An Update from UPMC

By Nancy -
Hello friends!

I was finally able to get in touch with my transplant coordinator yesterday. Unfortunately, my white blood cell count is still too low to even consider a Bronch. So, I am back on shots of Nuepogen to try to get my bone marrow to start doing its job. I will give myself three shots then go in for blood-work on Wednesday. At the rate we're going, it will be a couple of weeks before I have my Bronch. re-scheduled.

My other blood results are improving, yet still need some work, so we made some medication changes to try to get them back on target.

It is beautiful here today. Scott and several of his friends have been riding motorcycles on his track and I have enjoyed just sitting and watching them. I hope you are enjoying your Saturday as well! Love to you all! Nancy

Motorcycles....sounds like our kind of fun! Dirt bikes I am assuming? I am glad you are enjoying the simple things. I hope your blood count improves. I am scheduled for another bronch in Pittsburgh May 15th. So let's pray for each other :)

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
