Please feel free to share this site and  don't forget to check back for updates. As we embark on this cancer journey, we want to thank you for all the support you have given and will give. Our community is strong and we're feeling the love!

Thank you,

Journal entry by Ali, Claire & Grace Novotny

Hi Everyone - 

Just thought I'd send out a note on here again letting you all know that mom is still in the hospital. Today is day 16. She's still in pain, feeling pretty weak and fighting off infections. She is on a few different antibiotics to fight off C-Diff and an abscess in her abdomen. The hope is that she will go home towards the end of the week if all goes well, as her providers are confident she is on the right track.

She is not enjoying the food at the hospital and will have little to no energy to prepare meals for herself, so we will be posting a second round of the MealTrain schedule when she's back home. She misses seeing family & friends and hopes to have visitors when she's out of the hospital. 

She loves hearing from all of you, thank you for being in touch. 

-Grace
