Good Morning!

I don't have much to report yet. I did not see Dr. Pilewski yesterday, but am hopeful he will be by today. We are still hoping I will be released tomorrow, although I have been having an allergic reaction to one of the drugs I am on, so we are trying to figure that out.

I completed a six minute walk yesterday, in preparation for listing. That is the third one I have done here since October, and it certainly gives me an indication of how my lungs have declined in just that short amount of time. In October I was able to walk 1200 feet without any oxygen, yesterday I struggled to walk 900 feet with 4 liters of oxygen.

I will try to post a message if I get any further updates today. Thank you for your continued support and prayers!

Nance,
I'm checking every day to see the new progress you're making. The fact that you could walk six minutes (even with oxygen) is very good. (Remember out trip around the hospital square in Olean?) Keep strong, my friend. Brighter days ahead.
Always my love,
Deb

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
