First of all, Diane is doing great. Went to the Dr today and he removed the last tube in her body: JP Tube (this was her feeding tube and drain tube). She is left with some small wound repair but really feels a lot better with all tubes gone. The nurse couldn't believe that Diane had a "whipple" (she is so far ahead of the normal whipple patient). Diane walks, climbs stairs, rides in the car, and even has done Costco! She now needs to work on strength and stamina. And I am so impressed with change in her skin color (the redness she has had in her face for 5 yrs. is gone!). I don't know whats next, but I see a very bright future with more strength than shes had for years.
I just want to thank you again for sharing Diane's blog with her. Jeff

Costco now I know for sure Diane your feeling better. Great news to hear of all your activity, although sounds like your way to busy. Katie needs to put a leash on you...Soon there will nothing to read on this blog except baby stories from proud Grandparents. As Jeff says a bright future for many more years to come. I'm not sure about the redness in your face Diane, I think your beautiful with those rosie red cheeks. Stay well. Love Ksthy & Randy
You are doing awesome mom. I would have never expected to be enjoying lunch out with you an Dad so soon as we did the other day. Can't tell you how special that was to Christine and I! Can't wait for the "wound care" to end now for you and continued great news. Don't let the news of the doc visits get you down in the coming months -- it will be a nice piece of mind for all in the many months and years to come :-).
And Dad, a very special Happy Birthday to you today!!! We'll have a special toast at DeAnn's 40th celebration today for you. See you both soon.
Love, Marc
