I am writing this last journal entry myself to whole-heartedly thank all of you who were following this journey on Caring Bridge.  You were incredibly supportive in so many ways.  Some of you visited us and brought gifts.  Many of you sent cards.  Numerous supporters followed these journals.  Countless well-wishers kept us in your thoughts and prayers; and we could feel the power of your positive vibes, along with the healing they brought!  There is no doubt in our minds that all these efforts by each of you helped us each day!
     The neurosurgeon gave Dennis and myself good news on May 20th that I no longer need to wear the cervical collar.  What a sense of freedom and increased independence!  I am now driving and going back to the gym.  With therapy and exercising I will regain more flexibility and strength.  Each week I am getting closer to my usual lifestyle and routines.
     I feel very blessed to have gotten to this point and, in the process, am acutely aware that a lot of people, including many of you, have continued struggles and challenges.  Please know that I am praying for strength and peace for any of you who are experiencing trials in your lives.
     God Bless Each of You!

     Love from all of us,
     Janet, Dennis, And Family
