course whip that danceline into shape, no slacking allowed. See you soon hon -
PS - Did you see the entry from a few days ago from Beth Tolaas? Her brother was a wonderful man and if she has him looking out for you, you are blessed with a good friend in a very high place indeed. Ask your mom. Or me.

St. Paul, MN - Tuesday, November 11, 2003 11:18 PM CST

hey mi chicka' it's your old boss again. how's it going? i heard things aren't going as smoothly as everyone had hoped. cancer is a nasty enemy, and takes you down bad roads but but God and Spirit find the way. in the past when i've been down bad roads it sometimes helped me to imagine that i was being held in His arms literally and that He was holding me safe and away from all the bad things. life just goes on and there are big hills in our lives that we have to climb, and sometimes there are people that are asked to climb worse ones than others, and they are the ones who teach the rest of us how to do it with grace and strength. from what i know of you and what i've heard and read in here, you are one of the teachers. so God Bless you and your fighting happy spirit sweetie, we are all learning from you. take care, love candy ;)

Jenna, it's your ol' pal Kyle Krenz. I cannot even begin to express in words how sympatheic and yet how proud I am of you. All I hear from everyone is that no matter how bad things get, you remain optimistic. I wish I knew what to say in a situation like this, but all I can say is hold in there, because I KNOW you're going to pull through and kick it! You take care and if you ever need anything, you just let me know.

According to Webster's NEW WORLD COMPACT SCHOOL AND OFFICE DICTIONARY a mullet is: "any of a group of edible, spiny-rayed fishes found in fresh and salt water". Hmmmmmm. So, Jenna, would you please tell all of us what a human mullet looks like???????????????????????
Hang in there, girl. You and your family are in my prayers every day. (As well as all human mullets - whatever they may be).

Hi guys - well, it has been a busy weekend. I finished stripping the wall paper in the dining room and kitchen. I do not have any wall paper left in my house!!!! Jamie and John came over today to paint. Jamie says "hi". I was really glad to get over and see you in the hospital. I think next round of chemo we won't be visiting if Jenna is going to be sleeping for 4 days, but, another trip will probably be in the works. And remember, TBJ and I shouldn't be partners in scattergories - unless you really want to know that knockers are found at the beach! :) Keep laughing, stay positive, and keep your spirits high.

Hi Jenna! Well do I have news for you! Today in church at St. Mary's I did not just sit behind one but TWO MULLETS!lol! one was on a boy that was about 5 years old! One was also on a high school kid and I was thinking to myself Jenna will just die! I was really hoping my mom had a camera and i even asked her and she said she didnt! I was disappointed! But I just thought I would pass that little bit of information on to you to brighten your day! Glad to see that you're back home. Hope to see you in school! Stay Positive!

Jenna,
You don't know me but your Aunt Ann wrote and told me she started a Caringbridge web site for you. I snuck a peek at your entries to see how you are doing. You sound like you have amazing spunk, spirit, and humor...a great combination for healing. My brother Greg recently passed away after a 47 year battle with Cystic Fibrosis. He, too, had your fight and tenacity and it carried him for years and years. I am sending a direct prayer request to him that he watch over you closely and protect you as you fight your own battles. Stay strong and may each new day be your best one ever. Blessings.

If you think you are beaten you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you'd like to win but think you can't, it's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose you're lost. For out in the world we find success begins with a person's faith. It's all in the state of mind. Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster hand, they go to the one who trusts in God and always think "I Can!" Keep fighting Jenna, I'm preaying for you!

Jenna and Family,

Hello, I do not know you Jenna, nor do I know your family. But I came upon your website through other caringbridge sites. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you, your family, and close friends. My boyfriend had cancer, so although I have abseloutely no idea what it's personally like, I know it's heart-breaking to watch someone battle cancer. Take care of yourself. Same goes to the family and friends of Jenna. Stay strong. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless you,

Hi Jen!
Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! Emily and I are sure enjoying this "weekend off." I hear those Hounds were victorious - that must have been a great time. Cate & Tim and I (sort of on the spur of the moment) took Andrew & Emily to see "Stomp" last night. We remarked a couple of times that it was something you would really like too. You can imagine how it fired up Andrew & Emily. Anyway we'll talk to you real soon. I have some *NEW PICTURES* that I will be forwarding to Sue (teehee)- actually they're cute, how could they be anything but?

