Power of Prayer

I haven't always believed in the power of prayer. When my dad was sick I would pray and pray that he wouldn't suffer. He suffered. I was pissed. I prayed that my grandmother wouldn't die from breast cancer. She died. I was pissed. I have prayed for a lot of things in my life and some work, some don't. I have been so fortunate over the last year to be receiving prayer after prayer after prayer. My prayers have been answered, I have gotten an angel from 130 miles to the south of me... she has answer all our prayers. I now need all the prayers that have been coming my way to move to a friend of mine. Colon and Liver cancer has struck her brother-in-law and Chemo will be starting soon. Please give all the "Megan Sharpe" prayers to "Andrew Somora" as he will now be needing them. Andrew's sister-in-law is a very close and dear friend of mine. When I received a call this morning asking for prayers, I started immediately. Prayers do work and everyone needs to pray for Andrew, his wife, and his two young sons. God works in mysterious ways and I feel all the prayers we will be giving him will help him, like they did me.

Aunt Kim and I are meeting with the surgeons on the 19th... maybe more information will be given at that time!!

With thoughts and prayers, Meg

Still truckin...

Just wanted to check in and let everyone know that I am still trucking right along. I am still doing dialysis from home, and so far it seems to be going really well. I am tired, but I had three solid weeks of me going non-stop. Yesterday I did a 4hr test that was able to see how well my "membrane" is working with solution in my belly. I have no results from that, but hope to hear by the end of the week. My goal is to be able to continue doing dialysis from home as long as humanly possible.

I also wanted to send a thanks to all the people who sent me or my Aunt Kim a message. It is amazing how many lives have been touched from this whole experience. I know that people say that they have Guardian Angels and that there are people up there watching over them... but this experience lets me see that hands on. People do love, people do care, and it is our job to thank them!! Even with a lot of bad news recently, the little joys in life make it worth waking up each morning!!

Hope everyone is well, I am excited to go with Aunt Kim to the "donor clinic" and see what else I can do at my end.... Hopefully a date will be scheduled over the next month or so!!
