To know Joey and Kerri is to love them. The news of both of them being diagnosed with cancer is heartbreaking. We've created this site so that you can get updates, offer help, and use the guest book to write thoughts of encouragement and love. The outpouring of love and support they are receiving is very wanted and appreciated, however there will be times in the future when the Lynchs may not be able to keep up with phone calls and visits. Please use this site as an alternative means to stay connected.

He is sleeping so sound. Didn't get to spend much time with the kids. I can only imagine what 2am is going to bring!?! Certainly a big turn from this am.
I want to thank you all for understanding us when we asked for peace and quiet. Because of that, I do believe it has put Joey on the fast track to being up and about.
Tomorrow hopefully brings more answers for me. Dr. Rutstein's office is suppose to be coordinating my appointments so they all happen this week while I am here...her office, the plastic surgeon, etc. I cannot tell you how pleased we all are with the care Joey has and is receiving. Hopefully my experience will be the same. I told the nurses that we are being really nice because we have to be back here to do this all over again soon. I want the same nurses and the same room Joey has! It is so nice. I wish the Sea Dogs were playing right now...looking out over their field. Beautiful sunny day here.

    Kerri- if you're up at 2 with Joey, and up now with us online- are you getting any sleep?!? They make this wondeful over the counter pill called Tylenol PM (but you don't just have to take it in the PM)- next time Joey goes out for a bit- take advantage and join him!!! I used to slip these to Dave the nights before his big tests in vet school--- for my sake not for his :) !!!
    So happy to hear that Joe is getting some sleep and having some peace- maybe all he needed was his whole family there to put him at ease a bit.
    Love you guys- Keep on "racing" forward- Dave, Casey, Luke and Reese

    Kerri and Joey, We are hoping and praying that Joey grows stronger and healthier every day. Sounds like he had the ride of his life last night. I hope he can remember that when he is feeling better and laugh about it! As for you, I am so pleased to hear how happy are with Joey's care and that you have decided to use the same team for your treatment. The faith that you hold in your doctor's has a LOT to do with your healing. Again, I am so grateful for this blog so that we can stay up to date with both of you without having to call and disturb you. I can't wait to see you the next time I am in Maine. Love to your whole family, Becca (Kirkland)

    Kerri and Joey,

    Just want you to know that you are in my and Jay's morning prayers daily. I know that with your poitive attitude and faith you will overcome this challenge. I also wanted to mentiion that I do believe that the hospital has a volunteer Reiki program. I do volunteer at CCOM and one of the things that I hear from the patients is that Reiki helps with nausea. Just thought I would mention it.

    In love and light,
    Joan and Jay
