Great News

In the past three years I have had my blood drawn each month to track how my Auto Immune Hepatitis is doing. I have pretty much gotten use to elevated levels, and don't pay to much attention to the results. My philosophy is what will be, will be.... and just live life to the fullest. However, on the 22 of March I got GREAT NEWS, all levels were completely normal! This is something I haven't seen in three years. Why, even my liver enzymes were in the low-normal range. The Hepatitis Panel still shows the Auto Immune, but at much less than in the past three years. Hooray, it is still in remission. SOOOOO.....that means I am going to keep training and giving the 5K in May and Africa in October all I have. The best part is I have the support of all my family, as everyone seems as excited as I am, or maybe they are just pacifying me. Either way I am thrilled everyone is supporting me in this life changing journey.

I dont know if I have ever taken the time to tell you how proud I am to say I am your neice you have always been an inspiration to me and after looking at this blog and seeing what you have done and seeing how one person's selfless act has impacted so many lives I am so blessed to have known you. I was reading your entries and crying so hard I had a hard time seeing what I was reading and even though I have never thanked you for loving my little sister as much as you do and being there through tough times I hope you know how much thats means to me! Thanks for making sure I had excellent care at the ER when I needed stitches and strep throat (by the way I miss everyone there but not enough to visit its too damn expensive!)and when you took care of Lacie when she got diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes it just shows me how big of a heart you have, Thank You so much!! Love Mandi
