Joel’s Story

Site created on December 8, 2018

Thank you all for visiting, it was challenging to try to reach out to all of you. You are all amazing and very important to me, but with all that has happened I just couldn’t keep reaching to everyone. A family friend suggested to do this to help every know my progress  since everyone is so far away. Thank you for all your prayers, they were heard .

Journal entry by Wendy Jendro

    We are wishing for new changes for 2019. We got Joel home just before Christmas. It was nice to have him home. It wasn’t a hallmark Christmas movie that you might expect but it was are own miracle Christmas. We ate and slept most of the day just enjoyed being couch potatoes. Joel was home and we were together by the fire for Christmas, our miracle.
     On Thursday, we had to go back to get checked out and the doctor removed Joel’s last drain. The doctors said we have to go back in a week for another CT Scan to see if he needs another drain. Poop! But we have a week drain free and Joel can sleep and move much easier without the poking of the drain. He has gained 1 1/2 pounds since his appointment. Another huge yeah!
    We have many Blessings with all your prayers and support. Words can not express how many Blessings you all have given us, but the prayers has made it possible for us to be home for Christmas. Thank you for helping us make it possible and giving us so much Love and support.

   May you all have all your dreams come true in the New Year! Our  dreams came true having you all in our lives. Thank you.
