Another Sad Day

Hello friends and family,

How so very much I wish that I could pass some good news...........
It was a long stressful day for many of us, and I shall simply pass on the primary news. I did spend the Tuesday/Wednesday night with her and tried to comfort her.

Janet remained in intensive care for the day on Wednesday. There were no new treatments, no new tests, no procedures. It was a day of rest and review and waiting while we hoped for movement to be restored to her legs. There were a number of meetings with doctors, nurses and specialists. There is too much to recount.

On Wednesday evening, I asked Janet what we should say for the day. As she lay quietly in her bed this evening surrounded by Aleta, Robin Blendell, Carol Handwerker, and myself, Janet said:
"Today I was very depressed. My legs have lost all their feeling. We are working on a plan of recovery and I have not lost hope."

Yes, we have not given up hope, but the prospects for a recovery from this latest setback are not good.
Friends and family have responded. GW will be with her in the evening hours on Wednesday. Joan Chouili will spend the late evening and early Thursady morning hours with Janet. My brotehr is coming down form Boston tomorrow. We want for a family or friend to be with her to lend her comfort and support. Some of you have kindly offered to help, and yes, I think we shall call upon your help. Aleta, Carol, or I may be in contact with you, but please be patient. Events and circumstances are changing daily.

I wish that I could say that our prayers and thoughts have been answered. Please do not give up. Janet hasn't.
