Hello. I still wish you would go to your
doctor and take at least tommarrow off
from school not only for yourself, but you
do not want to give your kids what you
have. You do need the rest. I know you
will go tommarrow so I am probably wasting
my time telling you to stay home. what
kind of pasta are you making? I woke up
with swollen glands and a sore throat. my
cardio said it is strept throat. my throat
was a little sore yesterday, but I thought
it was just irritated from my allergies.
So i did not say anything. Well Jonathan
asked the cardio if he could just come and
see me for a couple minutes. My cardio
said ok just so he does not come near me.
He just left. I was happy to see him. He
has to travel for his job tommarrow. my
legs so far wednesday. I do not know about
dialysis. He was having concerned with my
glands and throat, and kept listening to
my heart alot. are you going to promise me
you are going to call the doctor and maybe
take a day off even if you happen to wake
up and feel better? Well hope you enjoy
dinner. Write if you feel like it. Enjoyed
talking to you. happy that you took it
easy today, but one day is not gonna do
it! prayers coming your way. janine

Hi,
Yes I am taking off tomorrow. I'll make
an appointment in the morning. Feel pretty
bad. Gonna hit the sack. Packaged pasta
not too good. More antibiotics coming your
way. Your cardio is listening close
because of the infection. he wants to keep
it away from the heart. He's a good man.
I'm off to nite nite. Thanks for writing
and your caring. You are to have a good
nite. Orders. See you tomorrow.
Everything's good.
God Bless,
Jerry

Hello. I just woke up. Fell asleep fast
last night, but only slept for an hour.
Was up until 4am. I feel horrible, but
have to try and eat something. They
brought me mashed potatoes something easy
to swallow. I just got a phone call from
my mom in law and Luciana also has a
fever. I hope I did not give her anything.
She is holding her ear. She is going to
the doctors as we speak. My cardio says I
really do need dialysis today. He says he
wishes I did not. I was worried about you,
and I am sorry I was not able to leave you
a message this morning. See you need to
rest, and let it get out of your system.
Also you probably need an antibiotic. I
bet your kids miss you, but they can sense
when you do not feel well. Just like
Luciana does. Actually you should take a
couple days off from work. You really have
been overdoing it lately. Gonna go my
cardio is back with that worried look on
his face. Hope I am wroing and he is just
tired. Let me know how your appointment
goes. Praying for you. Janine

Hi,
Why did the cardio have a worried
look on his face? Hope if didn't have
anything to do with you or another
problem. How are you feeling. I guess by
now you have taken your dialysis for the
day. So I'm sure you are very tired by
now. I know your cardio struggles with
giving you the treatment. I'm praying for
him too.
I just got back from the doc's and had
some antibiotics prescribed. He is a
friend and is very interested in me
getting stem cell. He'll let me know if he
here's anything. I do feel a little better
than I did earlier. He told me I had a
touch of bronchitis. I'll see how it goes
in the morning. I'll let you rest . Don't
feel like you need to write. Just rest.
I'll write later. Evrything's good
God Bless,
jerry

Hello. Just finished dialysis. Luciana
has a double ear infection, and Jonathan
or I are not there for her. I wish I did
not have this throat infection, I would
have her here. I told my mom in law not to
call Jonathan he will feel terrible that
he is away and she is sick. He did not
want to leave me so I could only imagine
how he would feel knowing she is sick. I
hope she will sleep. One good thing her
heart still sounds good. I am so afraid
that she will have heart problems too. Do
any of your children have heart problems?i
am so glad you got an antibiotic. Maybe it
is a good thing you went to your doctor
maybe he will be the stem cell connection.
I believe in fate . You should at least
take one more day or two off from school.
my cardio looked like that because he said
he feels bad for my throat and glands
really swollen and hurt. He said this is
another dangerous infection. He did watch
alot during dialysis. Today I really did
not care. Could use the company. I did
get scolded by the nurse, because I
vomitted and did not call anyone before
hand. Isn't that the silliest thing you
have ever heard. She could tell something
was going on from the way the monitor
looked. How could you call someone before
hand it comes on suddenly. I was so mad I
told my cardio he actually laughed because
he never saw me so annoyed. He told me he
will yell at her. Oh great I hope she does
not have to give me any meds it will
probably be a lethal dose. ha ha I am so
happy you are getting antibiotics and
resting. Now I feel a little better about
you. Gonna go for now I have ice cream for
supper it better not be mixed with ensure.
ha ha. they brought me tuna for lunch i
absolutely hate tuna. got sick from it
years ago and never could eat it aggain. I
will eat chicken salad. you better be
eating a healthy supper. you can write to
me only if you feel like it. nice to talk
with you. still praying for ya. gotta call
luciana and see how she is. looking
forward to hearing from you. janine

Good evening,
Here's how you do it. You get a
megaphone And right before you vomit You
announce, Hear Ye Hear Ye let it be known
that Janine is planning on vomiting it
would be a noble jesture indeed if someone
could come to my aid. But be sure not to
throw up in the megaphone, as I hear
they're very hard to clean, also bad on
the battery. Ha Ha. You better hope she
doesn't give you a shot.
Just thought I'd try to cheer you up .
I know you had a stressful day. They will
watch that strep real close.I hope you are
a little more comfortable now.
Ear infections are something you often
live with while children are growing. Most
get rid of them in 2 to 3 yrs. Hopefully
it will feel better tomorrow and she'll be
able to talk to you. Glad you enjoyed the
doc's company. And by the way, you
shouln't feel guilty over Luciana being
sick. It will be fine. They say chocolate
ensure is good. Don't know never tried
it.
Hope I cheered you up a little. I know
how sick you are and really wish your
heart would get hear. Prayers will bring
it. I'll let you go. Rest up. Write when
you can. And smile alot. Everything's
good.
God Bless,
jerry

