Another Plea for Help
Hello friends!
I apologize for not posting this week, I must admit, I have been struggling. Although the IVs are keeping the infections somewhat controlled, they are not making me feel any better. The headaches have continued to be an issue and my chest is sore from all of the coughing I have been doing. An antibiotic change was made yesterday that may help, I am crossing my fingers.
Each time my body takes another step down this mountain called end-stage cystic fibrosis, it is difficult to maintain my footing. It usually takes a few days to accept that I am getting sicker and then to adjust and begin to cope with the new level of illness my body has entered. I am just thankful that God gives me the strength to adjust and then make the most out of my new situation.
I am not good at begging or asking for help, (as many of you know) but I need to ask you to please consider helping out at Rally in the Valley next weekend. My friends Ruth and Amy have only received offers for assistance for Friday night. They have done so much for me, I will feel horrible if they have to give up their entire weekend to run a table to help me. I may even have to drive my scooter down to run the table myself, if they don't get some assistance (I am sure my scooter would fit in nicely with all of the Harleys, LOL). I beg you, if you live in the area and have even an hour available to give next weekend, please give Amy Lafler a call at 716-378-7209, I will be forever grateful!!!!
Love to you all! Nancy

You are in our thoughts and prayers!! Please know that we are praying for you to stay strong, and to be able to win over this infection that is challenging you! We are praying daily that a new set of lungs will arrive very soon! Stay rested, my friend! I wish we lived closer to help with the rally. We will pray that you get enough volunteers. Stay strong my friend, God will provide!
If you ever want to sell your book here in JH, let me know! There are enough craft fairs coming that a booth for you would fit right in:)!!
Stay rested friend! We love you!
