Welcome to our FINAL blog !!
Nili and I are back home safe. Nili has jumped full force into preparing for the Craft Boutique along with many of you. Steve, Gabe and I are back to the daily routine of our lives (Cleaning up after Steve and Gabes big buck kill!).

South Carolina was beautiful (pic) and we were able to visit the son, of some dear friends. Jonathan (pic) is stationed very close to where we were staying. We had a great visit.

Steve and Gabe went with some friends hunting while we were gone. The hunt went well for all, well, except the deer :( !

Two years ago today was the first of my surgeries how appropriate we are able to end this blog today.

Our lives have been strenghted by each of your prayers, acts of kindness, time, cards, finances and various demonstrations of love, support and encouragement. We have always said that we never walked or carried this burden alone, you have been right there with us.

My insurance approved procedure was successfully completed on Oct 29th. In addition there was one pending revision that insurance had not approved. What is so great is that the Dr. offered to "take care of it" and finished the last revision. Someone had allowed us to use some of their stand-by flight passes, so we were able to change our flight to accomadate this last minute "revision". So - I am - as it stands - today DONE!!!!!!!!!

We thank you G-d for ALL that you have done and look forward to what you have for our future. We would not have choosen to walk this path but trust you through it. We ask that this extension of life will be used for your glory. We Love you L-rd and are so grateful this is behind us. We ask that you give back to those who have given to us - in a way in which we are not capable of.

AMEN !!!!

Hello to Everyone!! I wanted to let you all know that I am getting ready to travel back to Charleston for, hopefully, what will be the last of my trips back there. (Unless of course we go to play and have fun) Tomorrow morning I will travel with my friend Nili to finish up what was started with Dr. Allen a little over 1 1/2 years ago. My appointment is for Wednessday at 9:30am and if all goes well it should only take a few hours. Nili and I will come back home on Thursday. Looking forward to the day when these blog updates are a thing of the past. Love Jamie Steve Gabe

We are all home safe and sound. Dawn is back in Seattle with her family, yeah! Phyllis, Steve, Gabe and I are all home, and we are glad. Things are going really well so we are just trying to settle in to the daily life stuff.

Thank you all so much for your support and prayers. We have never walked any of this alone.

Love The Wygants

MORE PRAYER & PRAISE... the doctor checked Jamie last night and found that she was bleeding. Several arteries had not been tied off. So they tied those off, but this a.m. Jamie was still swelling, she went back in and she had surgery at 6a.m. her time. This time she had more than a local anesthesia (sp?), and what they found was a large blood clot! Thankfully, they found it and removed it! They think that is what was causing the bleeding.

She does have a drain now (didn't before) and this is an area for prayer. Pray that: 1. there would be no infection or more blood clotting from the drain, and 2. that they would be able to fly home on Thursday as planned (otherwise, will incur more housing costs, etc.) She goes in tomorrow for a post-op appointment with the Dr. and will be told then if she can go home on Thursday. Doctor is hopeful that she'll be able to go.

Needless to say, this was a bit traumatizing and raised everyone's stress levels. Please keep them covered in prayer! (This is 2nd hand information via Kristi Rolin/Steve Wygant, so keep in mind that I may not have all the details correct!)

Blessings,
Brenda Zellmer for the W's

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST! Jamie has had to go back to the hospital for complications... she has swelling on one side and they are taking her in to find out why. Please pray for the doctors to have great wisdom and favor as they examine our friend. Also, that the swelling would go down quickly!

Thanks for your prayers and we'll keep you updated!

GREAT NEWS! Jamie is out of surgery and doing great! I just got a call from Steve saying that the surgery went fine, went more quickly than they thought and Jamie is in recovery where she will stay until after lunch. Then she'll be released and sent home! Wahoo. Tomorrow she should be up and around... thanks so much for everyone's prayers!

(Kristi Rolin is organizing meals for the Wygants for when they come home. Call her if you are interested in helping 303.278.4564.)

Thank you, Jesus, that all went so well!

It is time for us to go to bed and get ready for the morning. Gabe is in bed - he isn't feeling well :( We're hoping he gets better tomorrow.

