Back Home

[Jennifer and Jack]

Just a quick update. I don't want to get into a long thing right now. I don't have the energy but so many of you have sent me private messages and notes that I wanted to say something. I update my facebook every day. I do that because it is easier just to throw it all out there and not have to repeat myself.

You all have been so loving, kind and supportive to me and I am so grateful. I got home from the Cleveland Clinic last night. My dear friend Susan, (susan and Sasha ) went with me, We were supposed to be gone one night maybe two, 11 days later we left AWOL.

Is is the belief of Infectious disease and Cardiology that the device that the other hospital put in my heart has a deep seated infection..... discouraging to say the least, I stopped IV antibiotics three days ago and we will wait for the infection to manifest it self. It is my sincere prayer and belief that they are wrong and that the infection does not come back however, we have an amazing plan in place to fly me back to Cleveland Clinic for the surgery should the need arise. They feel it will be days before I am sick again.. I disagree.

Some other things showed up on my spine, a lesion where I am having back pain. They believe it is non cancerous something called and atypical hemangioma.. non cancerous at all but mine does not totally fit the mold for that... and I have a few other spine issues so we are doing bone scans just to be sure.

Jack comes back home to me tomorrow, I made Molly a cake. No one knows anything. We just sit and wait, I am trying to relax and am most grateful to susan for being ther for me like she always has for the past 16 years. She missed a week of work, had to board her dog and spend every mintue with me.. I am so grateful. She missed her own very special birthday away from her family and fathers day away from her husband.. I am blessed and she is amazing.

This trip was so expensive and I am so grateful to each of you who participated in my fund raiser it was such a relief to have expenses covered.

I am so so sorry I hve not written back to each of you.. It is very draining for me to talk about, very hard for me to stay on top of doctors and appointments and all the new things they keep finding wrong with me.

If you want to be my FB friend please add me as a friend.. I would love to keep DK as a place of escape for me but since I have had so much love and support from you all I want you to know how grateful I am and keep you in the loop as much as you want to be so I will try to update on here as well ..

I get my Jack back tomorrow, I don't know for how long it may just be a day or two. He is doing super well, My mom loves him.... He is happy when he is with her and with me.. For now my mom will be staying with me so we will all be together...

I can't wait to celebrate Mollys birthday tomorrow.
