I'm Home!
We got home (to Westons Mills) yesterday afternoon and as always, walking in to our home gave me the best feeling! Other than having two middle of the night IVs to do, I got a GREAT night sleep! Today I was able to soak in the tub for an hour (heavenly!).
Hannah had gone with her cousin Jacinda to Darien Lake yesterday, so she did not get home until after 9:30, but when she did get home, I got a wonderful welcome home. She held me as tightly as she could and sobbed joyfully. It is so good to be loved!

I wanted to share a story with you. During my ten days in the hospital, everyone was WONDERFUL, but one of the nurse's aides stood out for her exceptional care and concern for me. On the day before I was released from the hospital, I asked my nurse who the nurse's aides' supervisor was. Her first response was to ask if I had had a problem with one of them. I explained that, actually, I wanted to commend Kelly for her excellent care.
I did not get a chance to talk with Kelly's supervisor before I left the hospital, so I called today. The supervisor seemed so pleased to get positive feedback about one of her employees instead of a complaint. This is the third time in the last few months that I have contacted a supervisor to report exceptional work by one of their employees.
Too frequently we are quick to report our dissatisfaction with the way we have been treated, but when was the last time you actually contacted an employee's boss to report what a good job they were doing? I would encourage you to start doing this, we should all recognize and report a job well done!
Love to you! Nancy

Lots of Luv!
Much love and many hugs!

I know exactly what you are talking about. I try and do this as often as I can. Either in writing or verbally.
The world should look to dwell on the good rather than the bad.
Good to hear things are well at home. Give my love to your family!
Love and hugs,
Amy

So glad you are home again. I hope those new antibiotics give you the needed perk you so deserve. Rest up, my friend. Your new lungs are coming soon.
Love you!

I became interested in your problems after reading your story in the Times Herald.
I have some health problems that don't even come close to yours and find your attitude makes me realize that I can deal with my issues without the self pity that sometimes creeps in.
I check your site each morning to see how you are doing and keep you in my thoughts and prayers every day.
You are a real inspiration and hopefully those new lungs will arrive very soon.
Remember each day you are loved and admired.
