what a wonderful world

well, we found it!

the exact car we were looking for

it didn't take us long

a half day of driving around 

then

right in her own backyard

there it was...

THE '99 honda accord

P E R F E C T 

gonna pick it up today

we couldn't be more thrilled

at least i'm happy, anyway

-it might take a lil' more time for her to soak it all in

she's going thru so much

she's such a strong and resilient lil warrior

and now she's on the road

(hide the children)

god continues his blessings 

and your prayers continue to be answered...

...at long last

well, i'm here

and so is she

no pittsburgh, no hospitals, no nurses 

just her and me

having a sundae

talking and laughing

just being together

like it should be

she looks great, feels great

and is a ball of energy

tomorrow she's got to do some medical stuff

(we'll have dinner and hang in my room)

but, thursday, we're off in search of 'the car'

THANK YOU, JESUS!!

HOME

headed in the right direction

great news

the results of the broncospy came back

NO rejection

NO infection


she's headed in the right direction

home

they are cleared to go home today


pittsburgh will lose it's sunshine

and carver will get it's sunshine back

great news

great news!

her broncospy this morning went well

everything looked wonderful

her airways were clean and open

the results about the biopsy and cultures

will take a couple of more days

but basically they are clear to leave

and go home on the 8th!!!

it still doesn't seem real to me, either

ready set go

they went to the hospital today for pulmonary rehab

then she had an echo and saw the pain doctor

they ran into the pulmologist and she said that they wanted to

move the bronch to tomorrow instead of thursday

so she had to go get an x-ray and pft's (breathing tests)

so pray tomorrow goes well

as we all know it will

('cuz we got faith)

new hope

spring has sprung

the red sox have opened the season

and we're saving daylight everyday

she's had some great days in a row

for a while now

she's doing math class via video phone with her class

she's doing rehab

and reading me the paper about the red sox

and their upcoming date here with the dodgers

we both have lots of hope

god has been great by helping her everyday

she's gaining strength and resolve

she perseveres and maintains in spite of difficulty

she's a warrior with a lot of help

new hope prevails as she looks forward to

going home and starting the next chapter
