Physically, Janeen's biggest challenge is her balance and the weakness on her right side. Assistance is needed for her to stand or walk. She also tends to favor her left hand, while being teased that she's just wanting to join the rest of the lefties in the family (ex: John, Jadeyn and Jolee).
This past Saturday Janeen and John went on a special date to a program called WAGS. Where dogs are brought in as therapy for patients. Janeen became quite taken too by a black lab named Zeke, to which she tossed a tennis ball for quite awhile. This did, however, trigger Janeen's desire to want a dog even more!
Janeen is not impatient nor complaining but is working hard, knowing she has a job to do before she can return home to her beautiful girls. Jadeyn and Jolee are doing great but naturally miss their mom and dad.
From now on news will be posted as it is received; however we are now in the long haul with the main focus on therapy, therapy, therapy. Please feel free to leave comments for Janeen, for the messages are shared with her from time to time and mean so much!!
Miracles happen when our will and God's power cooperate.
J, you could have our Rocky dog as much you want/need! He would be so happy to see all of his Rheinecker family buddies again!!! Know that I am thinking & praying for you, John & your gorgeous, sweet girls every day, my friend! Keep up the good work sista! Much love, Jennifer Cust
ReplyDeleteHi - I work out at the Meyer center, and I'm a bud of Amesa's. My wife and I also said hello to Janeen and her brother at the Qudoba on Sunshine a number of months ago. I have a big white standard poodle therapy dog (Pippin) and we visited Janeen one time when she was at Cox Walnut Lawn. She seemed to enjoy Pippin alot as did he. When we returned to Cox WL for our next visit and Janeen wasn't there, Amesa said she had transferred. Please know that we're praying for you. Nelson Knapp and Pippin

ReplyDeleteJaneen,
ReplyDeleteI think about you every day. I can't wait until you are back in Springfield and we can finally get something in the books for "girls night". I have been going through some of my childhood videos and you are in a lot of them. When you come home I will bring them over and show them to you. They are soo funny to watch. I saw your dad and girls at HHCC the other night. Along with this website, they also keep me posted. Take care and I will see you soon.
BTW--I am not sure you know, but I am engaged. Our wedding is set for 10-9-10.
