I'm a Medical Mystery!

By Nancy -
Well, I feel like I am on an episode of House (luckily, House isn't my doctor though, if he were I'd be in tears all of the time!) We are having difficulty figuring out what is going on with me. Although I do have some signs of sinusitis in my upper sinuses, no one is convinced that is the cause of my fevers and headache. I did have an ENT evaluation yesterday and my sinuses were swabbed, but the results of those test won't be back for 2 to 3 days. The fever has returned, along with the headache each evening. Today they are going to test my CO2 levels and I am going to repeat the 6 minute walk.

So, I really don't have any new news to report, we are just hanging out here at UPMC. I'll keep you posted... Nancy

Geez, Nance! Do you have to keep stumping the medical people! Talk about being EXTRA special! Really, though, I hope they can figure out how to bring you some comfort. You have enough on your plate without adding fevers and headaches to the mix.
As always, your in my prayers, sweet friend. Hang in there. God has a plan.
Love you!

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
