End of June update

I'm sorry it's been so long since I wrote.

Jamie is doing really well. She is 2/3 of the way through this second phase of chemo. 4 more treatments, then 4 weeks off, then surgery, then radiation.

This phase has been much easier. Jamie is working full days, and although she is usually tired, her attitude has been great.

We have been staying busy and having fun.

We could still use help with food--it's tough for us to cook on weeknights.

Thank you for your encouragement and prayers!

  1. I would love to set up Meal Train for you! It's an online calendar where people can sign up to bring you meals. It also gives ideas on etiquette, like these:

    *When dropping off a meal, plan not to stay more than 10-15 minutes.

    *If there are children in the household, consider including a special toy or treat for them to help with what may be a transitional time.

    *If possible, deliver your meal in a recyclable or reusable container.

    *Be sure to label any items that you would like returned to you. Include a large paper bag that the recipient can use to store your items until you can coordinate a pick-up date in the future with the recipient.

    *Include clear preparation instructions, i.e. "Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

    WHAT DO YOU THINK? I COULD SET THIS UP FOR THE REST OF JULY? - Bonnie

  2. Okay. So you ARE on mealtrain.com. GREAT! I am really out of the loop without facebook, etc. Just in case anyone wants to know, mealtrain protects the recipients because their personal information (example: their HOME address!) is on the site. So in order to utilize this for Jamie, you will need to contact Todd so he can "invite" you to jump in there and sign up to bring meals.

    Now that I have that all straight, have a Happy 4th of July!
