now a word from our sponsor

no more

there will be no more posts

and no more infomation about her condition

at the request of acacia's mother

prom night

i'm back from seeing her
and she's back to her life
a great new life
and enjoying it
like last night
she went to her prom
(with some guy, ...not her boyfriend!)


thank you god

and thank all of you for your prayers

now, that's better

she finally has driven her new car

...to get the insurance inspection

it passed, it's licensed and it's all ready to goooooo

-for years and years of motoring bliss

ya see

she was back in the hospital again

she got pneumonia

but, -the fighter she is

... a couple of days of antibiotics 

and she's back in the ballgame

she seems a lot better now

and now ready for the sweet feeling

of the freedom of driving her new car

now, that's much better

safe at home

just like today's game...

(the angels beating the red sox)

her car is 'safe at home' (see photo)

more doctors today

her kidneys are still an issue

and her doctors here are keeping an eye on her

she has to go back to pittsburgh to those doctors

until 'it's been a year'

next scheduled time is in june

so she's happy with her car (me too)

but please keep her in your prayers, thanks!

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

a little something different

this is the grandson of somebody very special to acacia's recovery
his grandfather helped organize the 'one minute for acacia' sunday
now he needs our help
he needs us to give our time and ask GOD Almighty
to bless and protect this sweet little fellow
will you take a minute
-give thanks
-and ask GOD for some help

PUSH
Pray Until Something Happens
THANK YOU

safe at home

she's back at the hotel (home)

she's feeling a little better

had a rough morning

but seems better now

they thought yesterday that maybe she had a blood clot

so they poked her and did some different tests

and then let her go

she's cancelled her weekend plans

and now plans to take it easy


god love her

more ups, than downs

our girl has been doing pretty good lately

they have even made their plans to return home

she'll be in her own bed in early april

but

right now she's in the emergency room

chest pains and headaches

they think it's some fluid build-up

she wants to get outta there

she feels ok now

please continue all your prayers

thanks!

one more to go

acacia had her broncoscopy and did good

they didn't have to put in another stint

she said that the airway is open!

the doctors didn't do a biopsy today

they want to do it next time

probably in early april

this week see has a couple more appointments

and if all goes well, it seems, that maybe

she can go home after that next bronch

!!!


can you believe it??


please just keep praying

that god will allow this long ordeal

to move to the next stage


HOME

side effects

at about 28 different medications

imagine the side effects

this pill makes you feel faint

this one makes you sick to your stomach...

now, the new one she's takin' to help her blood flow

...is making her have bad body aches

she couldn't move her hand this morning

so

they take more blood

and do more tests

but at last report

she's doing pretty good


she got a new wii (don't ask)

and is really enjoying that


her next brochoscopy is tuesday

we'll let ya know how she does


thanks so much for you continued love and support

ok

things are going ok

she has her next bronc test on march 4

the last one showed no rejection

but she still does have infection

she's studying and rehab-ing

the main thing is

she's doing a lot of window shopping online


-and that's always a good sign she's feeling better


we'll update when there's something


again, thanks for your continued prayer

flat spot

at a flat spot in the roller coaster

no ups and no downs

she had an OK weekend (a lil' sick)

sleepin' OK

nothing special

all-in-all

she's doing OK

-thanks for checkin'...

good procedure

she just texted me

she's out from her bronch

all went well

they took out her bad stint

and opened up her airway

they are not sure if they will put in a new stint

she'll have yet another bronch in about two weeks


so she did good

thank you, jesus

and they will let her go home about 4 est

home is the hotel

but

-it's been home for the last 6 months...