The funniest thing happened to us tonight. We stopped at a store in Charleston and as I was on my way to the "Ladies room" I looked to my right and saw Dr. Allen right there in the store. I got a pre - pre op visit. It was an encouragement to see him.

We have received MANY phone calls and know that your prayers and petitions are being shared with the Lord. We are in agreement with those conversations and requests of G-d.

We serve a good G-d, and are grateful for each of you in our lives.

Good night.

Well everyone - meet Pilot Gavriel Wygant!! - Just jokin... Captain Frank Saxon and his co-captain - plus the rest of the team, helped to provide a memory for Gabe!! We were thankful for their kindness. (But he won't be flying us home - Gabe I mean)

2007-10-07T19:48:00.000-06:00

This is the wonderful "Delta Crew" that served us on the first flight of our trip to Charleston. They really made it special for Gabe - which he really enjoyed and is still talking about it.

2007-10-07T19:45:00.000-06:00

Here is Dawn, Phyllis, Steve and Jamie (Gabe is taking picture) at Starbucks!!

2007-10-04T21:26:00.000-06:00

Hello, On Saturday October 6, 2007 Steve, Gabe and I will head back to Charleston for a second surgery. Steve's Mom and my sister Dawn will be with us. We are so thankful for them to be able to travel and help us. The surgery is scheduled for Monday October 8 at 8:00 am and should take a couple hours. We will come home on the 11th to recoup. We'll try to keep the BLOG updated. Love The Wygants

Monday, May, 21st -

Prayer Request: Please pray for Gabe as he ran into some poison ivy today and has had a severe reaction. He has blisters all over his body and is pain. Trying to see a doctor here to get the correct medication as Gabe has some allergies to certain meds.

Thanks for covering them in prayer,
Brenda

PHOTOS FROM S. CAROLINA!!

The photo of Jamie in her "bonnet" was taken on Tuesday, May 15th as she was being wheeled into surgery. (Notice Jamie has makeup on! Her hair had been done too!) The doctor said she could wear makeup - & sweet Jamie wanted to look good for the surgeons while she was in surgery!!! Too cute.

Lady in pink - is Joanne, Jamie's first nurse. Kathy Roman says that Joanne took such good care of Jamie! She happens (isn't God amazing?) to have a daughter that lives in Denver on CARR STREET!! Jamie is going to visit the daughter when she comes home.

The doctor in the white jacket is Dr. Robert Allen and the one in the green is Dr. Massey. This is the team that performed Jamie's surgery. Jamie says they were/are wonderful physicians and such nice people. Everyone there spoke of prayer and the power of prayer... very comforting. Jamie called Dr. Allen a "real southern gentleman." This picture was taken on Weds. PTL Jamie has been able to stand upright (not hunched over as they had warned her she'd be).

There are many stories already of laughter & taking a two hour "walk around the block" just 24 hours after surgery. Jamie will have to write about those shenanigans herself!

Thanks for your continuing prayers as Jamie continues to heal in S.C. before they head home on Tuesday.

Sat. May 19th - Jamie is released from the hospital!! Hoo-ray!

Both Steve and Jamie send their thanks to all of you for your prayers and support during this time.

She is still in a lot of pain, but so glad to be going "home". She sounds so much better today...

Keep checking and we'll keep you posted.

God bless you all -
Brenda for the W's

2007-05-16T10:29:00.000-06:00

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS!
Steve & Jamie wanted to pass along their gratefulness and appreciation for all of you who prayed for Jamie! PTL she is doing better... the doctor is still watching her, but feels she is out of the woods and that her body is taking over as it should.

She still needs prayer for strength as she is in a lot of pain - which is expected.

Keep covering them all in prayer.

God bless you all,
Brenda Zellmer for the Wygants

PRAYER REQUEST - pray that the vascular part of Jamie's right breast will miraculously correct itself. That the blood vessels that the doctor worked on will do what they are supposed to do. Jamie needs strength and stamina to recover.

If the blood does not start flowing to the new tissue in the breast, the doctor will do surgery again this morning.

Check often for updates.

