Karen's Day at Shands

Karen wanted a place for family and friends to be able to see how she is doing each day at Shands. This is how she is making that happen.

sunday morning

November22

good morning everyone,

It is raining here in Gainsville…looks pretty coming down out there.  We are trying to get a pass to go visit a church this morning.  Not sure when the Doc’s will get here but church doesn’t start until 930am so we will see.  I was a little nauseous last night so they brought me some ativan.  It helped and I slept pretty good.  I am looking forward to getting discharged on Monday and a visit with my kids.  We are still working out details, but it will be great.  Also Lori and Buffy, still looking forward to seeing you two today.  My email is down right now so I can’t get to your phone numbers.  

 Thanks for all the comments and visits to this site.  I appreciate each and everyone of you.  This is most definitely the hardest thing I have ever been through.  I am having to make major life changes…and I am not able to be with my kids which is really the hardest part.  The fear of the unknown, and the inability to make plans….Jacob turns 14 on Nov. 29.  Happy birthday my son.  I wish I could be there.  I am very thankful that my treatments are working and I am in remission.  It is hard to not want a quick fix…but this is something that will take some time.  Not for big babies.  Stay in touch….and keep praying for continued healing and strength for both  me and my little family.

thanks, Karen

    Karen…. I am so sorry that Buffie and I didn’t get over there today. Buffie didn’t get freed up from her stuff until late today. We were thinking about seeing you tomorrow. I read on your blog that your kids are going to be here. Let us know when would be good. I think this week we are both working until around 5pm.
    Hugs…Lori
