home from my whole family. Jasper wanted to get as much love as he could, then Cracker and Sweet Pea kept me company while I napped.
Hannah was thrilled to see me too, but I think she was more excited about the cell phone her dad gave her that she can use to call me while I am in Pittsburgh. They headed off to Wal-Mart this morning to see if they could find a special case for it.
I am feeling pretty horrible today and actually had to break down and take a pain pill first thing this morning, I usually try to wait until later in the day. That trip to Pittsburgh always takes so much out of me. I have lost 8 pounds since my last appointment, which was also discouraging. I will be running more food through my feeding tube to try to gain some of that weight back. It certainly is a constant battle!
I got to see Julie and Mary. They are both well and were actually able to go home over Halloween weekend for a short visit. Julie lit up when she talked about how happy her animals were to see her! She has missed them so much! Her last biopsy went well and they are hopeful to be able to go home for good in a couple of weeks. Wouldn't that be incredible? I am so happy for her!
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was able to meet my friend Cammi. What an awesome and amazing feeling to finally meet this person whom I have grown so close to in the last few months. I felt like we had know each other our whole lives and I only wish I could have given her a big hug! Unfortunately, because of our CF, until we both have new lungs, we cannot be near each other (hence the me in the car, her in the driveway). But, Dr. Pilewski said after transplant we will be able to be in the same room as long as we avoid physical contact. She and I are living parallel lives and I am always amazed at our shared feelings and experiences. I have started to wonder if perhaps I have been waiting so we could go through this together, it certainly would be nice to recover with this dear woman! I thank God daily for bringing her and her beautiful family into our lives!
Hannah had her first basketball game last night, I wasn't able to go, but Scott took pictures for me and I thought I would share a few with you. Love to you all! Nancy

Good Morning Nancy!
It is good to see that beautiful, bright smile of yours shining through! I am glad you are home safe and sound. Get rested up, and keep your head held high!
The pictures of Hannah are great. She is getting so big and she shares that same beautiful smile that you have.
I hope this is a GREAT week for you. I love you my dear friend. Take good care. Love, prayers, and good wishes are being sent your way!
