THurs 2:56 am

Sue has been put on the list to begin her skin grafts this morning.

She is unrecognizable at this point. THe Dr talked me through the many surgeries she is going to have to have. After shedding many tears I signed the DNR and refused a trachea tube and feeding tube. SHe currently has a tube going precariously down her nose. This has honestly been the longest day of my life.

Please keep those prayers coming.

Sue

Sue snuck out on the front porch today while I was doing dishes. I heard her screaming and ran out to see what had happened. She lit a cigarette and caught her shirt on fire. She has 3rd degree burns on 14% of her body, including her chest, mouth, and nose. She was taken, by life flight, to Massachusetts General Hospital. Please keep her in your prayers. I will have my cell on me, but am not sure if I will get reception at the hospital. I am also not sure if I will have internet access there.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Broken

My va-jaay-jay is broken. Enough said.

The jury is in

Well we have great news and some not so great news.

We finally have a date to pick up Sue's service dog. We will be in ND from May 31-June 20. WHOO HOO! Thank you to all who have donated towards her dog. THose of you who haven't get on it people!!! :)

On a more serious side. I got my biopsy results back today. I have abnormal cells in my uterine wall. I am going to have a DNC (abortion with out the baby) soon. They will take more biopsies from that. As of now, no cancer, just very aggressive precancerous cells. I am so thankful that i insisted on the biopsy. Totally positive thoughts until I hear differently.

Hope you all are well.

More Doggie Stuff

We found out that Sue will get a lab mix. Here are pics of the possibilities:

Help With Sue's Service Doggie!!!

Sue has just been approved for a service dog! We are very excited to be traveling to South Dakota this summer to finish training with the new dog. It will help her with seizure recognition, getting up and down, climbing stairs, companionship, among many other things!

The cost for this dog is $15,000. Much of it is underwritten, but we are expected to pay or raise a percentage. We are asking all of our friends and family to make what ever donation they can. $5 is great! ANYTHING will help!

Tax deductible donations can be made to:

Winter is here : )

School started last week. (much anticipated, i was dying of boredom!) All of my classes are going well and seem to be manageable. And a couple of them are actually fun.

I FINALLY got into to see a Primary Care Physician here in NoHo. (The wait list was 3 months long). He is concerned about some stuff he found during my girlie exam and sent me to an OB/GYN. They will be doing biopsies on Wed. It's all pretty much precautionary, but unsettling none the less. I also have a round of blood tests tomorrow at 8am (how evil is that!!!) I have to wake my ass up at 7am to let someone stick a needle in my arm. Can we do a brunch time type thing?

The cold is brutal here. I am becoming an expert snow shoveler, for a Texan anyway. (not a skill I ever really wanted)

More updates as they come in!
