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 27th 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.

  2. HI Janeen!
    Don't you look great as a baldy!! I just ran across the absolutel cutest picture of Boston and Jaedyn when I was cleaning out my closet. They were sitting on the hill at Raley field (what great memories) and Boston said something and Jaedyn was laughing hysterically!! Thought you would enjoy the memory! Keep fightin' hard girl, I think of you all of the time. If I could figure out how to send a picture to you, I would send it & of our new little guy, Broch AnnDrew, who was 2 months on the 14th.
    Take Care,
    Ann, Chris, Boston, Burke-Lee and Broch Mabeus

  4. One step closer....

    Rehab = "Everyday giving your all -- the 110% effort that you expect from yourself, a gift to yourself."
    No one knows just how strong you are, so fight the fight, push yourself and know that I am soooo proud of you. Miss you.
    All my love, Cece
