Jeremy’s Story

Site created on November 24, 2018

Jeremy moved back to MN in January to see if the U of M could help with declining medical issues. Since January we have had 4 ER visits, 4 hospital stays, and 5 ERCP procedures. Since than we have been told he has stage 2 liver cirrhosis due to all the medications over the years from his cystic fibrosis. As they started to dig into that more, they noticed that might not be the reason for the elevated liver numbers. A liver biopsy and a biopsy from cells inside the intestine were performed. From this, it has been concluded that Jeremy has Periampullary Cancer. He is Schedule for a Whipple Procedure on December 13. At this time they will be removing 100% of his pancreas, part of his stomach, part of his intestine, and part of the liver. His hospital stay will be 10 to 14 days if all goes well.


As of today, we take it day to day. Some days he is really good and other days he is in a lot of pain. Nights are probably the hardest on him. We are all looking forward to getting this procedure put behind us and learning to adjust to life after this. Lots of prayers for a nice smooth recovery as we pray for no complications.

Journal entry by Laura Greene —

The Greene family wants to thank each and every one of you for your time, energy, prayers, support, love, meals, generosity, gifts, hugs....you’ve all provided over the course of the last several months. We can never express how appreciative we are. From the bottom of our hearts and souls, THANK YOU!! 

This weekend was a true testament of how loved Jeremy is. He is forever in our hearts and minds. We know he was present. We know he felt the love. ❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽

Although our lives will never be the same and the grief will always be present, I’ll leave us all with this:

“God promises to make something good out of the storms that bring devastation to your life.” Romans 8:28

And I’ll tell ya what, I’d rather go through the storms with Jesus than sail through life without Him. 🙌🏽

 Here are pictures from Jeremy’s celebration of life. Please stay connected. Those in Jeremy’s  life are a part of us too.
