24 Nights? Make that 25


Jo's first day at home was also supposed to be her first night at home, but it didn't turn out that way. Due to a nose bleed that wouldn't stop, Jo and Meema were back at MD Anderson from midnight until 4am. If nothing else, it was a great practice run just in case we have a more serious situation that requires a rush trip.

Since the 11th floor at MD Anderson is staffed 24 hours a day and they are taking care of transplant patients every day, Jo essentially has a 24 hour hotline. A quick call to the charge nurse on the transplant floor and just about any question or concern can be resolved.

So sorry for the little adventure. Loving your outfit, it looks so adorable. The hat is awesome, thinking you should keep hats as part of your wardrobe for a long time even when the flowing hair comes back in. It's absolutely stunning, you're stunning! Miss you!

Hi Jo, I'm keeping up with you on your journey. Always know that you are such an inspiration to all
of us that has been on the dance floor since you started writing and
teaching. The Ganean DelaGrange days.
(I don't really know how the spell her name) but you know who I'm talking about. We came to Knoxville TN. when you were TV there. We were from Schuffletown
USA in Simpsonville, SC. We did a

a little dance called "God Blessed
Texas" Just know we are all praying for you and can't wait until you get back out there with us. YOu are very loved and admired
Keep holding Gods hand and he will
lead you back to where you belong.
Thank you for letting us know how you are. love u Shirley Batson.

Jo! You look fabulous! It is so good to hear that you are feeling a bit better! I bet it is so great to be out of your hospital room and in your "home away from Denver home". As Kimberly said....love the outfit and you look great in a hat!!

Hi, Jo.
You look fabulous as usual!
Glad to hear that you have good appetite. The taste bud issue will evaporate in no time. A friend of mine went through the same procedure (her brother was her donor), she ended up inheriting his taste for very spicy foods. At one point, she joked about the possibility of inheriting some of his male characteristics. Luckily, that did not happen. :) She is expecting her first child in Feb.
Continue to pray for your health and the loving people who surround and help you.
