We went to get Jan's x-ray this morning and everything was fine, apparently the air bubble had been absorbed. We stopped on the way and got some flowers for the nurse that helped her through the day yesterday. The nurse was very appreciative and of course, when we walked in, all the other nurses said "is this the poor sole you were talking about that had such the rough time yesterday?" .......I just stood back and drank my coffee while they all hugged and carried on.... Jan has been sore and tender today where they stabbed her looking for a nice, plump, juicy artery, but other than that, she is good. She took a nap this afternoon, I tried catching up on a little work. Her parents just showed up and she's pumped about halloween. Tomorrow is the first chemo treatment. Wish her luck!
Evening Update: We had a perfect Halloween Eve. Mom and Dad were here so we enjoyed visiting with them. My Dad went Trick or Treating with Jillian, Bret, John and Olivia while Tyler headed out with one of his friends. We moved the Gahlberg's chimnea (yes, we are going to return it some day...) to the front yard and my Mom and I sat by the fire to hand out the candy. We had a lot of kids and it was just so nice to sit outside and relax...I could have stayed out all night...I just don't want this day to end. I talked to Dr. B.s's nurse today and they called me in a scrip to help with nerves and nausea before my first chemo appointment. After getting so sick yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to call and ask for something. I am just hoping things go well....

Jan-
I have been thinking of you all day yesterday and today! Glad to hear that everything seems better today! We just got back from trick or treating at the university. It always brings back memories of Risden Road (except the houses are MUCH closer together and much more candy!). I hope your kids had tons of fun (and you too!) Take care and know we are all thinking of you!
Sorry, last comment was from Heather

Love you,

O.K. everyone, just heard from Bret. She is home and resting comfortably! They gave her something to take the edge of and it did just that! He said things went very well and she was feeling O.K. when she went to rest. He will post more this evening!
