The great escape . . . is coming

Ladies and gentlemen, fresh air is around the corner.

As of this afternoon JR's neutrophil level has DOUBLED! She's now at a high enough level that they'll let her leave - soon. She's trying not to get her hopes up but there's a chance our dear JennyReeder will get to leave tomorrow. (Say prayers & cross fingers, everyone.) Tuesday is her last day of chemo and if she's still doing as well, she is going to get to go outside and eat fresh fruits and vegetables again!

If that news wasn't exciting enough, today JennyReeder is trying on hats - lots of hats. I imagine it's like an 80s chick flick in her room today. Weren't the girls in those movies always trying on hats and laughing? Apparently she's trying on all kinds of hats that people have sent her. She says she looks stylin'. How could she not? She did mention that she's going to look for some kind of hat liner since her head now has a different texture and putting a hat straight on her head doesn't quite feel the same.

The prayers are working, so keep them coming. Just think, our girl could be out soon!

Love the pic from Study Abroad! I remember that little break we took in Wales--must have been on the way to Ireland.

It is so encouraging that things keep heading in the right direction! I wish I had some good ideas on how to tie scarves. I only know one way to tie one around my neck! And I loved the hot pink wig a couple of posts back. You can totally do any look you choose.

Keep fighting the good fight, knowing you have armies all around cheering you on. I love you!