Brenda

2007-05-15T12:07:00.000-06:00

12:55p.m. - Just got a call from Kathy Roman... Jamie is out of surgery and everything "went wonderfully" according to the doctor! PTL!

They will keep her for up to 4 days. Keep praying!

Tuesday - May 15, 2007

Jamie went in to surgery this morning at 6a.m. our time and will be out of surgery at 1:00p.m. our time. She should go to her room about 9p.m. tonight. Steve will be there all day. Kathy Roman & Jamie's parents are there with them in South Carolina until Friday. Jamie's sister, Robbie, then comes in on Friday for the next week. She will be in the hospital until the end of the week.

They met with the Dr. yesterday for the pre-op. Pleased with how nice he is, but he gave them many details that they were not expecting... things like the fact that Jamie will still have a drain in her abdomen for the flight home, the fact that the catheter(sp?) will be in longer after this surgery than the last. Dr. said that "the first day after surgery is not pretty" but he wouldn't give her any more details. Each day thereafter, there will be improvements.

He also said she won't be able to do any stairs, nor stand up straight for 3 weeks. She will be hunched over and it will be hard to live life without constant help. Some of this Jamie knew, other parts of it were quite a shock to her.

The blood clotting/thinning is going well.

Pray:
1. For surgery to go well. No complications. Peace for Steve & Gavi.
2. No complications after surgery with anything - especially port and catheter(sp?), and clotting
3. Pray God will sustain her and that her body will be able to handle all of this. That His peace would cover her.
4. That Jamie would awaken from surgery with a renewed joy for life that only He can give.

Thank you for covering them in prayer during this time. Check this blog often for udpates. (J & S are trying to conserve their cell phone minutes.) Let her know you are thinking of her/them by writing a comment on this blog.

God bless you all!

We have REALLY REALLY fantastic news!!

On Tuesday, Jamie was given a PET/CT scan to check for cancer. Today she received the call that "ALL WAS CLEAR"! We are full of gratefulness for this news. Thank you Lord!

In addition, the insurance HAS approved Dr. Robert Allen and his procedure for Jamie's surgery. SOOOO - Off we go to Charleston, South Carolina on May 12 through May 24 at Roper Hospital. Jamie's surgery will be on the 15th. She will recoup in the hospital for approx 5 days and then stay for follow-up check-up, an additional 5 days. Her estimated recoup time is 4-6 weeks.

Some of the finer details and logistics for our time there, are being worked out as quickly as possible.

While we are there - we hope to keep you informed of how things are going - on this blog site.

Prayer requests:

G-ds peace and strength and encouragement as we go through this surgery.
Dr. Allen and his medical team and staff to be wise.
That the anesthetic would work really good and have minor or no side affects.
Jamies' blood would do well with the surgery and recovery.
Recovery would be beyond what our natural minds can understand.
The specific details of this whole trip/surgery would come from G-d.
The responsibilities of things we have now-in our daily life would not become overshadowed by this or neglected.
That the return trip home will go well.

We are looking forward to the day when our prayers will take on a change of focus. But until then, we gain strength and stability from your willingness to seek G-d on our behalf.

We appreciate each of you.

Love Jamie Steve Gabe

Well, the past 3 months have certainly been a mixture of challenges for our family. Some challenges were easier to face than others. Through each challenge – we were NEVER alone. We serve a G-d that is ALWAYS faithful.

I’m (Jamie) not sure that words will adequately capture what we want to convey, but here goes. We want each of you to understand that we have not walked this journey alone. The physical part, yes, but emotionally and spiritually, this has not been, just our fight.

We remember at the prayer meeting in the chapel, something that our friend David had declared to the enemy. “IF – YOU TAKE ON ONE OF US (meaning Jamie), YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE ON ALL OF US!!!!!” (Para-phrased) But the reality of this declaration has lived in truth the last months. We believe the burden of this journey has been as weighty on you as it has been on us. In honesty, we wonder sometimes if it’s been harder on some of you than it has been for us. We believe G-d has allowed many of you to carry some of the emotional and spiritual burdens for us. With our words we say “THANK YOU!!” In our prayers we ask that the Lord to reveal to each of you - what warriors you have been on behalf of us.