Keep you liver hydrated,

Dear Jenna,
I want you to know that I have been thinking of you and praying for a speedy recovery.
Some of my favorite quotes you might enjoy�
** That love, not time, heals all wounds. ** Remember a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. ** When you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere. ** That the Lord didn't do it all in one day. ** That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular. And lastly� life is tough, but you�re tougher. Hang in there � brighter days are ahead and there is a whole crew from Lakeville praying for you!
Love � Lisa Truman (a friend of Cindy and your dad)

Hey Jenna - Its Dann Tucker - your uncle once removed, or whatever I am through Tom, Ann, Charlie & Emily. I've been following along from NYC. Ann has kept me informed.

The last time I saw you you were sprawled on the floor at your grandparents' house in a wild pile of your cousins battling for tootsie rolls, etc., from the Spongebob Pinata.

Good to see the notes from everybody. It sounds like you're managing this really well - all reports from Aunt Ann are really positive. My friends and I are sending you positive vibes from the big city.

Remember - you guys have a place to stay here if you want to come do NYC. Keep it in mind for whenever.

Give my love to your mom. I think about you both all the time.

Dear Jenna,
Well girl how are you? I havent talk to you in so long.. I have been so busy with school and volleyball that i have not had a free moment but now that volleyball is over I have some free time. Not much is new in the big town of sleepy eye everything seems to be the same....school is boring and teachers are cramming everything in with the end of the quarter this week. I Just wanted to check in on you see how u were doing. We really need ot hang out soon.. I am free during the week this week if your not busy and you want to do something...um..i would love to see you we need to go order some pizza from happy joe's and give the delievery boy a tip like we did last time ;) haha but anyways...i also wanted to thank you for helping me get an A in religion on an assignment about people who have influenced my life I put you done as one of them...here i can even show it to u. this is what i wrote:
Jenna Langer friend from New Ulm living personal
Jenna is a senior at New Ulm Cathedral High School. She recently found out that she has a form of bone cancer found under her cheek bones in her face which is a very rare place for it. Jenna has always been fun loving, outgoing, and has a very upbeat personality. Now that she has cancer most people would think she would have changed, but she has not changed a bit. She is the same Jenna she was before and she is going stronger then ever. She does not complain about getting cancer, but instead says she is strong and will be able to get through it. Jenna made me realize that sometimes in life we take for granted all the little things that happen and instead of being happy with our lives we complain about them. I realized that some people have it a lot harder and do not complain at all. I am trying to appreciate people and events in my life more thanks to Jenna, because I never know when it could all change someday and I never got to really enjoy it when I could have.
SO there you have it thats what I wrote about you and I mean it all. Anyways call me anytime your not busy this week and see what is up i would love to come visit u...oh and we need to talk about your cell phone...every time i call it doesnt work haha i dont get it..but yeah talk to you later

love ya always,
sadie

It was great to hear from you this morning. I really do have a lot of stories to tell you from the Chicago adventure. One of them starts with "and the horn was blaring for miles down the road and no one was honking it...". I hope to see you on Wed (maybe), but if not, possibly Sunday. Alysha and Carter always send hugs and kisses and prayers.

Dear Jenna,
I just read your most recent guestbook entries and I'm glad to hear this round of chemo is going a little easier for you. I'm also glad your grandmother kept you informed on the score today; it was a very exciting game!
I didn't realize you worked with Candy. If you look in the dictionary next to �Crazy Lady�, there is a picture of Candy. She of course will deny this, but it�s true! When we visit Target, Candy likes to give Nick a hug, if she can catch him that is. He acts as if he hates it, and makes an effort to avoid her, but I secretly think he likes it. Previously we enjoyed Candy on our grocery shopping outings when she worked at Randall�s. Emily still laughs about Candy giving "Silky" rides on the grocery conveyer belt or squeezing Silky's squeaker and saying "OHHHHHH Silky tooted". Grocery shopping was never more fun then when Candy was in the store. That�s all for now dear, hope my stories of Candy made you smile. Take care and know you and your family will remain in our thoughts and prayers daily.
Love, The Domeier�s

Hey Chenna,
Hope the 987th screening of "Clueless" is going great! Hey everybody else - Emily & I just got back from a Rochester visit and Jen-girl is doing great. The good part is this drug isn't making her near as sick as the last one. She is up and around, trailing her IVs behind her, and even EATING. The bad part - she misses her friends and the home action lots! Grandma's been calling to give her football game updates. So if you're lurking out there in cyberspace and have anything to say, now would be the time to bust out, as Jenna would say, and send a greeting her way. She will have to hang round the hospital till at least Monday, then go back on Thursday. Jenna, before long you'll be home and abusing your parking permit once again.

