A few words
After a full weekend with unpacking and packing both, we are heading into the hospital now. I'll check in (5 stars, this hotel) at about 3pm, enjoy a leisurely French hospital meal for dinner and the operation starts at something like 7h30 or 8h00 tomorrow morning. Speak to you all soon!
Our friend Alex will be posing as myself and writing an update in the evening once I come round - don't be confused - I shan't be typing from the bedside...
Brilliant news this morning as we went to the rheumatologist and received a prescription for etanercept. It is an anti-TNF drug of the very expensive and efficacious variety that we have been after for some years - Thanks be for the French medical system! She will start this week, and improvments should be a matter of days! Good news indeed. Kirstin threatens now to bring me coffee in bed as I replace her as the invalid of choice...

Hooray! And there was much rejoicing. :) Congratulations Kirstin! It's been a long wait for this drug. Greg, we are thinking of you and sending our love. The surgery will be over soon and then it's just the long walk to recovery. (Easy for me to say "just" I know -- I'm not the one getting a knife to the head...) ~Jen & Haydn
Alex,
Could you let us know addresses to send cards and presents to, please? Maybe for both the Grenoble and Briancon hospitals? Or will things sent to Pre Borel find their way to Briancon?
Thanks very much!
Greg, You are in our thoughts and prayers today and in the recovery weeks to come.
Love, Erika, Peter & Sky
We have been thinking and praying for you both. Can't wait to hear how you are.
Paul, Kathy & India
Great news about the anti TNF. Very worried here, though, about Greg. Please post as soon as possible.

Grandma Jeffrey is here with us. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Greg & Kirstin: Thinking of you folks today and praying that it all goes well. Hang in there, friends. I will check back tomorrow for new postings. Dwayne, Ottawa.
We're praying that things went as planned and that the recovery will be a speedy one.
Dan and Mar