As an update - Jamie is now done with the “Have To” surgeries. She has started the treatment and will continue with that over the next 5 years. Aside from continued visits to Dr. Frank we are praying that only one area remains to be completed. That area is the restorative physical part. We are in the process of seeking which procedure G-d has for Jamie. Once we have some clarity on that we will email/blog you with that information. Once we have approval we will be figuring out the timing for that to be accomplished.

Until then, we hope that soon we may have an opportunity to take Gabe away for a “fun” break. We hope to go somewhere warm (? Florida). We’re hoping to just break away for a time of refreshing.

We are blessed to have each of you in our lives!!!

Love Steve – Jamie - Gabe

We want to give each of you an update on how the Hysterectomy and Oophorectomy went. It was very-very do-able :)

We had such a wonderful surgical team and great Doctor. Aside from nausea right after surgery, I've been fine.

We had several prescriptions written and Doctors available for me after surgery - just in case any of the "this is what typically will happens after a Hysterectomy and Oophorectomy" really happened.

But one month and one day after my surgery - we are THRILLED to report. Very little has happened! G-d truly has let this become a blessing in my life. Aside from the obvious "no more girly visits", I'm less moody (well - Steve may say something different!), I've had no depression, my anxiety is very minimal and gets better daily, and the hot flashes - haven't been so hot, practically non-existent!

I've been grateful to the Lord for all he has done and totally trust Him for what the future holds!

Love Jamie

2006-12-28T07:36:00.000-07:00

Great news - Jamie had a good night last night in the hospital and it looks like she should be discharged this morning! She dealt with a bit more nausea from the anesthesia this time but that seems to be gone as of this morning.

Keep her covered with your prayers!

Brenda Zellmer for the Wygants

2006-12-27T11:18:00.000-07:00

JAMIE IS OUT OF SURGERY! PTL! Kristi Rolin just spoke with Steve and all went well! Jamie is in a recovery room now. The nurses kept commenting about what a great group of surgeons Jamie had... the doctors were so thorough that she ended up going into surgery late because the dr.'s kept asking so many questions, covering all the details they could on her history, etc. What a blessing!

Please continue to pray for the following:
1. No clotting problems!
2. That as her body begins to recognize what is gone from her body (uterus, ovaries) that is would react well and easily to these changes.
3. Pray that God would guard over people's words that they speak over and around Jamie. That God would filter out and protect her from traumatizing statements/stories. Let her only hear and remember what HE wants her to hear and remember. (Eveyone means well, they just don't realize the impact of what they are saying!)

Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
We'll keep you posted.
Brenda Zellmer for the Wygants

ANSWER TO PRAYER!

Great news! I got a call today from the Doctor and I have an "oferctomy" (sp? - which means having my ovaries removed) and a hysterectomy scheduled for Dec. 27th at 7:30a.m. at the Rose Medical Hospital/Center. The next day I will be able to begin my hormone therapy.

This is huge! It means that it meets the requirements of my doctor to have this surgery before the end of the month. That means that I don't have to have the shot that would shut down my ovaries and that would stay in my system for 3 months. If I hadn't been able to have the surgery by Dec. 31st, I'd have had to get that shot.

Please begin praying now for the surgeons, anethesiologist, and that my body would handle this surgery well with no clotting problems.

Thanks so much for your support and prayers! Keep them coming. He is so good!

Dec. 1, 2006 - Oncologist update

We met with my oncologist yesterday and got the results of every test. Steve & Marlene Van Kooten (she has her masters in nursing!) went with me. First, I'll give you my prayer requests and then I'll fill in the details...

PRAYER REQUESTS:
1. We need God's timing and direction for the surgery I need this month: ovaries & uterus removal. Steve graduates on Dec. 17th. How to coordinate surgery date with that. Also, asking the Lord for no post surgery anxiety, nausea, etc. that I had after the mastectomy.
2. Which surgeon/anesthesiologist to do the surgery. (We think that God has confirmed which surgeon but He still has to coordinate it all!)
3. What is God's will for the reconstructive surgery? What does He want us to do?
4. Strength to continue Home Schooling Gabe.
5. Asking God that my body does not react "historically/traditionally" to my body being put into immediate menopause.