I said a prayer for you today
and I know God must have heard,
I felt the answer in my heart
although he spoke no word.

I didn't ask for wealth or fame,
I knew you wouldn't mind.
I asked him to send you treasures
of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that He'd be near you
at the start of each new day,
to grand you health & blessings,
and friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you
In all things great & small,
But it was for His loving care
that I prayed for most of all!

Hi guys - well, Carter and I arrived home about 3:30pm today from our adventure in Chicago. And let me tell you, it was quite the adventure with many stories to tell. Chicago is amazing. I can't wait to go back - without kids!! :) Alysha and Barry did well while we were gone. She got her stitches out last night. She meowed like a kitty while the doctor was taking them out. And then she thanked the doctor when he was done. She was a very brave little girl. We drove right by Mayo and St Mary's on our way home today. If you would have been there, we definately would have stopped. :) We will be praying that this round of chemo goes smoothly. Keep your spirits up.

Hi Jenna from St. Ben's. Family day here...football game today, St.John's won 63-9, gee sounds like a Buffalo High School score. Just had to let you know that the St.Ben's dance team performed at half-time and we all agreed that Cathedral's dance team could kick their butt. Adding new Halloween decorations for abby's room....blinking skeletons! Hang in there, you are always in our thoughts. Cate/Abby/Andy/Tim.

Hi Jenna, you don't know me, but I am very close to Harry, Casey, and Cody (Casey and Cody are my step sister and brother). Harry told me about you and I just want you to know that I will think about you every single day. You sound like you have MANY people that love you and care about you and want you to get through this. Stay strong. I don't know how old you are, but you look younger than me (I'm 19) and you have way too much to look forward to in life to let this bring you down.

I wish you and your family all the best. God works in many mysterious ways and he is working in your favor. Keep holding your head up high and keep thinking positive thoughts even when you may not be feeling the best. You have my prayers and thoughts. I will continue to look at your web site to see how your doing and I know Laurie will keep us all informed.

It's a small world. My roommate told me about a girl your age also fighting osteosarcoma. I hope you don't mind, but we gave her your website. I believe she has already contacted you. She's a real fighter with a bubbley personality, like you. Her website is www.caringbridge.org/page/amymareck. Lisa (my roommate) and I are praying for you both. All the best to you and your family.

Hey kids -
"Carpe diem" means "seize the day" in Latin, sort of like "make hay while the sun shines" or "go out and do what you've been wanting to do because it's a great day." Sorry, I should have explained that so you didn't have to run and ask your parents.

Hi Jenna,
We hope your week is going well and that you enjoy being back in school with your many, many great friends. I can't believe a 17 year-old could have so many thoughtful & caring friends. You have a wonderful network of "buddies" that many of us would feel fortunate to know. Now, all we have to do is get Jack on the "loving sister-brother" list. I'm just kidding of course. Jack really does love you Jenna. We all do! He is more the strong, macho, silent type - for now.

We are looking forward to seeing your new class picture. Keep us posted on how things are going. We are thinking of you and will see you again soon!

Love and good wishes,

Jenna-
Positive thoughts can make all the difference with your battle with cancer. Just by reading a few entries in your guest book, I can see you have a lot of support and love backing you. This poem is one of my family's favorite - I hope you enjoy it.

DON'T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're traveling seem all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another go.

Success is failure turned inside out.
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit.
It's when things seem worse that you must not quit.

