Happy New Year!

We're posting from the road, so no Irish blessing tonight. The bad news is, we're leaving Iowa City to head back to Denver, but the good news is, that means Jane is doing great! We can't believe how well she is doing and how fast she is progressing. Once she felt well enough to sleep, she's had a couple of great days of rest, mixed with some hard work doing her breathing exercises and walking. Randy, Scott, Martha, and Teresa are all poised and ready for Jane's discharge, which we're hoping will be in the next day or two.


The NG tube, catheter, and IV are all out, and Jane is eating solid foods. She's had a great appetite, even for hospital food! Speaking of the hospital, Jane has had nothing but positive things to say about her care at UIHC. The nursing staff and Dr. Bender's residents have been wonderful and are taking great care of her. The doctors haven't done rounds yet tonight, but we think that as soon as that food starts moving through her system, she'll get to go home.

Thanks again for everyone's prayers and thoughts! Although the start to this new year is not what we planned, we are counting our blessings for a successful surgery and a great support team for the next step in this fight. Hope you all have a happy and healthy new year!
