Wed. 1:00pm. Bonnie just called me to report all our fears.
Lynn's cancer has taken over her liver and there is no longer anything the doctors can do. The pain is NOT yet under control.
Beverly & Debbie are in Jackson & they will help Lynn decide whether to stay in the hospital or come to the Sublette Center in Pinedale.
Can't see the keyboard through the tears & sorrow.

Back in the Hospital
Note from Judi:
Lynn called her daughter Beverly in Vegas & said, "Come". Beverly called me to go to the house. (What beautiful, new house-dresses Lynn has. Thank you, Gloria?) Lynn didn't want to go to the hospital, but I got hold of a friend who is an EMT and she came to the house (she came as Kris, but I know she was an angel). She knew exactly what to ask Lynn, she made the right phone calls (even connected with Dr. Kap) and the ambulance took Lynn to Jackson. They left the house at 7:45pm Monday night.
Kris is in the brown vest. Lynn's eyes were yellow & Kris said she was dehydrated.
If you double click on the above picture, you can see that Lynn is waving to me.
Kris & her husband, Chuck. See the halo over her head? I actually called my friend Vicky B and asked her to contact Kris, which was a good thing because Vicky had her cell phone #. Chuck & Kris were at a BBQ & he brought Kris right up. Beverly will leave Vegas early this morning (Tuesday) & be in Jackson tonight. All Lynn needs right now are your prayers.

No Calls or Visitors, Please
Note from Judi about Lynn's recovery:
Here is an old picture from 1980s when Lynn & I hiked from Lamaroux Meadows by Big Sandy Openings to their ranch. It was quite a hike!
Lynn asked me to put this message on her blog for her to let everyone know that she is OK.
Lynn is grateful for the overwhelming concern and amount of help she has received. However, she needs another week (2 weeks would be even better) of rest, peace & quiet so she can just sleep and get better. She would be greatly appreciative. She wants the phone lines open only for the nurse & the hot lunch delivery. She is not ready for any visitors and they do not need any food. Even Lynn's daughters are not going to call her.
Lynn thanks everyone for respecting her wishes & for understanding.

HOME! Tuesday Aug 4 - 1:45pm
Update from Judi:
Lynn was released from the hospital this morning and is now home at Arrowhead. Joe is here too. Lynn rested all the way home & after she came inside, she went straight to bed, & immediately began feeling nauseous (that spelling doesn't look right. Sorry). So, we are letting her rest with a cold washcloth on her neck - and a plastic bucket.
She is asking her friends not to call her just yet. If you want to leave comments here, I will relay them to her. I am staying here at least for tonight & Wed nights. Bonnie sent Lasagna over with Joe, so we are well stocked. In fact, the freezer here is full. Joe & I made up a shopping list & we could only find 3 items that were needed.
Lynn thanks you all for caring so much.

Sunday 11am Update from Judi
The artist Judy Meyer, who lives in Colorado, sent this picture to me for Lynn. Perhaps it is how Lynn is feeling about now.Bonnie sent me an email to report that Lynn is quite tired & still weak and she will NOT be coming home today. I tried to call Lynn's room a couple times & no answer, so I will leave her alone to rest. Bonnie said that Lynn needs peace & quiet for now.

From Beverly & Debbie. Fri 2pm
To all our mom's friends and famiily:
There are no words and not enough hugs in the world to thank all of our mom's friends for always being there for her, for your selfless service, and always there at the drop of a hat to care for her. There are so many of you that we don't even know but we hear about each and everyone of you!
This is such a difficult time for us being so far away, but we have so much comfort in knowing she is surrounded by family and friends who are beautiful angels. May Heavenly Father's blessings rain down on all of you and give you the joy that you deserve. You are all shining examples to us each and every day and we can only hope and pray that we will have such wonderful friends when we are in the same position.
Adoringly yours,
Beverly and Debbie

Friday 11am Update
Bonnie just called from the hospital and I am delighted to let you all know that Lynn is feeling better - they even let her take a shower this morning! She is still on antibiotics and pain meds, of course.
Bonnie said that Joe visited yesterday (Thursday) about 4:00 and seemed very happy to see Lynn. Aubrey brought him up. They did not stay overnight.
Carol from Oncology also visited Lynn and said that the CT Scan she had Tuesday (I mistakenly said earlier that it was an MRI), besides showing the appendix infection, also showed that the cancer was unchanged. Praise be! No chemo for at least a month. Then they will reevaluate.
