Re: To my dearest friends from Jacquelyn

Hey guys,

This has to be a short letter, but I wanted all of you to know how much I

miss you and how very thankful for your cards, gifts, prayers and most of

all, your friendship. I truly cannot remember the last time I posted. I was

readmitted to the hospital for the past 6 days after having been there 6

weeks when they found the tumor. What brought me back into that luxurious

place (ha) was some very extreme edema EVERYWHERE...so much to where I can't

grasp a cup in my hand. Anyway, for my worry wart family of Peg-MOM, Laurie,

and , I AM ABSOLUTELY FINE!!!

One other concern is that I am mildly rejecting my liver. They felt in

the hospital right before I went home that the numbers were coming down a

little, but we'll recheck them again. That along with the ascites is

concerning and I'm pretty much sure he won't keep me in the hospital after my

appt, but WHO KNOWS with my crazy body!!! I'm the one who decided to come

home because the next day was 's birthday and with the holidays

coming up, etc....If there is a reason (rejection) that requires IV's then we

will look into home health care..It's just that those babies need their

Mommy...even though Luke is the MOST perfect Daddy and husband in the whole

wide world....Luke said he has seen the biggest change in them since I've

been home...for example Calvin (our baby 3 year old) is like my shadow....and

I LOVE IT!!! 's soooo sweet and precious as well...she keeps drawing

me pictures.

And again for the worry warts out there...Luke is treating me like a

queen....he's cooking, cleaning, bathing the kiddos, getting them to bed.

He's just a gift straight from above!!

Well, gotta go!!! We're looking for a new house!! Yeah!!!!!

I love you all!!

Jacquelyn
