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.

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.

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:
Service Dogs for America
Great Plains Assistance Dogs Foundation Inc.
920 Short Street P.O. Box 513
Jud, North Dakota 58454
701-685-2242 * 877-737-8364 (toll free)
**Please make a note that the donation is for Sue Reynolds

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!

Leap of Faith
Having conquered my fear of adding friends from college, I have ventured on to HS. All but one of my college friends have been really cool. The irony is that she was the one who was the most ok with everything "way back when." It sucks, but I am thankful for the people who have accepted me.
On to the WBC youth group. I am not sure that they will react as positively. I am hopeful that most will turn out well. I guess I am hoping what everyone hopes... that they will be happy that I am happy. We'll see...
Completely changing the subject. Ben, our previous roommate, had a family emergency and has moved out. So, Sue and I have the place to our selves. There are definite pluses and minuses to him being gone. All being said, we miss him. But, I have had a blast buying new furniture for the house. We just bought a reclining sofa, recliner, and marble top kitchen table. The HD tv comes next month. We are looking at paint samples to paint the living room. And on the hunt for a bed for the guest bedroom.
I should probably get to sleep. More snow tonight, which means lots of shoveling tomorrow.