Jenna and Lisa - okay, i've been thinking about this whole hair deal. I've been thinking about Jenna in a mullet and it isn't going over very well. Then I thought about curly hair. And two people told me that they know of people who lost their hair with chemo and it grew back curly. So Jenna, God may bless you with a head of curly hair in the near future...a curly mullet?!? Please remember that humor and laughter is the best medicine (along with Mayo). Keep up your spirits and keep smiling... Laurie :)

Hey sweetheart! how are you doing? I'm sorry I haven't written in until now! I was really glad to talk to you the other day though, it helped me a lot, I think I was more scared about everything than you were! You are being so brave and I am so proud of you!! Just hang in there; I know everything is going to be ok, because you are not a quiter! I love all of the mullet talk, i'm glad that it is still going strong even after Bri and I aren't there anymore! I can't wait for competitions to start! I miss danceline and being with you so much! It's fun here at school, but some things just aren't the same! Like for example, no one dances to Bump, Bump, Bump with me! It's quite disappointing. Oh and we went to visit one of my roomates one time and they were playing phantom of the opera, can you imagine how i was dancing!! Yeah everyone was giving me some nasty and weird looks!! I was thinking of you the whole time, especially at the beginning part, playing the piano! I was going nuts!! I'm looking for the perfect mullet picture and I will be sure to put it on here for ya!! I have to go do some studying now so i'll write again later hun!! Keep going strong!! Love you lots!!

as u can see it's almost 12 and i'm still not in bed yet. i just couldn't fall asleep without telling u about choreography today. we used a total choreography team effort to complete the crazy and slow parts of the dance. i must say we did an awesome job. the crazy part is filled with moving, color changes, and a vertical line/pinwheels while the slow part consists of a heel stretch/fan kick contagain ending with an add-on of simple footwork(grapevine). i can't wait until u feel well enough to come to a meeting. it's just not the same without u. i hope ur recovering quickly from your treatments. my prayers are with ya. luv ya lots~ sharon

To Jenna -
First off Jenna I'm very sorry I have not written in this before today. Frequent updates will now be made daily.
As I sit here, I read all the other entries and hear things about mullets, danceline (go team yay), and other 'fiery' topics & wonder.. what can I talk about that no one else can? What can my update be that you can look forward to everyday? Yes Jenna brace yourself..I have found it... (drum roll por favor -props to spanish-) You will now recieve a daily dose of "Let's Reed". --remember to breathe hun--
So with that said: Reed Glawe (my father) had a fine day at work today and came home around 6 ish to grab a bite to eat and head out to our house. He was taken aback by a group of 5 girls listening to a certain 'Bittersweet Symphony' whilst (busting that word out for you) dancing and diligently choreographing beautiful moves.
I know it's not much yet.. but I will be interviewing Reed Glaweh tonight and get a few words of wisdom/quotes to convey to you. I love you always hun.. I know exactly what you are having to deal with from my own past experiences. Call if ya ever need me and go easy on the Pepsi.. thinking about you always!

p.s. keep reeding :)

Hey! I am sure you have searched for mullet websites already but I came across these and I thought they were really cool. There are 2 that are really good.: www.mulletsgalore.com which u can get stickers and t-shirts that say mullet pride(which I totally think you should get-lol) and www.mulletmaddness.com and there you can make a mullet on the president and its really cool!! So i think you should really check them out and then I htink you should buy a mullet pride t-shirt-all of you mullet infatuated people should. Well you're in my prayers constantley. And I did spell my name wrong last time so I will make a note to check and make sure I spell it correctly this time.LOL! ~*Elizabeth*~

Hi Jenna - mullets? really? well, in honor of you, Alysha decided that she would have Bob (our hair cutter) give her a mullet. Would she be cute or what?!? But even though we really like you, we decided against it. This web site is great. You have so much support and so many people love you!!! Take care of yourself and give your mom a hug from us. And Jack can have a hug, and Kirby can have a hug, and Rosebud can have a hug...on second thought, I think Kirby should get a loaf of bread...:)

Dear Jenna,
I've been thinking about you and wishing you the best since I found out you were sick. You just make sure to have those doctors work around your social life, OK? :) Sounds like you've got the best care and support in the world to beat this. Barbara sent me this website so I can keep up with your progress. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers and am pulling for you all from down here in Iowa.
All the best,

Hi Jenna, Jack and Mom:

Just got back from the North Country for a few days of R & R--It was our 41st wedding anniversary. We're at Cathy's home in Monticello and took the opportunity to check in with you to see how you are all doing. Hope you were able to go home today. Will stop in to see you when you have had time to regroup and settle in.

Our prayers are with you all every day. Please call if there is anything we can do for you including taking you to Rochester on "the buffalo trail".

