Thankful

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving,

We are very pleased that Molly has been discharged and got to spend Thanksgiving at home! Discharge day turned into a day of extreme port issues which lasted over 7 hours to determine that Molly's port needs to be shut down and not used. She will be getting a Tri-Star line for the next round and transplant.




She has been enjoying some time at home and simply resting. Dark room, warm bed, no one bothering her...ahhh. She has also been spending time with the dogs which bring her great joy.

If all goes as planned, she reports back on 12/6 for round 2. Otherwise, she is in clinic twice next week.

We enjoyed a lovely and delicious Thanksgiving meal from a family that constantly inspires us :-) Thank you SO MUCH to every one of you that worked so hard to do this for us 💕 it really lowered my/our stress level A LOT and we all really enjoyed ourselves.




Also, we had a couple of birdies stop by to pickup all of the leaves in our yard a few days ago - a shout out and huge thank you for this lovely work. Another stress off our plate.

Had to share the awesome Lego Bonsai Tree that Molly did in her last days inpatient. There are technically 101 birds in this set!



To everyone that has sent cards, meals, gift cards, love, prayers and positive energy... We need you and we are very thankful for you!


Peace and Love,

Emilie

    I am so glad that Molly was able to come home and be with all of you for thanksgiving and the dogs. Thank you for all of these updates. Molly seems to have a great care team around her including you as her advocates.

Molly Jean Salsitz July 14, 2006 - June 13, 2022 In February 2022 we all came together to honor and celebrate Molly at her life party. This will be how we will remember Molly, having been able to hug her and appreciate her wonderful humor and beautiful eyes. So many people would tell her.... "you have really beautiful eyes." She would smile, say thank you and we would wink at each other, because she would get this compliment multiple times per day. Her spirit will live on forever in our hearts. In keeping with Molly's wishes, her body has been delivered to Recompose in Washington State and will be transformed into soil. In about 7-10 weeks, we will receive the soil back in Ann Arbor and will have a private tree planting ceremony in her honor. We would like to thank Mary Ochalek from Ochalek Stark Funeral Services in Milan. Mary has assisted our families with nearly every death that I have been a part of over the past 22 years. She is caring, compassionate, and kind and ...

Dear Family and Friends, Molly has been fighting hard for nearly 10 months and her body is now shutting down. I wanted to get a quick note out so that everyone knows what is happening. We are all home with her trying to make her last days as comfortable as possible. Last night, we got her on a pain pump which allows her to be way more in control of the pain meds. Hospice moved her to Dilaudid which will give her more room to go up if she needs it. She is very short on breath, very angry at times and doesn't want everyone to stand around her and cry. Just a couple of nights ago, she had the energy to be with Xander and play a video game - we couldn't believe it and we were so grateful to get this time with her. She has eaten lobster twice this week - she got that gene from Grandpa Howie 💖  Please pray for Molly to pass with peace and love in her heart and no pain in her body. Blessings to you all, Emilie
