Jill's Journey

Well.  Here we are!  THREE YEARS!  Can you believe it?  I certainly cant.  Wasn’t it just yesterday I was sitting here panicking?  Seems like it! But no.  It’s been three years since Jilly was at the hospital having her leg amputated. Three years since her journey began.  Now here we are.  She’s a happy, healthy […]

HELLO Everyone!!! First – I apologize for my absence as of late!  Work has been crazy and I barely have time to crawl out of my hidey hole that is my office!!  But I do check in from time to time and hope everyone is well.  Things are great here.  Jack and Jill are doing […]

Two years.  There are so many words I can use to express how I feel when I type those words, but none of them adequate enough to really explain it.  Overjoyed, thankful, elated…the list can go on and on.  What I really feel is just an overall feeling of peacefulness and sense of pride that […]

Jill Here. Today is my 23 month ampuversary! Can you believe that? 23 months without my leg!? WOW time goes so fast when you’re a little kitty.  Mom sez to me on Monday night, “Jill a big surprise is coming just in time to celebrate your ampuversary”.  A big surprise!? I think….what can be bigger […]

Today is 22 months since Jill’s leg was amputated!  She is just doing terrific and I can’t believe how the time has flown by. This month brought wonderful news.  We went to the oncologist last week and got a great, clean bill of health.  Jill’s x-rays and blood work shows that she remains cancer free! […]

Hi all! Jill’s 22 month ampuversary is not for another 9 days, but this morning she had her biannual check up at the oncologist for chest x-rays and blood work. Wonderful news – still cancer free!!!!!!!  Her x-ray was clear and bloodwork looked normal.  Her white blood cell count is low, but not dangerously, and we’ve […]

Happy 21 Month Ampuversary my little Jilly Bean!!!  This month bought great news – we were told that Jill will be in the book A Letter To My Cat (http://alettertomycat.com/).  The book will be published on October 28th and I can’t WAIT for everyone to see the beautiful pictures of my girl.  I hope it will […]

Tomorrow (8/12) is Jill’s TWENTY MONTH ampuversary!  Twenty months cancer free!  I’m posting a little early and have been very absent as of late because it is my busy season at work and needed to take the few minutes I had to make this tribute to my little one.  It was exactly a year ago […]

Happy 19 month ampuversary to my Jilly girl!!  It’s so very hard to believe that 19 months ago Jill had her leg amputated and 2 years ago she was diagnoses with this awful disease.  But today she is doing so great.  She is doing far better than I EVER could have imagined.  I am so […]

Two years ago today Jill had her little toe amputated.  At the time, we knew it was some type of sarcoma since a needle aspirate was done, but nothing more than that.  A few days later the results would come in – Osteosarcoma – and over the next 6 months everything would change. At first, we […]
