Home

Mike ate everything they served him at the hospital Thursday night and Friday through lunch. The doctors released him and we came home Friday afternoon. He has been doing fine since he got out. He said it is a lot easier to get into a hospital than it is to get out of one.
He walked into the house, teared up and kept saying "It's so good to be home!"
He has a renewed appreciation for food, family, home and freedom.
We will return to M.D. Anderson and our team of doctors there after Christmas with all of the ex-rays and C.T. Scans from his 8 day stay in the local hospitals. Not sure what they may find when they compare films with the ones they will make and his old ones. Until then we will thank the Lord for answering all our prayers.

Sorry for not making sure you knew he had been released. We walked into a family gathering at my sisters house on Saturday and several people were shocked to see him. It is hard to keep a large family of relatives and friends informed.
We went to the Big 12 Championship game Saturday night and it was quite a treat. Longhorn football seemed to be just what the doctor ordered. However, I thought I might have to take him back to the hospital after that heart stopping finish. I'm sure I would have if Texas had lost
the game.
We continue to Praise God for He is Sovereign and in control of all things when we do understand what's going on in our lives and when we don't have a clue what He's doing.
Isaiah 55:8-9
Thanks to all of you for the prayers, visits, cards, calls, gifts and standing with us.
Enjoying each day,
Jan

Good Morning Mike. Hope you are feeling better. I was sitting at my desk and was thinking of the past here at Mid Cities Physical Therapy Clinic. What a wonderful adventure we all had. "JORDAN" ECHO'S down the hall. Please take care and hope you and family have a wonderful Christman. Mike, please tell your Mother hi for me. Linda Jordan

Sitting here tonight thinking of our sweet Janszen memories! I'm praying Mike continues to feel great and enjoy sweet family time through the holidays. Sorry I didn't get to see you at the hospital. It seems I've had more coughs this year than ever before. I didn't want to take a chance.
I love you and wish you all a very merry Christmas! Call if you are this way :)
Brenda