Hi. Thank you for making me laugh. You
are funny. I think it bothered me so much
because I heard Luciana crying in the
background, and when my mom in law put the
phone near her and I talked to her she
kept saying mom. I just wanted to give her
a hug. I just called and she is sleeping
so That made me happy. the same nurse
came in and apologized, and said she was
worried that is why she yelled. She must
have really got yelled at. Yeah no heart
until the pra levels go down. They are 77%
now. Between my sternum and glands I
hate to move. I have to correct myself
tuna was brought for supper and I would
not eat it and when asked what i wanted i
said ice cream i cannot swallow. vanilla
ice cream lots of whipped cream and
strawberry syrup. How are you feeling?
Better be resting and not in the garden!
How about work tommarrow? my cardio looks
so tired! I feel bad. Nice talking with
you. Get some rest. Thank you for making
me laugh. I hope I do the same for you.
get some rest. enjoy talking with you. sox
did pretty good in the yank series. I have
to go through it again on wednesday they
are playing in ny. janine

Hi,
Hope everything's Ok. Are feeling
alright today? That strep throat is still
probably going to take some time. Has the
cardio been in?
Yes I'm on lunch hour. Gotta go to hosp.
for protime and INR. Then breathing with
nebulizer. I'll write you later. Please
rest. Thinking about you. Everything's
good.
God Bless,
jerry

Hello. How do you feel. How was your
breathing treatment? I really do not feel
any better. My cardio said it is a bad
infection, and hopefully the antibiotic
will decide to kick in soon. I have to
have an echo done now and labwork. I will
be able to talk more later. Take care

Hi,
So I guess you are having an
uncomfortable day. I don't like to here
that. With your strength down it is going
to take longer for that med to work. The
sooner the better huh? I hope you had a
chance to talk to Luciana today. I'm sure
you can,t see her. Your days are probably
awfully long. Is everybody treating you
well? You deserve the best. I know your
doctor is giving his. He must be really
agonizing over you. He's probably unsure
as what to do next. I didn't ask you
lately but how are your legs? The cardio
probably wants to work on them to keep the
chance of you kicking out clots. Gotta
wait till the infection is over. Praying
for you every day.
How's Jonathan? Hope he is still getting
some help. One thing you don't need to be
doing is feeling guilty over what is
happening. Our trials sometimes are hard
to figure. This may not make you feel any
better but we are all better people
because of the strength you show. You are
a winner and your going to beat this. I
know.
I saw the kids and that made my day. My
chest still hurts but the med is working.
I will let you go for now. I'll write
later. Rest. Everything's good.
God Bless,
jerry

Hi. How are you? Glad you saw your kids,
but not glad you did not stay home and
rest. Jonathan will be away until
Probably Thursday. he called me alot
today. He is still going to support group
it is helping him alot. He cannot go while
he is away. Luciana slept most of the day,
which she needed. I talked to her on the
phone before and she was giggling so she
must feel better. My cardio is here alot
today. I have these things around my legs
for circulation. Do not know what they are
called. He did not say anything more about
the stents. Were you in the garden
tonight? Figured if you were well enough
to go to school your well enough to go in
the garden! Yes I am mad because you did
not stay home one more day. How is carol?
Does she get mad at you too or are you a
lost cause because you do not listen? Yes
I am chewing you out. Today was not too
long slept off and on. Some days do seem
like they are 100 years long. My cardio
stayed and talked with me for a while.
That was nice of him, because I know he
has other patients besides me. The nurses
are being nice to me especially the one
that yelled. my heart is beating fast is
that because of the infection? Was
kristen happy to see you? I t was nice to
hear from you. I will be up you can write
me back if you feel like it. Praying for
you. janine

Good evening. Hope your ok after chewing
on me. Must have worn you out. Ok you were
right but if I'm gone too long I worry
about them. Kristen was smiling but very
snotty. She was drueling alot which is
typical of rett syndrom. No i did not go
to the garden today. Too windy. I walked
over to our girls softball game, which is
right across from our home ,which is
across from the school and we happen to
live in the church parsonage. Everything's
close.
I'm glad everyone is treating you well. I
don't worry as much. Your doc will
eventually stent your calf. Can not afford
blood clots. Tell Jonathan I said hello. I
think your doctor feels he's got alot
riding on your well being. He aims to win
and he will. And yes Carol does get mad at
me. So I'm not a lost cause. You have a
good night and sweet dreams. I'll write in
the morning. Everything's good.
God Bless,
jerry

Hi. So carol and I have our hands full
with you? If i did not care I would not
say anything. you have become a very good
friend. We have been wtitting for only a
little over a month it seems longer. I
have to stay up my cardio said he is
coming back at 9pm. I hope he can give me
something for my throat and glands and
sternum. I feel so silly complaining about
a throat, but it feels like knives are in
my throat. I hope there is some relief
tommarrow. Sorry for my whining. How are
you feeling? I just do not want you to
get worse that is why I get mad. I will
tell Jonathan You said hello. I know my
cardio has alot on his plate. That is why
I try and listen. I do not want to make
his job any harder. I trust him alot. He
tells me when to worry and not to worry.
If you are up you can write. If not i will
talk to you tommarrow. Thank you for your
time and friendship. Janine
