Hello,
Welcome to my Blog! Yes, I have been in the fight of my life against Leukemia, insomnia, depression, side effects of medications, molting skin, pooping my pants and this list goes on.... however, I still love my life, and that's what this blog is about Real Life. I hope to meet others who trails have brought them closer to the Lord and molded them for the next step in God's will. In January 2011 , my family, physician, and Be the Match was featured on a Fox 5 news story about bone marrow donors and transplants. In March, I was interviewed on Atlanta and Company along with Be the Match. I was chosen to sing the national anthem at the Be the Match Run last year and will also be doing it this year, along with some other songs. My team, no thanks to me, raised over $4,000 and raised more than any other team! Please join my team this year or consider donating here at the Run those Stem cells out ! Team I was also chosen for a patient advocacy panel for the international council meeting at Be the Match in MN in November. How exciting!! I ended up not being able to attend due to the relapse. I had hoped I could help raise awareness about how easy it is to sign up to be a donor and how many people need your help! Please go to bethematch.org and sign up! I was able to have my bone marrow (same as stem cell) transplant at the end of March thanks to a 22 year old donor oversees that I hope to meet her one day. As I came up on my 6th month mark and continued to add more normal activities to our lives, I relapsed, meaning that the that the cancer had mutated and the leukemia came back. I spent 2 more weeks at Emory and some other nights here and there and now I'm on a drug from the FDA. I have a compassion waiver so I am able to get it. I have to take it day by day sometimes hour by hour. Time keeps moving and my little girl is growing up. I'm lucky that I'm getting to see it. I continue to praise God for his wonderful blessings he has shown us including my wonderful husband Jonathan, baby girl Evalyn Rose, supportive family and friend, great medical care, new readers, and the chance to make a big difference, even if that means being a Lab Rat.
God Bless You!
Please read, comment, enjoy, learn, grow, LOVE LIFE.
Most Recently I have started a booth at a local consignment store with handmade jewelry from friends, crafts, and my own art from recycled materials. It is called DAY by DAY. God was very clear with me starting this. Please look over to the right of blog and click on Day by Day to see some pictures. I'm just getting started but I am taking orders from people that I know. You will be able to personalize items, etc. I just haven't decided how I will be selling them via internet yet. But for now, the jewelry is at A Weekend A'fair in Athens, GA and will hopefully be at some stores downtown soon.
Hi Heather-
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful meeting you last week with Ted, and your precious little girl and husband. After spending the day with you, I can see that you're truly a special person and I'm blessed to have met you and was able to see a glimpse of your life for that short time.
I wanted to let you know that I just registered to receive a kit to donate. I hope I can help another's life as you have, and will, be helping so many lives with your cause.
Please let me know if you ever need anything of me. Thank you!
Kat
It was so nice to meet you too...you are a great mom! I'll make you a copy of Mraz's first CD and give it to Ted!
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI sent in my swab packet yesterday so you can add my name to the list. I pray that we find a match for you soon...maybe it is me! By the way, just to remind you I met you at the Paramore concert at the Tabernacle with my sister Kati Morrell. She has ordered her kit too!
Praying for you,
Christie Leveille
Hi Heather, I am an old friend of Jennifer's. I met you a few times when we were younger. I just wanted to tell you I admire your strength and good spirits.
ReplyDeleteYour little one is so precious. God does make miracles. I have two of my own.
I have been praying for you and your family and I wish you the best in your life.
I remember you Kara, I hope that you are doing well. Thank you for your prayers and comment!
