Home and Resting

From Morry:

I finally spoke to Jenn tonight, and it was so wonderful to hear her voice. She has been home from the hospital since Saturday afternoon. She's uncomfortable, exhausted and in a lot of pain, but all of that is to be completely expected. She's got drainage tubes that require tending, and it was discovered that she's got a silver dollar-sized blister on her back that is adding to her discomfort. She's also very emotional - the tears come easily - again, to be completely expected. But Jenn being Jenn, she was still her wonderful lighthearted self on the phone in between the tears, able to crack jokes about the Super Bowl's half time show. Oh Beyonce....

At any rate, she wanted to make one shout out to her dad, who stayed with her through the first night at the hospital. Not only did that allow Tony to be at home with the kids, it was a tough night for Jenn and she doesn't think she could have made it without him there by her side. She's had a lot of support, of course, from all of her family, but she is, after all, still daddy's girl (my words, not hers, but I suspect she'd agree). Having him by her side through one of the roughest spells meant the world to her.

Tomorrow, Monday, is another big day: she will learn the complete biopsy report of the tumor that was removed. She'll know the stage of the cancer and how aggressive it is. Those results will dictate whether or not she'll have to undergo chemotherapy and radiation. So, once again, everyone is praying for good news. I'll post results when I get them.

On a final note (again - Jenn being Jenn) - she wants everyone to know that she hasn't checked her voicemail, texts or emails since her surgery (to which I responded: "I should hope not!"). At any rate, she knows that she's got well-wishers out there who may be trying to reach her, so please understand that she's simply otherwise engaged. :)
