Oops!

Correction: TPN actually stands for 'total parenteral nutrition'.

Thanksgiving

Judy had a nice Thanksgiving with her boys at Biffs. She made such an amazing challa dressing, there were no leftovers. Judy has been doing well with her new PICC line, IV antibiotics and continued TPN (Total Protein Nutrition) at night. She's keeping up with her daily, soul-filling walks and uplifting phone calls she gets from you, her fans. Judy's next chemo treatment is this Monday, Nov. 30 so keep the love coming this week! Judy continues to gain strength and her lungs have responded so well. She is still on (some) oxygen up here in Estes Park. Again, she thanks you profusely for all the encouragment and well wishes.

Skinny What?


Jude is considering a new career in the Kitchen and cherishes her new guide and apron.

BVH slumber party





I crashed the overnight party at Jude's 5 star hotel room at Bouder Valley Hospital and was lucky to have my trusty iPhone to click some pics. Claudia Paterno and Lindsey Landers joined Jude in charades, Baileys Irish Cream milkshakes and laughter galore.

Estes Park 43 Visitors 14 - spearheaded by Hayden Baird


Estes Park sports teams continue to strike fear in the minds and hearts of opposing teams, state wide. Golf, Football, Baseball and currently Basketball continue to thrive in this small mountain community - in part due to the devoted and relentless coaching efforts of Tony Salerno.

After a pretty rough weekend, Judy had a great day today. She treated me to Starbucks and we went for a walk along the Estes Park river walk. It was a warm and calm day and Judy really enjoyed the fresh air and I so much enjoyed the time with her! Keep up the good work Judy and we'll be swimming laps soon! Patty S.

Jude's 1st chemo treatment went well and she has been in good spirits. She slept through the night getting up only once and woke up at 7am for a short time. On the mend she is with an expectation of a walk - try to not let her overdo the walks.

Hi all - I just wanted to pass along some great updates... info I've received from friends and family. I did talk to Jude this morning; she sounded so positive and strong, but a bit winded from climbing stairs at home in EP. She was on her way out for a walk on the lake path, and was hoping to walk for a whole hour today, so it sounds like she is getting strong!

Aside from help from friends and family (thanks Don for being so supportive and helpful!), Jude feels blessed to have support from her awesome boys... Bridger has been staying with her in Little Valley and helping with the logistics, and Hayden orchestrated a great supprise for his mom when Jude attended his basketball game last night! I wasn't there, but sounds like it was just uplifting to see all of the boys with pink socks and sweatbands, and hearing the "go Judy" cheer at timeouts! It was really touching for Judy, so thanks everyone involved in that one, which included posters of support and lots of parents/friends wearing pink ribbons.

I hope to see Judy in Boulder Fri during her chemotherapy, to give her some things from the office (but only the good stuff), and to chat or just sit together... We all hope that everything goes smoothly during the first chemo treatment!

Thanks to all of your supporters... when I talk to Jude, she always asks me to relay her appreciation to all of you...
