Tough Decision

By Nancy -
Well, I have a difficult decision to make. According to Dr. Pilewski, there is still one person ahead of me on the transplant list who needs the same size and blood type lungs. This woman has been waiting for the last five weeks, just like me. Obviously, there is no way to know how much longer her lungs will take, but I won't be transplanted until after she is. I am trying to decide whether or not to go home for a little while. I hate to think of waiting several more weeks away from Hannah. Please pray for my guidance. I am looking into the option of Angel Flight, which provides free air transport for people who are in need of transplants, but I am not sure if there are any pilots in the Olean area. If that was an option, it would make my decision a lot easier, because I would be able to get to Pittsburgh from Olean when I receive the call.

I will be ending IV antibiotics tomorrow, as well, which is also a little nerve wracking. I am hopeful my body can continue to fight without them, because I can't continue to be on them indefinitely.

I am going to try to put this big decision in God's hands. Hopefully I will be able to get more information on Angel Flight tomorrow. I will keep you posted.

All my love! Nancy

Hi Nancy,
I can only imagine how badly you would love to get HOME to hold your sweet Hannah. I hope after finding more about Angel Flight, you are able to make a decision that will benefit everyone. Stay strong to what you believe in and don't be afraid to let your heart guide you to the answer. You are thought of daily and we will continue to pray for those lungs to come soon. Keep the faith my friend and know that all of us here in California love you!

Love,

Debbie

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
