Thank God We're Home

Hi folks

Johanne and I arrived home around 1:00 this afternoon after 30 hours of travel.... I've never been so emotionally and physically drained..... but it's not about me is it? Johanne went through hell during the 30 hours. The 10 hour layover in Caracas was the worst because the people so condescending and unhelpful for any information... it was quite an ordeal and we were glad to be on a jet bound for Canada..... even if Johanne was hospitalized in Toronto things would be better, but she made it back to Halifax.

We came home for just enough time to shower and then we headed straight for the QE II in Halifax. We got there around 4:00 and they put her in a room there withing minutes. Doctors reviewed the CT scans we brought from Peru and they felt there is no tumor but a mass of puss and fluid from the infection. They kept the scans to have specialists review them tomorrow. They gave us the option to stay in hospital over night or go home and monitor..... ya Joey-Lynn opted to go home and sleep in our bed tonight.... I can't wait.

We just walked through the door and write this while grabbing some stew Joey-Lynn's mother cooked for us. Home cooking...... mmmmmmmmm (in Homers voice).

We are completely overwhelmed by the out pouring of support and concern from everyone. I wrote the blog so I only had to write it once for family and friends.... We were amazed at how many people emailed us that they were praying for us and watching our progress through my blog. With so many it's impossible for me to reply to everyone, but know that I have read every comment, every email, every message. I know Joey-Lynn will go through them as well but I wanted to thank you all for your support and prayers.

A lot of you want to hear about the circumstances leading up to Joey-Lynn's illness, keep checking the blog as I'll post pictures of the trip and write about our ordeal.

It's so good to be home
