We're Here

Hi all. Rick and I got into LaGuardia this morning and went right to the hospital. Jan looks pale and is very fatigued, but overall she is better than I expected. Her pain is clearly well controlled and that makes a big difference. The "Jan" spirit is there, and she let's us know very clearly what she needs. There were more tests today, chest x-ray and MRI and we'll know results tomorrow. The doctors are promising surgery this week and while, I'm sure it will be tough, everything will be clearer then and the next steps can be planned.

I'm staying with Doug and the boys tonight, and maybe until the surgery, but then I will find a way to stay nearby the hospital at least for a few days. I might stay with Jan's cousin (but her husband is ill right now and I don't want to catch anything), or I might find a hotel room.

Jan is not freaking out and is patiently waiting to get all the news. If she does freak out she knows she can call us in the middle of the night and we will be there.

I'll keep you updated. Love to all who read this.
