Journal entry by Tom Rankin —
We've been remiss in updating everyone, so today seems like a particularly fitting time to do so.
First and very celebratory, Jorie marked the completion of her 64th lap around the sun today. Woohoo!
Next and extremely happily, Jorie has been re-staged with a battery of diagnostics imagery (CT, PET, MRI), and they all showed her to be clear of any evident signs of lymphoma! Woohoo doubly!
Jor continues her physical reconditioning, and is being rewarded by being able to move around the house quite comfortably without any aid. She's also doing laps around our neighborhood using her 4-wheeled walker, but those days will soon pass, and she'll be aid-free everywhere.
She is still battling her pulmonary issues, with the most challenging part being a persnickety cough that just won't completely go away. But the more active she becomes, I'm optimistic that these issues will diminish. But the dreaded "it takes time" mantra appears to be in play.
So, a lot of great news to report, with more to come we're sure!
