It's hard to believe that a week ago I was sent home from the hospital with Hospice to die. It is obvious that The Lord has other plans for me because I am still here! Not only am I still alive, but I am living a relatively normal life doing all the things I enjoy doing and praising God for a wonderful, blessed Christmas season! I am now known as "Miracle Moroney" by all of my friends. I have no idea how the blockage in my upper intestines became unblocked, but it did, and I am so grateful for another chance at life! My biggest challenge is to eat lots of calories, protein, and be diligent about taking all of my homeopathic supplements, some of which Suzie Gibson brought me from Germany. I feel amazingly well, am only on a slow release patch for pain control, and am sleeping like a baby at night. Sarah and Bob are absolutely remarkable in their loving care of me. Bob wakes up every morning to make fresh vegetable juice for me, and Sarah gives me daily injections in my stomach to assist in the digestion process. It's such a blessing to have these few weeks off from school so that I get plenty of rest, have a chance to visit with friends, go to the movies, and just relax. I will be discharged from Hospice tomorrow. I have an appointment to meet with my oncologist on Tuesday, 12/29, to discuss further treatment which will most likely involve finishing the two remaining chemo treatments I have been scheduled for. My plan is to return to school full time as I had been doing before the blockage occurred. My energy level is good, so I see no reason not to go for it! Once again, I thank all of you for your prayers, good wishes, and loving support. It is so comforting to know that so many people are thinking of us and are standing by to lend a hand whenever and wherever needed. You are indeed a gift from The Lord! Have a wonderful, prosperous New Year!
