Happy Holidays Everyone!!
I just wanted to tell everyone hello and that I hope all of you are enjoying your Holiday Season. I am doing really great and have been feeling pretty good. I still get fluid on me but, I am able to manage it with my medicine. I have been getting involved with my church and have been going every Sunday. It seems to really help me to be more calm and to have 'hope'. I know that what I have to go through is very scary for my family and friends. I know that I will be just fine and everything will work out. I've been having to give a lot of my medical stuff to my Mother, and my Cousin is organizing the fund raising for my 'Honeybee Heart Foundation'. It has taken a load off of me cause the last thing I want is more stress. I truly am looking forward to getting my new heart and liver cause I know my life will CHANGE.'It's about darn time' : ) I have a vision board where I have things that I am looking forward to after my transplant. This keeps me focused and positive.
Just to share a little story with all of you. The other night I was laying by the Christmas tree and I told my Mom, 'wouldn't you be shocked if the day after my surgery I got up and told you that I wanted to go for a walk around the nurses station?' She laughed and said, 'now Melissa you are going to be in way to much pain to do that.' So you know me I will have to prove her wrong as I have done soooo many times before. Thank you all for the support, the love, prayers and most of all your kind words in my guest book...
love, Honeybee

Happy Holidays to all of our Friends and Family,
A short update on Melissa. We think we are nearing completion on the insurance mess. We have been gratefully turned down by the last 'in network' hospital who 'thinks they may want to try a heart/liver'. Just waiting now for the approval from Banner. Then we will be arranging our trip to Pittsburgh. Hopefully, this will happen sometime in January.
A fund raising account has been set up, however, it is not a tax deductible account at this time. Really cool bracelets have been ordered and will be here in 4 weeks. Yeah! We will be fund raising hard once the plan is in hand. We have all sorts of things planned. Thank you all for your continued support for Melissa. Make your Holidays Happy!!!
