Perspective of a Mom

Wish we had brought a camera yesterday to record Janna's progress through the hospital ... in a wheel chair, with a food tray on her lap, eating lunch! Or maybe the one where they are hooking up the chemo as she is eating the puppy chow (thanks Corissa)! So far her stomach of steel is holding its own. God bless you all for your prayers and amazing expressions of concern. Your friendship is a gift to be cherished on this long journey.

  2. Janna, you are in our prayers! The kids, Zubin and I send lots of hugs and kisses! Good luck with that stomach of steel thing! I didn't know if I was going to loose my cookies or pee my pants yesterday when I went back looking through pictures from our Kirksville days! We looked fabulous!
    Lots of Love!

  3. Janna, I work with Lisa at P&G and although we haven't met, I’ve followed your progress through Lisa's updates. It's easy to see why she admires you so. Your positive attitude and the courage you are displaying as you go through this trial is truly inspiring. Many of us here in Cincinnati will continue to think of you and send our hopes & prayers for a most successful outcome.

  6. Hello Janna, Ida Mae and Willie, Thank you for sending me the link. This site is a true blessing for you I am sure.It will be for us down here in Georgia because we definetly want to keep up to date on your progrss. Day One Complete! I will let mom and dad know I received word and have the contact as soon as I log off here. We all have been praying for you and for God to heal you completely. We will continue to do so.
    Today we got about 2-3 inches of snow. For us that is alot! We have had fun playing outside in it. I will try to see if there is a way to post a picture... not sure I can here?
    Janna stay positive, believe and trust and know even tho we are many miles away we are right with you in our hearts.

  9. Janna! I just found out about all of this yesterday, and my heart goes out to you and your family. My mother went through breast cancer in her 40's, had a bone marrow transplant, and has been cancer free for 15+ years. So, I have much much hope for you. Also, let your family know that I will do whatever it is you need to make life a little easier for you during this crazy time. Just give your family my phone number, and tell them to contact me or ANYTHING.

    You are an amazing young woman Janna, and I am proud to have met you this last summer! If you need me to mail you out Bananagrams, you just let me know!

    You are in my prayers!
