Bolt Out Of The Blue

 Almost two full years, almost to the day, have passed since I wrote on this blog.  

I mentioned Jolynn's cancer-free diagnosis in that last post and then I stopped writing...typical Miserable Redhead writing pattern.  Even at this moment, my writer's block threatens to paralyze my thoughts but what I have to say right now is too important to sedate my words.

Jolynn's cancer has come back, morphing from MDS into AML Leukemia.  This diagnosis has been unfolding while we spent the last few weeks picking ourselves up off the ground from the impact from this dreadful meteor, out of the blue.

I am struggling to find the words this evening so I will keep this short for now.  I will use this forum to post updates on her health. I will relay your comments to her that you leave on this blog.  Your encouraging texts to her phone are always welcome; but know that she may not be up to the task of responding to you.  Please don't take it personally.  She will be fighting for her life.

The Plan as we know it:  Jolynn will be admitted into the hospital tomorrow - 8/31/24.  Her doctor will begin daily chemo treatments and this will likely continue over the next four weeks......yes, four weeks in the hospital. 

If you want to send a card, please mail it to the address below and I'll deliver it to her, to bring your support and optimism to her hospital room.

PO Box 1299

McMinnville, OR 97128

We will get through this jawdropping debacle, one long day at a time.  She persevered in 2020 and she will do it again!  

Thank you for your love and support. 💙💙

Hey. I've heard there are some problems with being able to leave a comment. Yikes.
Sorry - I've tried to fix that issue.
