More than 70+ Cards!!!!

By the pictures attached above, hopefully you can tell that my parents were overwhelmed with cards! I was able to spend Saturday with them for Mom's birthday, and go through some of them, but there were SOOOO many! Thank you, everyone! Many of you are VERY funny:)

AND....not only did you far exceed the goal of 70, but you may have also helped the US Postal Service pull out of debt? Well.....maybe not, and I shall refrain from further comment on that;)

Tomorrow we go down to Baltimore for post-op appointment. We also requested a "Multi-D" appointment so that we can meet with all 3 docs on the team at the same time. What a logistical nightmare that was....
We hope to have our questions answered, or at least be able to make decisions about next steps and whether those next steps are at UMMC, or perhaps at another cancer center. Not sure. Stay tuned.

Topic shift and on a MUCH happier note. Dad, Jeff (my brother), Marc (brother-in-law), and my husband leave Friday for New Orleans. They are SUPER BOWL BOUND!!!! GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, everyone, for sending those cards along. It was great fun to be greeted each afternoon with so much mail. It was a nice distraction for them both. I was not there to observe the process, but knowing my parents, it went something like this:     Dad opened each envelope with an official letter opener (careful not to tear the envelope), took out the card and read it silently, then passed it to Mom, who read each one out loud, as if Dad needed help with the big words. What a pair they make;)

Please continue to pray for healing within heart, mind, and soul. This journey continues to present its challenges in all of our hearts, minds, and souls.

Much love to all.............Jen
