Tuesday was a much better day for Jenny. . .she was able to get up more and even put on a warm-up outfit. It snowed here from 7:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. with about 3-4" of fluffy dry snow. Since we heard it would be considerably more snow south of here, we decided to stay put for another day. It also helped her test the new medication, and it's working without nausea. It was a good quiet day of being together before we're back to the work routine.
We feel like Dorothy returning to Kansas in "The Wizard of Oz" - we just want to get home to St. Louis! We'll stop in Bloomington-Normal for a quick lunch break, then continue on south (about 3+ hours) and will be back by 4:00 p.m.
We have truly felt the positive impact of prayer through the entire 6 days here - the surgery went better than expected; the hospital and nursing care was outstanding; the hotel was very close; the doctor and physician's assistant were excellent; it was great that Twila could join us for the weekend; Jenny met a new Christian friend from Canada; and so many have shared their love and support in some other very special ways!
We thank you all for being there when we often needed an extra measure of hope and encouragement. We praise God for the healing thus far and for leading us through this.
Jenny will continue to update the blog from here on. She will be at our home recuperating for the next 6-7 weeks and will return to work as soon as possible next week. She would love to hear from you at j.eickhorst@sbcglobal.net or 636-939-9151.
Abundant blessings,
Gretchen Eickhorst

Glad to hear you're on your way home! STL is ready and waiting :) Praying for a speedy recovery and complete healing.
Love,

Jenny: Bet you can't wait to get back to your folks to get pampered, you lucky dog. No, not much about recuperating is lucky, is it? Will be praying for your comfort, for good rest, and good eats (thanks to Gretchen!)
Love You!
