Just wanted to update all of you. Tara went back to work on the 18th of March, and Jim went back to work on the 24th with his doctor's blessing. He is doing so wonderful!! I know I owe a lot to all of my family here at DC for all of your prayers, so THANK YOU!!! You couldn't begin to imagine...

Penny, I'm so sorry about your Mum. I know that you two were close, she helped you through your kidney problems when she could and she knows you were there for her. Our prayers are with you. Dawn

Thank you all, we got ahold of a vet. Did blood work, and other tests, dumb dog is okay. The neighbor will be another story though!! He has been told not to burn his kitchen trash at all, talk about DUMB!!! Thank you again. By the way, yes this is the dog that ate my shoes and marked me as...

My dog just threw up half burned garbage that was partially burned using kerosene!! He weighs 120 lbs and you can definately smell the kero on his breath. He is still drinking water. What should I do? The vets are gone for the weekend, he is not sluggish but I'm worried. When I get ahold of...

Thank you ALL, I am so blessed to have friends such as you.

I'll keep that in mind after we get back from the "windy" trip to "clinic". Winds are expected to hit 60mph!! Calmness, here I come.

All is wonderful!! First "clinic" went great, after today, Jim will be down to one a week already!! He can drive possibly after next week, and go back to work in two months; as long as he doesn't lift more than 35 pounds. He is so happy to be able to eat whatever he wants now, he is like a...

They may release Jim Saturday. Tara is still in quite a bit of pain, but tries not to take the pain meds so that she can "work through it". Jim walked down to her room yesterday and talked to her for an hour and made her see that it was in her best interest to use the meds. Her room is about...

More news from the hospital. Tara may get out Thursday!! She feels a little pain, went to see her daddy, ate and kept it down, and had her (almost) 3 year old son in with her most of the day!! Jim went for a walk, his color is wonderful, he is using very little pain meds, has read his...

Hello Everyone!! Just to let you know, the surgery was a success! Tara came through with flying colors, she is of course in some pain but all in all doing especially well. The doctors said her kidney was the “best” they had ever seen!! Once it was placed into Jim, it took over immediately...

Thank you all for the prayers and grace you have shown. I don't know how I would have gotten through the past year without my DC family!! I love each and every one of you. I will keep you posted on their conditions. Dawn

Thank you all. My wish is for a joyful, healthful year for all my DC family, as well as my family here with me in windy NY. I will definately keep you all posted on Jim's progress. Dawn

Have you guys tried those cranberry english muffins? OMG!! Put a little sliced turkey and some sharp cheddar on half, heat it for 15 - 20 seconds in the microwave-- To die for!! I swear that is my lunch for the next 4 weeks until my stash runs out! :>) Dawn T

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, it's been crazy between home and school. We go to talk to the surgical team on the 18th of this month to see when in January the surgery will be. Now all I have to do is get through the holidays without too much happening. Jim is doing much better with...
