Let's Look on the BRIGHT Side!

Another infection, I am sorry to report, my feeding plug has become infected and once all the other pain was treated, the stomach pain really began. So, I took a visit to Dr. Witte's Office to see my dear friends there. Dr. Witte agreed there is an infection around the skin of my feeding button. He was really encouraging me to consider having the whole thing removed. For now, however, he put me on an antibiotic which will hopeful remove the infection and told me to put wet warmth on the area which does help with the pain.

I see the Gastroenterologist on April 8, so hopefully I will have gained enough weight by then to warrant removal.

It is a beautiful sunny day here today and I plan to enjoy every minute of it. It may feel like I have a knife stabbed into my stomach (I would send a picture, but if it made my PA brother-in-law gag, I'm guessing that is something most of you would care not to see), but that is no excuse to not wonder and glory in this special day God had given us!

Nancy,

I love how you take every obstacle you face with the best attitude and you always find the positive spin on it all. Just one of the many reasons why you are so amazing.

I hope you are able to enjoy this glorious day God has given us! I hope the infection goes away soon and you are feeling better!

Go out and enjoy the Spring day. Happy Spring to you and your beautiful family. May God continue to bless you with many bountiful blessings!

All my love,

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
