KTAR & BIRTHDAY

I went MIA. I didn't answer texts, e-mails, or calls. I was anti-technology for about a week. I just rested after the 29th. I wanted to say thank you again! I am still on cloud nine about the "E-mail Oprah" campaign. I am currently working on putting all of the pics and video on the website, please e-mail me if you have any more pictures! I will let you know when it is up. Oprah hasn't called yet. I have faith she will call one of these days.

Thank you for all of the birthday love! Wednesday was great! My friend, Chelsey Smith, sang me "The Climb". She has an amazing voice. We had a very festive, pink and black birthday dinner at Gamie's. It was absolutely beautiful. Last but not least, my friend Melissa, cut off 18 inches of her hair and donated it to Locks of Love in my honor. How special is that! If you click HERE you can watch the KTAR interview from Monday morning. They raised over one million dollars for Phoenix Children's Hospital, a hospital that has changed my life!

My labs are all good. Only four weeks left on the Cyclosporine! We are trying to get me off of the magnesium and nightly infusion as well. I am on a Caprisun kick and attempting to drink as many as I can! The sooner we get off the Cyclosporine, the less I need the Magnesium, which means I don't need the nightly infusion, and finally results in removal of my Broviac. I cannot wait for the day I can get in the shower without having to protect my Broviac. That is a beautiful thought.

I have to get a flu shot this week, you would think that after giving myself shots three times daily (for a month) I would be used to needles, but no. The boys used to make me this deal when I was little that if I wouldn't cry, they would give me $5. I said "ow" and they called the deal off. Ryan and Allan, you should be expecting a call from my lawyer soon.

I GOT A HAIRCUT!!! Okay, a trim. It just looks cleaner now. My hair is starting to have a wave. I'm not sure what to think about it yet, but I'll let you know.
