IT'S A GO!!!

By -
We got the word about 20 minutes ago that the surgery is a go!  Nancy's last words to me as they wheeled her down the hall was "Don't worry Dad, God will take care of me".  She had a HUGE smile on her face and was very calm and "ready".  I know all of your messages will mean so much to her when she recovers from surgery.  We are looking at 10 to 12 hours, so the surgeon indicated he was thinking around 6 PM Eastern time.  As we know more I will post here.  Since my birthday is Christmas Eve, this will be the best gift ever for me and the best Christmas gift ever for Nancy, Hannah, Scott, and all of us who love her!  Keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming!  I know she loves you all!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!! I spoke with Nancy this morning and she had such a calmness about her this time around. She sounded so at peace and knows at this point that it is in God's hands. This is such a glorious day!

Thank you Vance for keeping us up to date on the happenings and for your phone call this morning. I love you and Ann so much and I hope Nancy's surgery goes so well.

We love you and are praying for 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
