She will likely stay a while more.

I will, of course, pray for her, but one quick question: Is her Islet Cell Transplant to cure diabetes?

SWTXBelle: I like that immensely.

Thanks everyone for your positive thoughts and prayers today- the MRI went well, and I should know tomorrow what is up.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes....

I got my MRI results yesterday, and my hip isn't broken! Hooray! The doctor called me yesterday and told me that I was clear to run this weekend! I'm so relieved.

Its purpose is two-fold. To remove a very diseased pancreas due to Cystic Fibrosis that is causing painful pancreatitis. Curing her CF-related diabetes is a bonus. (Many people with CF have diabetes due to a diseased pancreas).

I'd really appreciate some prayers, good thoughts, vibes, positive energy. I'm having some medical issues and could really use some positive energy. I'm feeling very scared and anxious all the time.
