Bettie Jane Update

Everyone has provided a lot of support to Bettie. She is very grateful to everyone. On Thursday she and the family went to the doctors for her followup. She will be meeting with the Doctor who will handle the Chemotherapy next week.

Bettie has been up and about since her surgery. She is feeling good. This time with her family seems to be working wonders for her. Hopefully we can get Carrie to update us in the near future.

Reminder, I know everyone wants to visit with Bettie. This is fine, but please remember that short visits are better. The more we let her recover now the longer visits we can have in 15 years :). Positive love is the best medicine.

On the love note, Donna Dorsey dropped off 17 Happy Pink Bears from different people. The Bears are to help BJ through the process. The basket of love came with a poem written by Donna.

When the days seem long and hard to bear
Isn’t it nice to be reminded, somebody cares
To look around the room and let your eyes find
Cheer, warmth, brightness, just the right kind
In every corner, baskets of care
Filled to the rim with pink teddy bears
Each comes from someone who cares,

Some dressed in a tutu, like prima ballerinas
Others with boas, tappin toes, jazzy little divas!
Plie`, tendu, Arabesque, releve`
Flap ball change, Shuffle step, dancing all the day!
They’re so proud to entertain,
to bring a smile, to ease the pain.

So pick them up; give them a hug
They want to let your know
Through all this, you are never alone
Your warmth and your friendship
Has touched their souls
They bring all their love, dancingly yours!
Pink Teddy Bears – Baskets of CARE!!!


The Bears are being looked after currently by Madison, Bettie Jane's oldest granddaughter. So no worries about their feeding and loving sessions; they are being expertly handled by an exceptional little girl.
