Merry Christmas!

By Nancy -
I don't remember a time I have woken up on Christmas morning with more peace, joy, and thankfulness. It still seems as though I am dreaming. I had a good night and only had to wake up to take my pain pills twice and to run two IV antibiotics.


Last night I saw the pictures my dad took right after surgery. At the time, we didn't feel comfortable posting any of them because we didn't want to cause fear or concern for all of you. Now that I have come so far, I thought you might like to see what I looked like that first few days after surgery. What an amazing transformation in just two weeks!


Pictures taken Dec. 11 (one day after surgery)

I was very tired and sore last night and when we unpacked all the pills I had to organize and take I almost burst into tears. Have you ever seen so many medications? This is a one week supply!



Scott and Hannah should be on the road headed to Pittsburgh by now. What a wonderful present for me to be able to see Hannah, I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve awaiting Santa's visit. She called this morning and was so excited about all the great things Santa had brought for her.


Well, I need to do some breathing treatments, so I will go for now. I probably won't get to post again today, but will try to share some pictures from my Christmas reunion tomorrow.



May you all have a blessed and joyful Christmas day! With my love, Nancy

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
