UPDATE NANCY IS AMAZING!

By -
Not only is Nancy sitting up, but she has a clipboard, pen, and paper and is able to write what she wants to say as well as make hand and arm motions to say she loves us...very moving and gratifying to see how quickly she is returning to normal.   She is able to hold our hand and squeeze it...we didn't stay long because we don't want to exhaust her anymore than necessary but we will get back in to see her again after lunch!  So great to see the level of interest and concern to follow her progress and I shared with her how many messages, phone calls, and emails are coming in that I will share with her when she is out of ICU and in a normal hospital room.  The level of euphoria I feel is matched by your collective outpouring of love and support!

Nancy's Dad is humbled by the presence of so much love!

Awesome awesome awesome!!!! What a fabulous way to start my day! As a parent I can only imagine what you and your wife must be feeling to have your child be given a second chance at life like this, when you must have been worrying if it would ever happen.

We raised our glasses and toasted Nancy at dinner last night, even though we have never met her, and had a very good discussion about what organ donation means, and how everyone should be an organ donor. I think our kids get it now!

Please give Nancy my love, and tell her I am thinking about here every moment, and hungry for any more news about her amazing progress!

Much love to your whole family,
Claire xoxo

We are so excited about Nancy's progress. I understand how excited you must be about Nancy's precious gift of live saving lungs. I am Cammi Brady's Dad and have experienced many of the same hopes and dreams for her as you have for Nancy. Thanks for the updates on Nancy's condition. I can't read them without shedding tears of joy.

A couple of months ago while visiting Cammi and her family in Mt. View California, I got to bless the food at breafast. When I finished, Cammi's 6 year old son said; Grandpa, you forgot to pray for Nancy.

May Heavenly Father bless Nancy with a with a quick and successful recovery. Dennis and Judy Stohl

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
