Tuesday, February 27th
I see my dear mother was not able to keep up her end of the arrangement… I was to go to Paris, be wined and dined by a couple of French men ( and a lady), walk all over the city, see everything there is to see in 3 short days ( oh yeah.. and hire some employees while I was there too).. then I was to go to London, meet some friends there, walk all over the city.. and for added fun, take a very nasty 4:30am fall in the shower on the day I was leaving.. She was to keep updating you while I was gone.
I kept my end of the deal…including the very nasty 4:30am fall in the shower on the day I was leaving….
But, it appears she was too busy hitting the town and partying every night and didn’t manage to get more than one post in the gallery. Hmm.. I suppose I can forgive her for that if you can.
O.K. Maybe she wasn’t out partying and hitting the town.. maybe Kerrie kept her so busy she wasn’t able to get to a computer very often 🙂
Now that I am home, I will make sure we get daily posts on here. Tonight I must go to bed.. the jet lag is getting the best of me.. and the horrific bruises from the very nasty, 4:30am fall in the shower on the day I was leaving are getting the best of me right now.
Once I’ve had some sleep, and gotten some rest to ease the pain of these bruises, I will be happy to post a wonderfully exciting update about Kerrie.. and tell you the story of the nasty 4:30am fall in the shower on the day I was leaving. It’s one of my better “stupid” moves… well worth a good laugh.
time for sleep..

Welcome home! Other than the fall, I hope you had a great time again in Europe. Can’t wait to hear about Kerrie (and the fall too, of course)!

Welcome Home Jenn!
Can’t wait to hear about this fall! How does it measure up to the fall at the train station last year? Give us all the details when you can. I am sure Cutie was glad to see ya!

I’m sorry if this is unpleasant, however, I feel that it time for it to be said. When Kerrie got sick and KAST was established, which I thought was fantastic, however, I was under the assumption that this site was going to be the device that her friends and family would get updates on Kerrie’s progress and situation. Additionally, have an avenue to leave support messages to Kerrie. Really Cool!!!
However, of late, it turn into the Jenny update and to be truthful I’m tired of reading everything about you and hoping you say something about Kerrie. Therefore, my recommendation is to start your page with a Kerrie update and if you don’t have one, say “No Kerrie Update”, and then if people want, they can read all about all travels, work, snowplows, cleaning your house …etc.
I still Love you,
Aunt Mary Jo
WHOA, ANONYMOUS! Kerrie reads this and I suspect the antics of her sister bring a bigger grin to her face than anything I could write to her. Besides, Jenn and her family are equally in need of support. I, for one, enjoy Jenn’s messages and want her to keep them coming!!!!
There is always some Anony that wants to complain, Jenn. The good Lord couldn’t get by without someone being upset that He wasn’t doing it right. So, follow the suggestion and give the Kerrie update first, then PLEASE CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR DAY WITH YOUR WONDERFUL STORIES!
I am glad your back and look forward to hearing about the Great Fall.
Much love,
Mary Jo

Amen Aunt Mary Jo!!

Jenn: Keep up the great work. We feel connected to family even though we are way out of town. You all are the thread that brings us home. Kerry surely gets our prayers and so do you and the whole Andree clan. You know that we have gotten our fill of “anonymous”, they hurt only if you let them. We are thankful to hear of and from all of you. We love you.

I have to add my 2 cents. “Anonymous”, if you have something to say you really believe, stand up and own it. Don’t be a Coward cowering in the shadows and sniping! In my opinion, you obviously don’t grasp the concept of Family and the Shared Experience. We are ALL in this wtih Kerrie. Every one who comes to this site on a regular basis has a strong, vested interest in what’s happening and in rooting Kerrie on to total recovery. This illness is hitting Kerrie directly and intensely, she can’t share it with us right now. So, we can’t share in Kerrie’s experience without the vicarious experience of those who are living it, driectly and intensely with her. That means Jenn and Joan. And, in case you haven’t noticed, the effort of day-to-day support of Kerrie isn’t relegated to her medications and PT/OT sessions. It is a total, Life Changing commitment that has reordered the goals, priorities, finances and meaning of Life for two incredible women. Would you do the same? Somehow, I think not. So, the next time you think something “needs to be said”, think again.
Jenn, pay absolutely no attention to the small-minded pettiness of “Anonymous”. We have MISSED your posts terribly. We NEED you to continue to help us share the experience. Love you. Aunt Jeannine

