Dr. Pilewski was just in to see me. I definitely have a whopper of a lung infection and it is a good thing we came when we did. I am feeling more alert this evening, I have been very tired, hopefully that is a good sign that the IV antibiotics are starting to work.

Dr. Pilewski agrees it is time to list, so they will try to update any tests that need updated and hopefully I will still get to see the surgeons tomorrow. Now it is really in God's hands, Dr. Pilewski said it could be a few days to a few weeks, it is impossible to know. Hopefully my transplant coordinator can help me decide whether I should stay here, even after discharge, or if I can come home for a period of time. I will keep you posted.

Thank you all so much for your wonderfully supportive and loving postings and e-mails. If you would prefer not to post on this site, please feel free to send me an e-mail at nancymatthews74@yahoo.com , though I can't promise I'll be able to respond, I will read every one.

With love and friendship! Nancy

Thank goodness there is a reason for you not feeling well, and they can treat it. Hopefully, you will feel stronger so you can be ready for that transplant! You are on our prayer list at church, and I know you have many thoughts and prayers with you. If there is anything you need, please ask. (Taylor said hello and wants to know how Hannah is doing.) All our love and prayers! Lynda

Please Help!

Hello Friends!  As most of you know, I have felt called to assist Christian artist Jason Dunn.  Jason made such a huge impact on my Hannah through his music and positive outlook at a time when she was emotionally and spiritually lost.  God used Jason to answer a very special prayer I had sent to him regarding Hannah. In the time since Jason and I started working together, a lot has happened.  We founded a charity for children and young adults with diabetes called the Jason Dunn Diabetes Foundation ( www.jasondunnfoundation.com ); we put together an 8 state tour to support this foundation; and now, we have launched a campaign through a website called Faith Launcher ( www.faithlauncher.com ) to help pay off the debt from Jason's new album, Abandon Progress, but also, hopefully, to raise money for our foundation. I would like to ask you to consider helping Jason and me by supporting his Faith Launcher Campaign.  You can do this by going to www.faithlauncher.com...

Pain is under control

I was very concerned last night when the pain returned with a vengeance, I almost had to return to the ER, but I was able to talk to my brother-in-law and he suggested I take a second pain pill and that made the difference. I have made sure to be on top of the pain and not let it get so bad again. Hannah stayed home again today, but I am hoping that she will be able to return to school tomorrow. This is a nasty bug! I couldn't let Scott have all of the St. Patty's day fun. What do you think, do curls suite me? Love to you all! Nancy
