Wonderful News Report

By Nancy -
Hello! I wanted to share with you a recent news report about my friend Jamie. She had her transplant on December 10, 2007 (exactly one year before mine) and is the person who kept me motivated during the days right after my own transplant. Having seen Jamie and how well she was doing post-transplant kept my hope alive that I too would be healthy and happy in my new life. What a true miracle organ donation is!

My love to you all! Nancy

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

A snowy morning.

I have decided there should be a law against feeling this lousy first thing in the morning. I think I should at least get one hour of neutral time, don't you? I spoke with Dr. Pilewski yesterday and my sputum is now growing pseudomonas . This is another infection like the Cepacia that causes trouble for those of us with CF. ( Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the main cause of infection and lung damage in people with cystic fibrosis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa are bacteria that are common in the environment. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is especially important in people with cystic fibrosis since it is the bacterium responsible for most lung infections. Repeated lung infections from Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the leading cause of decreasing lung function in people with cystic fibrosis.) I should be starting a new IV antibiotic today and I started Levaquin yesterday. Please pray these will work! I woke up to a beautiful snowy ground cover, all the more reason to move back to Pittsburgh, I w...
