I just received an update on Jeanine Klaus' condition from her husband (or
it could have been her son; both are called Rich!)  :-)

Here (in part) is what he shared with me.  I want you all to know how
things are.  If you want to write her a get well message, see how much she
appreciated the first batches....

  I just wanted to thank you for putting the note on on Lacnet regarding
Jeanine's
condition. The notes from all the folks have been great! I've printed them
and taken them ito Jeanine so she could see the support she has from all
the people she has worked with over the years.. The notes from the folks in
Memphis , Atanta ,and Chicago had her in tears as she thought back on all
the great times she had with each of them.

   The good news is that she is doing better every day. She will be in the
hospital for another 10 to 15 days  and recovery will take months, but
she's as determined as ever to beat this thing. As the nerves begin to come
back to some type of funtion she does experience some pain and unusual
sensation.
She has been complaining about her facial muscles hurting. Fact is she's
even more talkative then normal (if you can belive it). I really think her
jaw muscle is just tierd from telling the nurses and doctors what to do.
She's relentless......

  I also wanted to thank you for finding the mothers milk. We recieved our
first shipment a day or so ago and Jeanine is convinced that it will make
all the difference. Our doctor is a bit scptical but whenJeanine got done
with her
the doctor had a new respect for beastfeeding and for that matter Jeanine.

  You'd be proud to see how she's dealing with this. She's determined to
find
some good in what has happened. If anybody can she will.

  Thanks again for all the support. You've been great!!

Isn't that GREAT news!  I look forward to reading a note from Jeanine
herself one of these days.  For those of you new to the list and/or her
condition, Jeanine contracted Guillain Barre syndrome and has been
hospitalized most of the month of March and all of April (so far).
