Half-way through!

Jalene is officially halfway through her radiation! The road ahead will not get any easier, but gettin all the love from you all is helping.

TEAM JALENE bracelets are on track to be here early next week and we'll be shipping them out asap. The outpouring of support for Jalene has been tremendous, so my order of 500 bracelets might be going very fast! Alas, I will be re-ordering quickly if need be.

Jalene is taking looks at the blog now and then from her house, so keep the words of encouragement coming!

And, unfortunately, an online method of payment will not be happening as I have researched all methods and none come with a 'fee-free' plan.
But it's all good!

Thank you to everyone for helping our girl through another tough week. She's still feeling pretty miserable from the radiation sessions of this week, but hopefully through the weekend she'll perk up a little bit to enjoy the sunshine we're supposed to get!

Peace,
Janis

Day Two of radiation this week

It's Day Two of Radiation for Jalene this week, and as I type this she is in a 2 hour session right now. My mom and I bought Jalene groceries yesterday, went and visited a little while, and she was feeling horrible yesterday and last night.
Before we left Jalene's house yesterday, she was laying on the couch...so my 2 1/2 yr old daughter, Julianne, went and snuggled with her Auntie to give her some hugs and kisses. So I said "Julianne, why don't you sing Auntie 'GG' a song? So Julianne started singing 'Amazing Grace' to Jalene and sang her the whole song. It was awesome!
Keep bringing on the love!
Peace,
Janis

Keep prayers coming...

It's Tuesday morning and Jalene is getting ready to start a 2 hr radiation session that starts at 10am. Please send positive energy and LOTS of prayers her way...it helps!
Thank you again everybody for coming together on this...Jalene is so amazed!

It's a New Day

Hey guys,
Well, it's a new day for Jalene and she's been hanging tough through another weekend. She's been feeling good off and on, and just trying to stay healthy through all of this. Her next 2 hour radiation session is on Tuesday, then again on Wednesday, but all the LOVE being sent her way by family and friends is helping!

In another week the bracelets will be here and I'll be shipping them out! I've seen the 'art mock' and they look awesome! Once I've shipped them out, I'm going to set up a slideshow video on the blog so people can send in their 'bracelet-wearing' pics and we'll show them all on the blog and get to see everyone wearing their bracelets.

I'm sorry that no online payment method is available. I'm not able to find a way to do this without Jalene's donation account being charged fees, and I definitely would rather do this the old-fashioned way than to trade convenience for fees.

Keep the love coming!

Peace, Janis

Having trouble making a comment?

Good morning everyone,
I have heard a few people have had problems trying to post a comment and I'm working on this. I'm not sure what the problem is, but every time I test it as a 'generic' user, the comment section is working for me...the system 'thinks' a little longer than usual, but then eventually saves the comment.

Jalene is at my house, just now saw the blog for the first time, and is speechless and very grateful. The good energy is coming through!

And please a reminder that if you make a donation at US Bank, please email me so I can put you on the list for bracelets. Unfortunately if you make a donation at the bank, it doesn't list your name so I can't tell unless you notify me...and I want to make sure everyone gets their bracelets!

Jalene had a 2 hour session of radiation yesterday and this completes her 3rd week of radiation. Keep the love and the prayers coming. God Bless all of you who love Jalene! :)

Wow

Wow everyone. I've gotten so many emails and calls from people..this is just amazing.
Jalene is loved, what can I say!? :)

If you are making a donation at US Bank, please email me so I can send you a bracelet. The bracelet order is still on track to arrive October 1st.

Jalene is hanging tough today after her radiation session, and is definitely feeling the love from all her family and friends! A big thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm about Team Jalene!

Glich at US Bank

There is a 'glich' in the US Bank system everyone. I apologize to those of you who have gone to the bank today and just ended up with someone telling you they couldn't find the account. Now the problem has supposedly been fixed, and as long as they know the account is a donation account, the name it's under is 'JALENE P. BROOKS DONATION'. We are getting an excellent response for these bracelets and, again, I apologize if the bank has inconvenienced anyone.

Tomorrow Jalene starts her 3rd week of radiation, so everyone please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!!!

Love to you all, Janis

Working on online payment option

Hello everyone,
I want to send a quick note tonight to say that my fantastic cousin, Steve Limbocker, is helping me look into an online payment option that makes sense for Jalene so she doesn't get hit with fees. Hopefully soon we will have that option available for a more convenient and safe way to donate online.
I have already received an awesome response and quite a few bracelet orders! I'm so fired up!
Janis
