Dear family and friends,

Greetings to you all, I feel we deserve this warm weather after last year’s severe and long winter.

I was so pleased that I had gained 15 lbs. and was giving credit to my starting meals on wheels a couple weeks ago. However, after a CT scan on Monday we found out that much of the weight gain was fluid and    6 lbs. of fluid was removed from my abdomen.

With the fluid buildup chemo is not advised because of the possibility of infection and consequences for my heart.

I am enjoying the meals on wheels, nutritious food and nice sized portions, doing exercises to strengthen my muscles and home visits from a nurse.

And of course my books and television help keep me content at home.

I continue to be in awe of all your support and love shown me through cards, emails, texts and phone calls. I walk with Jesus by my side every day and trust in him to guide me along.

Much love to you all,             Jean
