Christmas Light Show

By Nancy -
Last night we went for my first adventure post-transplant. We have been seeing ads for a Christmas Light Show and since last night was the final evening, we decided to check it out.
We piled in the car and headed out for a 45 minute drive. We stopped to eat dinner in the parking lot of a Burger King (yum, yum : ( ). I am still not up to going out to a restaurant, nor should I be out in a crowded public location, so that had to do.

I didn't know what to expect, but it was absolutely amazing and beautiful! These pictures can only give you a small idea, I had to take them through the window and it was raining.


Though I fought to stay awake and did fall asleep on the way home, it was so worth it!


I wish Hannah could have been with us, she would have loved it!



The Home Health nurse will be here at 8:30 to take my blood, so I need to go for now. I know many of you are back at school and work today. I hope you can start this new year with a fresh start and a new found sense of energy!




My love to you all! Nancy

Wow Nancy, that is beautiful. I am glad that you were able to make it out for such a fun show and yummy dinner. Going through our neighborhood last night was sad to see the lights all going down. I miss the Christmasy feel when they are gone. Glad you didn't miss them.

Your schedule is definately full and I can see how someone could get easily overwhelmed. Is this your permanent schedule or will some of the IVs be phased out as time goes on? You amaze me with your strength, it truley takes great will and an strong spirit to stay on such a strict schedule. If anyone can do it, you can. We will pray that this gets easier for you. Have a super day!!

Lots of love and hugs,
Amy

I love the light show--wish I was there in person! I am so glad you got a chance to get out and have a good time-- and a nice yummy meal, you deserve it.
I cannot tell you how happy I am to see you smile, it brightens up my whole day.
Well, back to work I go--it was so hard to get to school today--I truly miss the kids (even though they drove me NUTS). Love you Nancy!!!!

God Bless,

Nancy,

So glad you were able to get out and see the show. It looks like it was amazing.

Burger King food is consistent in it's taste and sure it was a treat to get out. Thinking of a junior whopper as I write!

Your schedule is a full days' work. Sure among the many other requirements you had to meet to be a transplant candidate they determined that you could and would be able to follow the regime. You and your support folks are amazing. Each day is one step closer to your recovery.

The last four weeks have started you on a new journey. Keep up the great work.

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
