Kiki seems to being doing great!!! Amazing actually!! A few burns on her chest & back from the electric shocks. Other than that she is a living miracle. (Update as of 10/31/10 11PM)

My heart is in arrhythmia so basically it's like I have been jogging since the surgery.  Tomorrow morning cardioversion of electric shock will be performed to reset my heart to its regular rhythm.

This is a procedure that is done all the time and I should be good to go after I wake up.

Please visualize a relaxed heart beat for me tomorrow morning. The procedure begins at 8:30AM PT and lasts until 12:30PM.

 

Many of you know Kiki Hillman and have your own experience of how wonderful and extraordinary she is. For those of you who don't know Kiki, she is one of the most beautiful humans (both inside and out) there is. She "gives" first without expecting anything in return. Wherever Kiki goes and whatever she does she brings love and lightness. People feel better about themselves around her.

Perhaps all her heartfelt giving created her present challenge. Recently, she had open- heart surgery to replace a "dissected aorta." The seven-and a half hour operation went well; however there are some unexpected complications.

Please join us and give some love and healing back to Kiki. If you would forward this on to others who you feel would be willing to join us on the call that would be so appreciated.

Thank you.

We gathered for on 10/23/10 for a healing call, and the recording can be found here .

Jan’s doctor, Dr. Kemeny at Sloan Kettering,  just said she cannot find any cancer in Jan and will be taking her off chemo after one more round (six weeks).  This has never happened before at Sloan Kettering nor can we find any evidence of it happening on the Internet either.  

No one with colon cancer that had metastasized to the liver and had a grapefruit sized mass in her uterus has ever become cancer-free.  That is what happened in Jan's case.  The only conclusion I can come to is that it is a miracle.

We are very confident that your prayers and good energy played a significant part in this miracle.   Thank you!!! You are part of a life-changing miracle.  Thank you!!!!

Thank you doesn't seem like enough—yet I am not sure what else to say. Thank you!!!!  Thank you!!!!  Thank you!!!!  Thank you!!!

Love,

Marshall Thurber

It is the 4^th of July, Jan and I just came back to our home outside of Park City.  We will be here a week before returning to NYC for her next round of Chemo.

When we got into the home, we looked on Jan’s desk; on the top of the desk were the plans we had been working on for her funeral.   She has come a long way; I know it is because of your love, support and prayers that she was able to return here.

Both of us thank you!  I know my life has changed so positively having received your support.

Love,
Marshall

Jan’s Health Update 3.22.08

Elizabeth Kübler-Ross came up with five stages human’s experience to any form of catastrophic life change (job, income, freedom, health).

1. Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening."
2. Anger: " It's not fair."
3. Bargaining: "Just give me this….
4. Depression: "The emotions and sadness are disorientating ……"
5. Acceptance: "This is now a reality and I embrace it."

Elizabeth Kübler-Ross also claimed these steps do not necessarily come in the order. I know that I have and still am experiencing all of the above stages and I believe Jan is also.

What is certain is that all your letters, cards, phone calls, emails, flowers and prayers are helping. Each night we play one of the recorded healing sessions. We hear all your voices as you sign in. Just hearing those calling in is often overwhelming. My experience is that these are the sessions where Jan experiences the most peace. I know they are for me. Thank you.

What we know so far:

1. Jan has cancer. The pathology was finally confirmed Wednesday. It has spread to her liver since this is where the first (and only definitive) confirmation on cancer has been found. It is believed to be colon cancer yet the slides have been sent to pathology for further stain tests for more definitive confirmation.

2. We are attempting to get Jan admitted to Sloan Kettering in NYC. This is one of the best cancer hospitals in the world. Thanks to our network, it looks like we will have her on a fast track for admittance. If not, we may need to follow up with some of the other leads we have received as part of your amazing support. Again, Thank You!

My commitment is stronger than ever to work with our Positive Deviant Network. Today is the first day where I have felt strong enough to commence giving back. I have listed twenty two objectives to focus on for the next thirty days. If you are interested you can view my focus process (you must be logged in as a PDN member) for the details. They are listed on my Focus Process as part of the Positive Deviant Network Website.

If for some reason you can’t get in, please call Dwight at 435-654-9555 or e-mail him at: dwight@posdev.net.

Again, we thank you for all your support. I know this experience has already positively changed me. Although I don’t recommend it, I know that I have become and still becoming a better person because of this.

With deep gratitude,

Marshall

March 3rd Update

Jan is home. She is in a great deal of pain and heavily medicated. The highlight each day is when we listen to the healing sessions that were recorded. We do that both morning and evening. Watching her respond so positively each time is amazing.

We are getting a second opinion in New York at the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The treatment there is the best in the world.

Again, thank you. I am overwhelmed by the support she/we are receiving.

With love and gratitude,

Marshall
