The past few days have been pretty hard core here. We went through a few rough patches but again my sister has pulled through with an even brighter smile than before. We almost last here late last week but for the 7th time having what they consider a "fatal heart attack" and being about to pronounce her, her crazy rhthym started back up again. After getting her back up to spead with the world again a group of doctors were in talking to her and did indeed decide to sign her papers for a new heart. The papers arent really in terms of Jenn Getting a new heart as they are more a last wish type thing. They asked what it was that kept bringing her back and she said mearly that she wouldnt leave until they signed her papers and that she was simply just born to prove them all wrong. It was pretty entertaining to us because maybe deep in my heart, I know that she did just prove them wrong in so many ways. 6 heart attacks ago we were told she wouldnt survive another one and we have said our "final goodbyes" 4 times now just to turn around and have her singing and dancing in her bed with us a few weeks later.
This time we are finally hopefully that even if this isnt the end of her hard struggles, then she will at least finally get to continue EVERYTHING at home. We are looking at being released the 21st where nurses will pickup Jenn's care at home the 22nd. I can say that Jenn has NOT given up the fight but does realize her current condition and odds and would rather it be this way. She has again started her on Vincristine today with Cyclophoshamide and Actinomycin D to follow. I am not sure that I spelled those right but I am trying. She will also have radiation between each cycle until either she completes 3 cycles or the worst happens. Either way she is determind to fight and be home again.
Please keep her and all of us in your prayers and we help her get through everything she feels she needs.
