We have arrived at NIH and checked in with Admissions. Things are starting to move along but at a snails pace for today. The nursing staff have started the usual vital signs and admission assessments and are waiting for the doctors orders. Jeff can expect to be on a clear liquid diet and then no food by mouth starting later this evening. I don't think there are any further tests today .... just an IV and some rest.
It feels like home week here on 3NW. Several of the staff have already stopped in to say Hi and to get the latest update on Jeff's health over the past few months. The surgury is scheduled for tomorrow at 8 a.m. and I will post before and after the surgery.
Thank you everyone for you comments - it feels good to be "blogging" again. I thought I'd share Joe and Rachel's posting as it seems befitting for our situation...thanks to our many friends and family...whose support has meant everything to us. (FYI - Joe is a lifelong friend of Jeff's and lives with his wonderful wife Rachel in Utah)
What Cancer cannot do:
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
Iit cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendships
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit
.....And it doesn't have a clue as to what it got into when it tried to mess with my friend Jeff!
(Thanks for the post J&R!)
