Day +69 Another Big Surprise


Today was Jo's 84th day with her 3-pronged CVC hanging out of her chest. Tonight is her first night post-transplant without it. Dr. Anderlini tried to create as much suspense as possible and eventually he said, "I can't think of any reason not to take it out." Jo and Meema just about came out of their skin!

Congratulations! I've been following your story--teach line dancing at the Cascades Senior Center in Sterling, VA. I was diagnosed with uterine carcinoma/sarcoma a year ago last October. The support and prayers of my dancing friends has helped me stay positive through surgery, chemo, and radiation. I, too, am fighting a battle--check up to check up. Every day I wake up and thank God--"this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it." Your upbeat attitude is a wonderful example!

WOW! I am so very happy for you. YOU GO GIRL! (Hey - You always have been a "Go Girl". Why should you stop now? LOL)
FYI - Sunday, January 30th my dance group, The Berkshire County Line Dancers (North Adams,MA) will be dancing *Just for Jo*. We are having a pizza party / all request dance. We've been practicing many, many, many of your dances. Our goal that night is not to just raise money for your cause but also to see how many of your dances we can fit into our dancing night. Everyone is looking forward to this and ALL wish you their very, very best.
Love ya'! HUGS,
Charlene
