a long week behind us, and jane continues to mend. today she moves forward in her quest for more information, but hits a wall - there is no further news on her 'pathology' so we play a waiting game.
calls are made to set up appointments with oncologists, as we try to figure out (in a vacuum) what is the best way to move forward ... not so easy. friends stop by with home made challah for the onset of shabbat, while others pop in with a delicious lunch that we all enjoy on china with a glass of wine. flowers pour in, chocolates arrive in waves (including yummy pretzels!), lovely teas follow - all are appreciated along with good wishes for jane's continued speedy recovery.
she feels great and is healing incredibly - no one can believe she just had surgery last week - she has boundless energy and a positive, giddy attitude! we finally venture out after lunch, making our way to the two surgeons, laden with fresh baked chocolate chunk cookies and gifts to show our own gratitude. not only are the doctors knowledgeable, skilled, and encouraging, but their entire staff reflect their own warmth and professionalism.
high marks all around, the kids slowly make their way back home from art, friends, wrestling ... more packages and good wishes. we order dinner from a local persian restaurant - delicious and easy - courtesy of yet more dear friends. an evening call finds us on our way to yet out for post-dinner coffee and dessert in the area - with yet more friends! we are overwhelmed and buoyed by everyone's kindness and love! more critically, we feel connected and engaged (not isolated) ... so helpful, and fun -
no wonder jane is healing so quickly!
love to all and shabbat shalom -
