GONG!!!

Janeen has successfully completed her 6 weeks of PROTON radiation!! She rang it in with a loud ring of the gong! John and her parents were there to witness the success while staff members embraced her with many hugs and congratulations.

She will remain in Houston continuing her PT/OT/ST at TIRR while awaiting her 30-day post radiation follow up MRI. Janeen and her family are evaluating all rehab hospitals to determine where Janeen will go next to continue on her road to recovery.

More information will be posted as it received. Please continue to keep Janeen in your thoughts and prayers. She is truly grateful for the out pouring of support she has received. Hopefully soon Janeen will be making a blog post herself…

On a mission....

Janeen and John were able to make a short but sweet visit back home to celebrate the holiday with family and a few friends. It meant so much to them to spend time with their girls on Christmas. Janeen was also able to meet and hold her dear friend’s Alice baby boy Charlie. It was obvious how quickly that warmed her heart.

When they arrived in Houston on the 27^th they immediately started back with radiation. She will complete the treatments mid- January. However her next mission will begin shortly after. Further rehab is the up most important thing for Janeen. She is ready to do whatever she has to do to get back to functioning on her own. Difficulties still exist in her speech, balance and ability to walk.

Janeen has come to the realization that this is a mission she will take head on no matter what is required. She is ready to fight hard so she can return home fully recovered, surrounded by her girls with nursing school on the horizon. She is determined to win, however long she will have to fight to get there.

Please keep Janeen in your thoughts and prayers for her journey continues.
