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.

Joey spent the night with constant nausea. I got in here this morning and he was white as a ghost! Dr. Starks was in (of course I could never get up in time to see him because he is here at like 6am!!) and told Joe that around 2pm they are going to take him in and drain his gallbladder through a tube. As I had mentioned last night, they do not want to operate on him as it is too soon after his last operation with the chemo. He has not been up much since he has been in here because he has been in so much pain. I am hoping once they drain his gallbladder, he will be able to move around a lot more. After that, they will have to see if he will be able to take on food again. If that happens, maybe we could get him home tomorrow. Only time will tell.
I am letting him sleep for now...headed to the shop to get some work done. His room is nice and peaceful. He gets to look out over the river, which really makes us ache for home!! Cameron surprised us last night by coming home for the weekend :) I plan on spending as much time with him today as possible. Next Friday, he will be home for good!!! Just in time for me to go to Portland haha!! My stay will be short and sweet, so I would rather he be home with this Dad anyway.
I will let you all know how the procedure goes this afternoon and hopefully know more about the length of his stay here. Until then...
God Bless and {{hugs}} to all!

  5. Joe, Kerri, Cameron & Caleb -

    Just want to let you know that my thoughts and prays are with you all throughout this time. I think it's great that you guys have this blog and can keep it updated, even with everything going on. I often fondly look back on the times we spent together in Orlando or at Lead Mountain, just the O'Donald's and Lynch's. And I know that there will be much more time spent with our 2 families to come.

    This is just a speedbump in the journey of life and I'm confident that this to shall pass.

    Thinking of each and every one of you always. Stay strong and be faithful.

    All the best,
    Joshua O'Donald

  7. Jeepers, I don't check in for a couple of days and look what happens. At least you are out of pain, Joey- that's terrific. We're praying you get back home soon. Unfortunately this probably won't be the only "bump", so hang in there. We're thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way every day. Kerri, thanks for the update.
