Jill passed away on January 20, 2013 after a 10 year battle against the disease and the side effects of her many treatments. This blog will now serve as a memorial to Jill.

Stronger every day

There hasn't been much news to report since my last post. Jill is mostly over the lower respiratory infection she had when I reported last time. She is still on IV fluids but is reducing her doses of immuno-suppressing and other drugs. She is also gaining strength from exercise and physiotherapy.

Sylvia and Jill get out of the house for exercise when they can, but July is very hot in Boise and the air quality is frequently affected by nearby forest fires. When this happens the best place for Jill is indoors.

Thanks to all of you who have made donations to the Jill Korn Benefit Fund.
