Hello from the bubble ward! I'm feeling better. While I miss my hair, I think I look pretty cool as a bald chick. Very GI Jane. My counts are starting to come back up!!! Yahooo!!! The doc says they will rise "exponentially." BRING IT ON! I'm ready to get out of here.
OK first props go to Aunt Pat, Uncle Ken, Aunt Marilyn, and Grandma Heininger.
Aunt Pat and Uncle Ken put in for An Offering of Masses for Comfort and Healing which consists of a remembrance in the celebration of the Holy Mass every day and in the prayers and good works of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement - Graymoor all around the world. They also enrolled me in the special Masses for Comfort and Healing, which includes Daily Mass celebrated by the Franciscan Friars of Atonement - Graymoor through out the world, prayers and good works of all Friars around the world, and Remembrance in the Solemn Novenas at Christmas, Easter, the Feast of St. Anthony, Our Lady's Assumption, and the Perpetual Novena to St. Anthony. THANK YOU!
Aunt Marilyn and Grandma Heininger put in for a remembrance for one year in a Daily Mass offered at St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City in the Masses and prayers of the Servite Community. This is very special to me because my mom, sister and I went to Italy last year and visited St. Peters Basilica at the Vatican, so I know exactly what it is. St. Peters is a very beautiful and spiritual place. Really cool. THANK YOU!
I think I'm covered on the religious end of things.
Mom H - Things are progressing on schedule. I think I'm over the halfway mark, and am starting to really think about how nice it will to be home.
Amy - Wow, your experience flying around in Alaska sounds really cool! And thank you, I like my ears too. Lucky I don't have Barack Obama ears!
Wendy - Now I know you know this - but thinking about exercise DOES NOT count!

Happy Wednesday GI Jenette!
I know that in your post you said you think you are covered on the religious end of things, but I would like to add one thing.
Every day when I think of you in your "bubble" and what you are going through, a song that I remember from camp comes to mind. It is based on a great verse, Isaiah 40:31.
I know you are dissapointed that I can't sing it for you, but here it is.
Those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
As your cell counts click upward, I picture you walking, running, flying and doing anything you could do before and MORE!!
For now you should probably take it easy on the cart wheels in the hallway. That place is probably full of sharp objects.
Have a great day!!
Mark O
Hi Jenette
Hope you are having a good day. What a wonderful note from Mark O.
On August 6, the day you entered the hospital--and maybe Greg told you this--the Daily Word reading included an affirmation "I am a child of God and therefore I do not inherit sickness." I truly believe this in your case. Love you so much. You are doing a great job!!
Mom H.