Okay, now for the details:

Because I had blood clots in the hospital and after my surgery, the doctors tested me to see if I have a blood clotting disorder. PTL that he allowed the clots to happen when they did or the doctors would have never tested me for the disorder! I do have the blood clotting disorder and have had it since birth. We just didn't know I had it. This discovery really effects the choices we make from here on out.

Next surgery: I have to have my ovaries removed and my uterus removed because my tumor was estrogen based. The doctor wants me to have this surgery within the month. The doctors want to remove every ounce of estrogen from my body. They will do this via the surgery and an oral chemotherapy pill that I will take for 5 years. There is the traditional chemo route that involves a drip, port, etc. That has a very high risk of clotting. Therefore, it is not an option. There are two oral pill routes for chemotherapy. One is Tamoxicin (sp?) which is most common but has a higher risk for causing blood clots. The other oral pill that I will take has a lower risk of causing blood clots. (But still poses a risk medically, nonetheless.)

The tests results from California came back as saying that my tumor was 2cm. Usually with a tumor this size, they recommend chemotherapy. But there's a new test that they ran (even though it is new, the New England Journal of Medicine (?) said it is an excellent test!) and it tells you whether your chances for cancer reoccurrence are low, medium or high. My results came back as low chance for reoccurrence at 6%. Most cancer doctors hope to get people to a 5% chance of reoccurrence so I'm already doing well!

My doctor said that to have traditional chemo would only gain me 1% in terms of my chance of reoccurrence rates and that that small of a percentage is not worth the risk that traditional chemo would present for me (with the blood clotting disorder).

Shew, that's a lot of information. Hope it makes sense.

Thank you so much for covering us in your prayers! Our lives are in HIS hands and we are so grateful.
Love,
Jamie - Steve-Gabe

Nov. 18, 2006 - Oncologist Update...

Hi Everyone,

We met with the oncologist on Wednesday for three hours and found out that there are 3 roads of treatment for me but we still need some test results from California to chose which one is best. We'll meet with the onc. again on Nov. 30th to discuss which path to take.

My mom had a mastectomy, no chemo and her cancer came back 3 years later. We want only what God wants.

Prayer requests for several things:
1. the blood clots that keep appearing - is it a disorder or an enemy attack?
2. that I would mentally even out and be able to let myself grieve
3. for Gabe: we just want to do well with living - keeping life normal, consistent. This is obviously hard for him.
4. for Steve as he finishes school and graduates in December!
5. for sleep to be good for all of us.

Every day seems to be getting a teensy bit better. We so need your prayers as we walk this walk.

Thanks for everything!
love,
Jamie

2006-11-08T10:42:00.000-07:00

Recovery - I can't tell you what all of your visits and calls have meant to me and my family! Thank you so very much. I have been so blessed to be surrounded by the body of Christ. My recovery is going okay, but more bumpy than we would like. Because of this, I am going to lay low today, and spend time with Gavi, Steve and my sister.

As much as I hate to, we won't be taking calls or visitors for the next few days. Please go ahead and leave messages for us... we love hearing from you. Just understand that it will be a few days before we can get back with you. We just want to speed up the recovery process in any way we can.

I continue to covet your prayers for me and my family. Thank you again for your support, friendship and love. You each mean so much to us!

Love,
Jamie & Co.

2006-11-08T08:04:00.000-07:00

Wednesday - Trying to get my mind off of things today and focus on Gavi.

Please keep praying for a quick recovery. Also, for an answer from the Lord on whether or not I can have the reconstructive surgery that I would prefer. I want what the Lord wants and need to have Him open/close the doors to His perfect will.

I am home now and doing well. There's still a long road ahead of us.

Haven't heard about the lab reports yet. Will let you know when I know.

God bless you -
Jamie

2006-11-07T09:30:00.000-07:00

Yeah - this clot was superficial as well. Jamie is not being admitted to the hospital. The doctors have just upped her blood thinning medicine to help with this clot.

