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.

We thought we'd be home today, but it looks like one more day might be necessary. Joey is still not eating at all or drinking much. He is very nauseous which in turn scares him to the point that he thinks he is slipping backwards. He has been sitting up all afternoon and we've been out walking, but the idea of food just turns him pale. Thank God for TV Land!! However, The Andy Griffith Show is getting a little old after 3 hrs of it. Let's hope for a sudden change in appetite so we can hit the road north.
Until then, God Bless and {{hugs}} to all...

  1. Yard is looking good guys! We're missing seeing you when we visit, so come home soon!!! If Joey can think of something he feels like to eat, just name it and we'll get it for him.... hopefully another day/night will bring back even a slight appetite. Love you guys, Casey, Dave, Luke and Reese

  3. well, hope that you can drink enough to feel better. Remember, this is NOT a slip! You had another MAJOR surgery, Joe, and you need to give your body time to get rid of all the anesthesia and other meds that were put in. So give it that time and drink lots of water to flush your system. Stretch, walk, BREATH! You will be home and feeling better soon. It hasn't even been a week:)
    Kerri, keep smiling! remember to get your rest, as in another week, you will face a new chapter.
    I am sure it is hard not seeing the boys, too. Keep your chins up!

    Love you all!

  4. This is just part of "the climb". you will get there. Yes, it will be great to get home, but all in good time. Joey, your body has been through so much, let alone your mental stress not only about yourself, but Kerri as well. Stay strong, as you've done so very well, and you'll be home where you want to be. Kerri, you are progressing so very well. It's all about attitude!!!!!! and you have a great one woman!!!

    Love ya!