Love and Hugs from all our family,

Uncle Charlie and Aunt Carol

The king of all haircuts... the Mullet. Fashionable with 80's footballers, terrible pop stars, country and western singers and stupid Americans of all descriptions.

Short on top, long at the back, nothing is guaranteed to make you a social outcast quicker than the mullet.

Jenna~I just wanted to write to you and say how proud I am of you and the strength that you have shown through all of this. I was listening to the Homecoming song that your class had picked out this year, "The World I Know" and one line really stuck out and made me think of you..."Hope still lingers on"...because no matter what you may encounter through this journey, I pray that you keep hoping. You must always keep your head up high and smile with the faith and trust that we are all sending your way. I believe in you, Jenna, and so does everyone else that you may have crossed paths with. I am praying for you and wish you the best of luck!

Mullet alert! Me and my neighbor Dorothy were at the MOA today and in the parking lot and saw this little kid with a mullet. When we were in Nordstroms we saw the little kid and his dad, and Dorothy goes "Hey look, it's the mullet kid! Hi!" and the dad (who also had a mullet) looked back at us like we were crazy.The kid's mullet was so "beautiful". The top was spikey and the back was all curly. xoxoxoxox

Jenna,
We have been getting updates from Dick and June, we're thankful that you have great doctors that are helping you fight this one. You have quite the team of supporters behind you, but about this mullet thing.........you NEED to get some better advice and/or get out more often! But, if you want to see some serious mullets I would recommend the State Fair, some 80's throughbacks still exist and some have reproduced. I've heard that laughter is also good medicine, so we'll keep our eyes out for, "The perfect mullet".
Hang in there, we are all behind you!

Okay Jenna.. I hope you're sitting down for this entry.. So at the football game on Saturday I was talking to Matt Sweeney(yes a writer for PenPoints) and he was looking at some of my pictures and came across one of the many mullet ones I have in there. I then asked him to write an article about mullets for the school newspaper and what did he say?! YES! So me, you, and Cody F. are going to be interviewed about mullets and the beauty of the mullet. I was gonna tell you today at pictures but you weren't there--they looked awesome though- So at like the end of November/beginning of December me and you, and Cody need to set up an interview time..lol-- I'll talk to you soon tho Jenna-- I'm thinking about you soo much and I miss you lots-- Keep your head high and keep on smiling! We're all praying for you! Love you lots! xoxo-- Jenna

Hey there stranger! I hope that you're hanging in there. We missed you at practice this week....you need to come back and liven that bunch up! I don't know what we'll do without you next year. Keep that beautiful smile and positive energy going...it will make the fight easier! I pray everyday for God to give you strength and have faith that he will carry you through this. Never give up hope! Hope to see you soon;)

Hey Hun!
Well it looks to me like you have a lot of people praying for you including me and all the other girls back here. Abby told me to tell you that all the sisters at Divine Providence are praying for you and one of them knows some people at a church in Canada and every Wednesday they list all the people that have cancer that need prayers and we got you on that list. I hope that this helps you in someway. I feel helpless but just know that I am here 24/7 whenever you need me. I have only known you for a year but your one of my closest friends. Your a strong girl and I know you will make it through this because you can. THanks for coming on wednesday it was nice to see you. I love you very much and so does everone else back here. We will keep praying for you!

Love you always!

Hey, Jenna...

I work with your mom also, seems like there must be a million worker bees from the guestbook entries so far! My thoughts/prayers are with you and I believe you'll beat this nasty disease! I did a social work internship at Mayo this past summer and know what a fabulous job they do and the ton of resources they have available, you couldn't be in better hands. If I can be of help in any way, to you or Mom, let me know. Have you had a chance to go to the Canadian Honker resturant (across from St. Mary's) yet? The Bunny Cake is out of this world! The Family Facilitators are pulling for you! Shari

Hi Jenna,
I work with your Aunt Ann. She told me about your set back. I too, like many of those who have sent you emails, have put you and your family on my churches prayer list-Celebration Church in Lakeville. I'm expecting a miracle, because I know the God we serve is a Mighty God and he does answer prayers.

Jenna,
Just a quick note to let you know that we're thinking about you and praying for you. Your recovery was the intention of one of the HT religion classes who went to adoration yesterday at the Cathedral. As you probably know, you have many "castmate fans" at HT who were in the play with you, and their thoughts are with you as well. Take care and God bless--
