Thank you for walking with me on this journey!

It is amazing to me how in the last few months I have met so many new friends. I never realized how many people you can meet even when you're sick and housebound. This blog has become my connection to so many wonderful people and as difficult as it is some times for me to keep writing, it brings me great pleasure to hear from those of you who have chosen to walk with me on this difficult journey. I have never felt alone, as bad as things have gotten, I know your prayers, thoughts, friendship, and love are surrounding me; thank you all so much for that!

Though I am still feeling pretty crummy, I am doing much better than I was earlier this week. Obviously the new antibiotic combination is helping and I am grateful. At least this weekend, if the call were to come, I could accept it because any infection seems to be under control and that brings me relief, I would hate to think of missing an opportunity for lungs because of an infection.

We are starting to try to plan for what we will need to bring to Pittsburgh. It does not sound like we will be able to get a furnished apartment, so we are trying to figure out what we have that can work for furnishings. My friend Rose suggested that I ask all of you for help if we need any furniture items, so, here goes. It would be nice to have a small dresser for in the bedroom, do any of you locally have a small dresser you aren't using that you would be willing to loan us while we are in Pittsburgh? Please e-mail me if you do. If I think of other things, I will let you know.

Thank you all so much for your continued friendship and support! Love, Nancy
