In her own words
Stacey’s own entries — humor, hospital stays, lungaversaries, and life, in the order she wrote them, with notes from friends woven in, often written in reply to her.

Note from Joyce (tx buddy)
Dear Stacey, I’m so sorry to see that you’re still in the hospital. Geez, what a drag it must be! I’m glad you have some good friends and supporters dropping by and something to pay attention to besides the usual, tedious and tiring hospital drills….I’m going to be down next Thursday – are you interested…

Note from Miki
I check the journal faithfully every day now (sometimes several times a day!) and just wanted to let you know I think about you that often! Do you have a DVD player? Netflix might be a good option for you to pass some time. All I get to watch anymore are children’s videos — The…

Note from Denise Wirth
Hi Sis, Hope your bellyache is feeling better today and the docs are finding out more about the cause. What can we do now to keep you amused? Six more weeks is a long time to do crossword puzzles. Do you feel up to doing a study-at-home course? I think I told you that I’m…

Note from Mark Fletcher
Dear Stacey, I hope you get better soon. I am sorry that you are feeling side aches and do not have as much energy to do walking now. It was good to see you the other day. I am now in the ship offshore in Cameroon where it is very hot, humid, and wet. Mark…

Note from Stacey

Note from Stacey
Miki, great to hear from you again. As much as the reunion sounds like a lot of fun, I already have a daunting amount of trips and goals on my plate related to my health, and visits to those who have sacrificed so much to get me through the Nov. 22 transplant and my two…

Note from Loraine
Hi everyone. I am Stacey’s Aunt that lives in Califprnia. I usually do not post here because I live just a couple of blocks from the hospital and keep in contact with Stacey in person. Today Stacey asked me to post a message on her behalf. First of all, in true Stacey fashion, she asked…

Note from Denise Wirth
Hey Sis – If this reunion gig happens when I’m in America, I’d be happy to go with you and be your luggage sherpa and driver (what are little sisters for, anyway). When are the festivities? I haven’t been to Oshkosh for about…. 12 years? This could be fun. Love, Denise; Denise Wirth, from Riga
