Pain management is at least as effective as it was in the hospital but her sleep last night was a thousand times better.
One foot in front of the other.

We brought Shelly home with us yesterday afternoon. Her sisters were here too and we went for a walk! Shelly wanted to. It was a slow walk but she did it.

Hello dear Waxmans and dearest Shelly. Yes indeed! There is no place like home! I am so glad to have this news and to know know that you are home Shelly. I hope the day is as sunny as it is here and that the sunshine warms you. Much love to everyone, Alice
Shelly, Aunt Sally and I are so looking forward to seeing you on Friday....I even had exit rows on the aisle reserved so we could de-plane more quickly...then I remembered to call and ask for a wheel chair and the meenie said the computer will not allow me to order a wheel chair for you while you are holding exit row seats...So they caught us!!!!But the terrorists with their guns and bombs get by????????????Love UnkE, remember do not give all your hugs away, save some for us

Shelly’s ‘NEVER GIVE UP’ Poem
So I promised you a poem, one that will rhyme
should I write this one quick, or take my time?
You said ‘don’t plagiarize Suess’, don’t steal his line,
but this isn’t from him, this one is all mine.
So I’ll start with today, I think it went swell,
meeting the Waxman’s- Harv, Judy and El.
With a family as welcoming and kind as this,
how could I not give you a hug and a kiss?
So we laid on your bed sharing cookies and fears
We had some laughs and shed a few tears.
You’ve opened your heart, you’ve opened your soul,
and, yes, these overwhelming emotions do take a toll.
But NEVER GIVE UP, as you promised me today,
fight this illness, make it go away!
Let people care, let them give you a hand
ask for a favor, make a demand.
Drink your Ensure and swallow your fish,
Allow yourself to hope, to savor a wish.
People love you, not just Oliver, your pup
so do as you promised…. AND NEVER GIVE UP!!
