Being Admitted Tommorow

I wanted to let you all know that I will be admitted to NIH tommorow . They called me last Friday and said they wanted to get me in early . So ... I m off in the am to get this done finally . The Big Ole Tumor is a gonner ! I am scared I will admit it .. but I know I am in great hands . I am going to create an account for Alan so he can post updates here for you . Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragment through this waiting period . Once this tumor is out , I plan on rejoining you .. and I have so many plans for this great life I have been given . I would ask that if you pray .. to do so for me .. this is a BIGGIE .. and it is going to require some knee mail .. so if you can put in a good word for me . I will have access to email and internet from time to time . I am taking my lap top but not sure if I will have connection . They do have a business center there so I may be able to keep up with you ... and peep in from time to time . I love you all .. and so value each and everyone of you ...and again .. thanks for being in my corner . See you all real soon . Natalie

You will definitely be in my prayers, Natalie. You have been such an inspiration to me, and I wish you nothing but the best! Please be strong as you go throught this. I look forward to hearing from you when that nasty tumor is gone. My thoughts and prayers go out to you! Hugs, Robin

Thank you Robin , I appreciate it so much . I will keep in touch and I will be back before you know it . Hugs, Nat

Natalie - it will be good to go and get it over with instead of hanging on ...... and at least then it is a goner. Do you have a number we could call if we can call you to check on you or just chat with you so you don't feel so lonely...... or out of touch....? Now that our Nov 11th meeting is canceled as you won't be there, is there anything you want us to do for you in the meantime regarding January? I am praying for a great outcome - it will be - and that your recovery is easy! If you need anything - or Alan needs anything - please don't hesitate to let me know. Good luck and you have my prayers...... Jackie

Thanks Jackie .. I appreciate that . I will send you my address and tele # shortly . Alan will be posting my physical address too soon . I am sad we did not spend anymore time together this weekend , but it was good to see you and Cathy . Thanks again , Nat

I am sad we could not either but the conference was very busy and everything went by so quickly! There will be others and it is good to have you as a friend. Take care of yourself while you are in hospital - I will be thinking of you ! You will be fine Nat, you will be fine!!! Jackie

Natalie, May God be with and keep you in his loving hands. I will be thinking about you and praying. That tumor is going to be history tomorrow.Keep your chin up.

Thank u Momma Pat .. I appreciate you so much .. Prayers are much needed ~ Love ya , Tink

Hey Nat!! well you have been in my prayers since this all started. I will add a little something extra now. I know all will be fine. I am so glad you have Alan, he is a wonderful man and you can tell by the way he looks at you, when you are not looking. He truly cares so deeply for you. But who wouldnt, you are such a wonderful person. I am glad you had a great time in KY. I have seen all the pics, I just wish i could have been there. Love and hugs, Kelli

Natalie, First -- A Big Hug! Second -- You have a whole army of folks praying for you and with you and Alan. Rest and get better. Whatever you need for us to do for January, we will do. Hey let us know, we'll come to you for a meeting. CathyA
