for Janet and Katie

[Emma]

Janet,
I know there are other open threads for Katie but I know you are off on Katie's journey to the hospital tomorrow and wanted you to know how much we are thinking of you - you've not been out of my thoughts at all and I had my class send thoughts to you both at the end of the day today like I will on Monday too.
Cannot wait to see your 'Katie is doing well' message! I will be scouring the boards for messages next week.
I sometimes find it quite surreal that Chloe and I both care so much for someone in a different continent but care we do! So we are sending every positive vibe there is and know she is going to sail through with flying colours and be competing with Chloe for 'Little Miss Cheeky 2005' in no time!
You take us with you in thoughts
Loads of love and hugs
Emma and Chloe

Oh, Emma..........

Oh, Emma..........

You're a doll. Thank you. I have to admit that I am bordering on the dysfunctional today...............I have been trying to squash anxiety attacks all day...........you know that knot in the pit of your stomach, sweaty palms, tingly fingers...............that feeling you get right before you repel out of a chopper..........or geez! that same feeling I had about fourteen months ago...............

Got to get back to packing. I will check back in tonight as you know I won't be sleeping.......................sigh! Thank you so much. Many, many hugs. Janet

Dear Janet,

I rarely post, and I've never talked to you in person, but please know that I'm thinking about you, Katie, and Trip.

Betta fish is one strong fish. I had one, and that supposedly-tropical fish survived the freezing New York winter, one incident where I almost sent him down the drain...literally, while changing his water, and came out of that winter having grown twice in size. Katie's Friend is an amazingly tough fish, and I believe that Katie herself is as strong as, or even stronger than, her Friend.

Please take care of yourself, and best of luck to Katie for her surgery. Also, good luck to Trip for stepping up to the plate to raise the two newest family members.

Go give 'em some nekkie-butt antics in Ann Arbor, Katie! You'll be racing around again in no time! She will, Mom. Stay tough.

All the best and only the best,

P. J.

So many thoughts and prayers for you. I look forward to the good news post on Katie's surgery.

Janet,

I am looking forward to seeing a smiling Katie sitting up in bed with a grinning Janet sitting next to her next Saturday.

You have our love, prayers, hugs and anything else you need. Just shout.

Look forward to hearing that the train ride was fun, but most of all looking forward to hearing that Katie is on the other side of the mountain and that Mom is greatly relieved. You both will be in all our thoughts and hearts - we only wish we could do more to make this journey easier.

Janet,
The 12th is my brother's birthday, so we have all kinds of good omens going for Katie's surgery! Have a great train ride, and we'll be waiting to hear a good report!

A special card!

A special card!

Dear Janet, Bruna's sitting at the kitchen table right now making that special card for Katie which will be posted on Monday. I hope she'll like it. Remember, a few days from now you'll be posting great news in here. God bless and take care! Please, keep in touch!!

Told you I was dysfunctional.............

Told you I was dysfunctional.............

...............that feeling you get right before you repel out of a chopper..........Janet

I knew something didn't feel right.............guess my subconscience (sp?) took over cuz I was always repelled by rapelling.......... heehee! I hate heights and rapelling was always my biggest fear in OCS - oh, so many years ago................sheesh! if I had only known then what I know now...........I would gladly rapel out of a chopper 1000 times than do what we are about to embark on................we leave in just a little while.........

Thank you all so much again. And Nia I hope you are so right about Katie's Friend........... Many grateful hugs. Janet

Janet,
I use to skydive. I now know that it was good practice for facing the anxiety of OHS. I'd hate to do either again, but I suppose I will.

When do you think you'll have an opportunity to post again?
