Brian is on the mend. He is getting TPN for 16 hours each day, and I'm getting the hang of all the details to get it all going. He looks good, the best he has since his surgery, in my opinion. He is still tired, but some of that goes along with the significant amount of medication he is taking.
The great weather has been inspirational in getting him outside with the kids. The pump itself is fairly convenient, so it seems almost like he's not even doing anything out of the ordinary.
We head to Columbia on Wed. for a check-up, then hope to enjoy time with family over the weekend.
Thanks again for your constant prayers and support.

- Jenni Halley
- I am a 38 year-old single mother of 3 beautiful, fun, smart, amazing children. I am one of the two families raising my two daughters (thanks to a divorce from my 1st husband), and I am raising my son alone (thanks to melanoma killing my 2nd husband). I enjoy using this blog to journal my feelings.
About This Blog
I have recently shifted the focus of this blog back to follow the title. I fight melanoma everyday in the loss of Brian, in the loss of the girls' stepdad, and in the loss of Tye's daddy. At the one year anniversary of Brian's death, I decided to start a new blog about our family. I am keeping this blog to continue to share things on melanoma and other cancers, and rant and rave about how much it sucks to be a widow. It seemed in my mind that the time had come to split those. Please see the link below to visit my new blog. http://www.momto3gr8kidz.blogspot.com/

"Just Skin Cancer?"
Aside from my focus to care for my husband and children, I'm on a mission to save you too! Below are websites to help keep you safe from melanoma, and hopefully educate you on this deadly beast that has invaded our life and worn down an otherwise healthy man. I pray that what I've learned might help prevent melanoma, or at least lead to early detection, as well as provide information on basal and squamous cell carcinomas. I hope to channel this wealth of unwelcome information to make a positive impact on your lives, as you are all as precious to your families and friends as Brian is to ours. Please contact me if I can help you with resources or answer questions.

Okay, so I finally got the hang of this blogging thing. I have been avoiding it. forget those my spacers and face book, this is much more important... Prayers your way as you head south tomorrow. Hopefully they won't make you wait too long this time. I think we should get T shirts that say "Melasuckanoma" and then put something on the back for all those people who say, that they are shocked that a little skin cancer could cause all this. Tori prayed for Brian tonight at bedtime, and thought of it all by herself. She also prayed for Ed(the beagle in the rain) I thought it was pretty cute.
Just wanted to let you know you're in our thoughts and prayers today. I spent all of last week at Ellis but this week I'm only there Monday and Thursday, so I missed an opportunity to pass you in the halls today. I know it isn't a happy place. I was thankful last week to see flowers on display -- some signs of spring that I will interpret as hope. We need all the little boosters we can get along this terrible journey.
