Heading out

Things are still moving at breakneck speed... Trish is scheduled to be released from Sloan-Kettering tomorrow, Wed. April 14th!  Doctors are very happy with her progress following surgery.  She was sitting up the day after surgery, and soon after was enjoying a shower and occasional strolls down the hallway.  She has commented again and again on the staff of Sloan... their level of professionalism, courtesy and most of all, compassion... from staff members of every level.  She has enjoyed her nurses so much that she has been stuffing money in their pockets, just like any favorite gray-haired auntie would do.

Trish will remain in the Big Apple with niece Jenny for a few days until she feels up to the 2.5 hour drive back to Absecon.  She is scheduled for a follow-up appointment with Dr. Chi the following Wed. April 21st.  We shall hold our collective breath and say prayers that our next miracle comes that day... he will likely have biopsy results by then.

Trish sends warm thanks for all the lovely flowers, notes, cards, emails and comments she has received.  So many generous offers of help and kindness are also rolling in as we get ready to welcome Trish home and prepare for chemotherapy in a few weeks.  Stay tuned for further details, and keep sending up prayers, positive thoughts and healing vibes!