Jenn,
You have done a wonderful job. With all that is going on it is nice to get a giggle or a laugh, and a change of “scenery”. We love to hear everything that is going on. Life is not all about sadness and pain. And the positive things are what keeps everyone going!!God bless Kerrie, you and your family.
Paul
MR. Anonymous,You hope that I do not find you,You had best leave Jenn alone and shut up or else!!! pk.

Hey Anonymous, (excuse me to all of the wonderful people who post on this sight and read what’s on there) kiss my ass!!! If you want to know more about Kerrie’s condition, get down there and visit her. Pick up a phone and call. Write a letter or send a card. This web site has been the greatest use of the internet that I’ve ever seen or experienced. I’ve never felt more connected to people through the use of a computer. Jenn, you have made that happen. It takes an incredible amount of energy to do what you do. All of the ups and downs you go through tell us an incredible amount about how things are going. If anonymous is “tired” of hearing about all of your experiences, maybe anonymous can start her own website!! then maybe she can start to experience being “tired”. Trust me anonymous, if Kerrie could do it, she would kick your ass with her good leg for saying what you said. Enjoy all of the attention your getting giving your f****in “recommendation”. I recommend you keep your opinions to yourself. Jenn, keep up the good work. I can’t wait to read more of your posts!!!

Hi All and thanks to all for your comments….whoever wrote that post was thoughtless and inconsiderate. Obviously unaware of what it takes for Jenn to keep up the website along with everything else that she does. I am offended that this person would use this site for that kind of a message. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but Chris, you said it for me……go visit or call sometime if you don’t like what you read. Jenn, your posts with all the humor have been a lifesaver for me…….you take some very serious and sad moments and turn them into a smile or laugh…..and lord knows we need them. Anonymous, neither Jenn nor I,or Ron or Kerrie need any more hurt in our lives right now……speaking like a mother, shame on you!
so everyone, let’s lighten up and keep this website what it was meant to be….info on Kerrie and all the family and the happenings that are going on around us.
Thanks for all your support and love
Joan, Mom, Aunt Joan and Grandma 🙂 🙂 🙂

Well shoot!!, Here I was all set to jump to Jenn’s defense and it seems all that really needs to be said on the matter has been said already. I do come to the websites for the Kerrie updates (obviously) but Jenn, Joan, Ron and Steve and what is happening to them is to me a Kerrie update also. I think we should just close the matter but before I go I want to say I do agree that Kerrie would put that good leg to use and it might be good therpy for the bad leg as well!!! Sisters fight (and boy did I see some!!) but I also remember how close Kerrie and Jenn are, the Christmas present Kerrie gave to Jenn early because John Lennon was shot. Now that Jenn has given so much to Kerrie…….I pity the person who hurts Jenn and the same goes the other way, these two are too bonded to ever be torn apart!!
Jenn, thank you for all you have done and what is left to be done as well. Lori
Uncle Dan
Jenn,
Also remember that Grandma and I would really miss really your posts. It’s always one of the first questions she asks…and boy would she be p.o.’d if you stopped!
Love and prayers,
Uncle Dan

GIMME A BREAK!!!
Some people have WAY too much time on their hands. I love hearing about everything Jenn. It makes me feel closer to all of you. Whoever that coward is–GET A LIFE!
Cousin Kathy
Jenn,
Continue please with the posts! They bring us laughter through the tears. I love you Jenn, and what you have done for Kerrie is incredible! I look forward to reading your antics with Kerrie and without. You should be writing a book about all this, but I am sure others have told you this before! You have such a talent for helping us “see” Kerrie through your writing and your eyes.
Thanks again,
Kathy