Please pray for peace, and the ability for all the Wygants to rest in His peace.

Thanks for your prayers!
Brenda Zellmer

2006-11-07T07:23:00.000-07:00

PRAYER REQUEST - Steve has taken Jamie back to the ER for what she thinks is another blood clot. This one is in her leg. Please pray for health, safety, healing and peace. They went back to St Anthony's.

Thanks for your prayers!
Brenda Zellmer

2006-11-06T15:42:00.000-07:00

Good News! Jamie is home! She does have a blood clot in her arm but the Dr.'s did an ultrasound and determined that it was a superficial one (which is good). They put her on a blood thinner to help with that. She gets her lab reports back tomorrow and has an appointment with the oncologist on the 15th. Please pray for speedy recovery!

2006-11-06T07:24:00.000-07:00

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST! Please pray! Jamie has a blood clot in her right arm and needs medical attention and God's intervention... she called around 7a.m. and said that the ultrasound, to check for the clot, had been ordered over an hour ago and still had not been given. She had called the nurses and no one was coming. Pray that God disolves the clot immediately, that it does not travel ANYWHERE. Ask God to comfort her heart and bring her peace. This means that she may not get to go home today. Thank God that the clot was found. Steve & Gabe need peace as well.

Thank you!
Brenda Zellmer

2006-11-05T21:23:00.000-07:00

GOOD NEWS! Jamie is up and walking around, eating and feeling much better! PTL! She is in good spirits and doing well. She should be going home tomorrow around lunch time. Thank you all so much for your prayers and, please, keep them coming.

-Steve & Gavi

2006-11-04T13:04:00.000-07:00

OUT of SURGERY!

Praise the Lord! All went well with Jamie's surgery. She is feeling a bit nausiated, but that is a normal reaction to the anesthesia for her. They also removed 5 lymph nodes (which was planned ahead of time) just to check them to make certain that nothing has spread.

The pathologist's report won't be in until Tuesday. This will tell us what kind of cancer it was and whether or not she will also need chemo.

Jamie won't be in her room for several hours since there are no rooms available at the moment. Once one becomes available, they will move her and we'll let you know where she is.

Thanks for your prayers and keep 'em coming!
Steve & Gavi

2006-11-02T19:06:00.000-07:00

Hi Guys -
Here is the surgery information at we know it: Saturday, November 4th at St. Anthony's Central. I'm to be there at 6a.m., but don't know the exact time my surgery will take place. They say I'll be in the hospital for 2days. Thanks so much for your prayers.

There are the obvious prayer requests concerning health, safety, doctors, etc. Would also like prayer that the anesthesia goes well/smoothly. And that if God wants to intervene and open a door for an additional surgery option - that we would see His hand and timing on all of that. The door can't be opened without Him.

Thanks so much for all your prayers and support! It means so much to me, Steve and Gavi.

Thanking Jesus for His hand upon us all,
Jamie

2006-10-18T12:31:00.000-06:00

October 18, 2006

Hi Everyone!!

Two prayer requests we have:

1 - We want the procedure and surgery G-d wants Jamie to have.
2 - We want to know where that surgery and procedure should be done.

Jamie has learned about a procedure which is only done in 5 places in the United States.
The places are: New Orleans, Wash DC, Maryland, South Carolina and New York

Jamie is trying to get hold of her General Surgeon to solidify the plan and confirm surgery and procedure date.

We will post the details of what we find out - as soon as we find out :)

2006-10-10T23:00:00.000-06:00

October 10, 2006

We met with the Surgeon today, and have good news! The tumor was found early and considered very treatable, yeah!!! With surgery and perhaps one round of Chemo, I should have great results.

The not-so-fantastic part is that I will have a bilateral mastectomy, yuck:( . We need to meet with one more Dr. and then the surgery should happen towards the end of the month.

We are trusting G-d to define details in all this and give us great medical help throughout it all!

Thanks for your outpouring of love and support.

I just found out I have breast cancer...

My name is Jamie Wygant, and I was just diagnosed with breast cancer.
The purpose of this blog is three-fold:
-Raise awareness for breast cancer.
