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.

The latest from Portland is that Kerri had a great night last night, with the exception of one instance of nausea (which she attributed to all the anesthetic agents). She was up and had breakfast, washed her hair, and even blew it dry. When the docs came in this morning apparently they indicated she was doing so well she actually could go home today. After consideration though, it was felt that the extra day of rest and monitoring would be good for Kerri.

She has been up and walking around today, sitting in a recliner, and visiting with company. Joanne says in general, you would never know Kerri had a major surgery yesterday with the exception being when she is up and walking her pace is just a little slower than usual. Clearly the woman is tough as nails :)!!!!

Kerri does have a little pain, but it is manageable, and her pain meds aren't making her at all loopy, which is wonderful.

I haven't spoken to Joe personally today, but Joanne reports that he is tired today, but still doing well. He did lots yesterday and it seems that after a day when he feels great, the next typically has a little more fatigue involved.

All and all, the Lynch gang is doing great! GO TEAM LYNCH!!!! We love you!!!
