DAY TWO POST SURGERY

By -
I slept like a log on a couch here in the waiting room and just awoke and called to see how Nancy is doing this morning.  I was told she is alert this morning and that they were about to have her sit up.  They will not be removing the ventilator today, and have given her some medication for some pain she is experiencing.  I asked if she could understand him and he said yes, so I told him to tell her we are all thrilled that she is doing so well and that we love her and will see her at 10:30 when visiting hours begin.  He said he would relay the message.  Now I can go get some coffee and have some breakfast.  "Happy Days Are Here Again!"  And Nancy's journey continues.

Nancy's Dad is smiling!

Happy Second Day Vance! It does not surprise me that Nancy is alert and understanding everything! She is such a fighter and so strong with her will and faith! She is amazing!

I am so glad that you got a restful night and I can't wait to hear more updates. Please, please give Nancy's hand a squeeze for me and tell her that I am with her there in spirit. We love you all and are so thankful that this journey to get new lungs has started!

Have a great day and enjoy this miraculous time!

Love,

Debbie

I am sooooo glad you all had a great night. And that SHE is doing so well. I also wanted to thank you for "telling" us that you were signing off last night. I sat here at the computer refreshing the page for most of the day. Waiting on pins and needles for the latest updates. It was only when you said you wouldnt post again was I able to shut down my own computer and accomplish something. Though, I was still deep in prayer and thought for you all. I will once again be awaiting updates today. I am sooooo grateful for you! Blessings to all of you. Cant help but smile!!

And we are smiling with you! Just ready to go into our morning devotions (it's 7:41 am here) and wanted to check on the latest news. We will be praising God for this wonderful gift! Our thoughts and prayers are in that room with Nancy, and with you, Dad, out in that waiting room (as well as all the family).
Your friends in Oregon, Jan & Dan Blair

I looked at my clock and it's 7:40am here in California, which means you're probably with Nancy right now. Amazing she'll be sitting up today!
Congratulations to all of you for getting through surgery day with shining colors- keep smiling! Prayers continue for a strong recovery for Nancy.
Blessings,
Jennifer

We are so relieved to hear the good news! Taylor and I were just talking about Nancy on Sunday and hoped that her lungs would be coming soon. Little did we know how soon! Taylor will be so thrilled when I tell her tonight. She has been worried because she has not seen Hannah at school. Please give Nancy a hand squeeze for us and know that you all remain in our thoughts and prayers.

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
