    d-in-law in hospital again

    I'll try to say this quickly because I have trouble thinking right now. Jenny has been diagnosed with cancer and last Thurs. underwent 9 hr surgery to remove her right lymph node gland thing and half of her tongue. She had part of her inside thigh and some of her forearm skin removed to re-construct her tongue. The surgeon is optomistic that they "got" all the cancer and chemo & radiation treatments might be minimal. She is in so much pain and distress she was put into restraints on Friday and yesterday when son Ken & I went to see her they had her under such heavy meds she couldn't tell we were there. They had to med her so heavily because she was getting out of control and trying to pull her wires and plugs out. Expected to be in hospital for week to 10 days and who knows what after that. The boys (my step-grandkids) are basically in denial but Ken & I are trying to keep things even. Kind thoughts welcome right now and don't know if I can post too much for awhile. I hurt with her Thank you.

    When Jenny is conscious, tell her we are sending her lots of hugs, okay? We met Jenny at the first "Pet Talk, PA" meeting last spring. Prayers on the way for you all.

    Laurie, all my thoughts and prayers are with Jenny tonite. Oh how I wish I had some magic words for you and your family to help ease the pain and worry. I know this is such a scary time for you all right now. Be strong and hold tight and try to always think positive. Don't forget that you also have to take care of yourself at a time like this. Try to find a minute or two just for yourself so that you can just close your eyes and relax and take some deep breaths and gather your thoughts. We are here for you whenever you need to talk.

    Lots of prayers and hugs coming your way....Robin
