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.

Finally something new to tell you all...
Today I went to the plastic surgeon and he took out 2 of my 4 drains!! My friend Shelley took me to Portland yesterday and I stayed at Donna's. We decided with all of my "hardware" stuffed under my shirt that I probably shouldn't go shopping anywhere because it looked like I was shoplifting something!! Now that I am down two drains, I can probably do some errands now and not look so suspicious :)
Joey had a relaxing time while I was away. Brother Don came to spend the day yesterday and Jenny was here when I got home today. They both take such good care of him!! He felt so good this afternoon that he drove me intown to see Caleb at his tennis match. We went for a little ride after to see my brothers new boat and over to check on our camp. (Place looks great Bobby and Brenda!!) Felt good to just hang out but by the time we got home, we were both done for the night.
We are both doing great, just need to get this healing thing down. We are headed to Portland on Thursday (with Chris and Michelle at the wheel, not Joey!) as I am getting the other two drains out on Friday morning and Joey and I both have appts. with our surgeon in the afternoon. Should find out the plan of attack with the chemo for me and what Joey can expect between now and his MRI in 6 mos. I cannot tell you how good he looks, but all he can think about is gaining some more weight. All in due time.
Will keep you up to date once we return from Portland with HOPEFULLY more good news.
Until then, God Bless and {{hugs}} to all...

    hmmmm... how did I know Joe was resting up to go to Caleb's match? hahahaha... Hope Caleb had fun!

    You look great Kerri, and I am so pleased with your progress. But remember, you are still healing, both of you, so resting by the lake is all you should do tomorrow.

    love you both. I will be having Lynch withdawls tomorrow, as I return to work.
    But I will try not to bug you too much by phone. LOL
