Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Cindy. We miss you too...

One very special person for sure. Thinking of you M8tess, stay on track and take it easy OK

See ya soon and as always, don't just manipulate the images, manipulate the mind as well. You know what I mean

Danny.

Toni, thanks for your help!

Cindy, you know we're all pulling for you!

Hey Cindy!!! I am still hoping and praying for your recovery. Your caring personality to me while I've been sick, even though you're going through your own battles, has been amazing.

Good prayers and wishes to you are continued!!


Thanks Toni for posting!! Good wishes to you as well!!!

Cindy, We all are praying for your quick recovery. Sometimes life gives us ordeals to overcome. Most of the time we are stronger and better afterwards. The passage through the trying times is the hardest; this is where we can help by offering our support and encouragement. All of us here at NPN are anxious to help in any way we can.

Ed

Cindy, I got your email when I came home late. I'll send you my phone number later tody. We'll talk, my friend.

Keep fighting the good battle, Cindy.

Cindy, I think Ed hit the nail on the head above. I experienced a small bit of the same frustrations you're feeling when I was having heart trouble last year, and know it's no fun at all. You've shown amazing strength so far, and I know that strength will continue. Please know that all of your fellow NPNer's are praying for a speedy and complete recovery.

We think of you and what yuo are going through a lot. All our best.

Cindy your are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray for you to get well soon. Carol W

Carol,

I've tried sending you Cindy's address twice..once through my email and once through NPN...both times I've gotten the email sent back to me.

Cindy, my prayers are with you. You have shown such incredible strength. I've browsed your medical blog, and can't believe what you've been through. I knew you had an eye condition but had no idea what exactly it was, and did not know the extent of your suffering. I pray that God will continue to give you strength, and will carry you through to a full recovery.

Cindy, your courage and strength are inspirational.

Hey Cindy, I'm pulling for you big time! From talking to you in the past I'm sure that if anyone has the willpower to pull through such a tough time it's you! All the best and just wanted you to know that I along with many others are thinking of you.

Jim

Just received a phone call from Cindy telling me she had to go to the emergency room this afternoon and would I please let everyone know that she has orders to stay off line totally.

Please keep Cindy in your prayers and think positive thoughts for her.

Toni, thanks for the update. Please keep us posted.

Will do, Jim. Soon as I hear anymore news, I'll post it here.

Another update.

Cindy has had a couple seizures or strokes the last few days, making two trips to the emergency room in as many days. Unfortunately, the medical staff at the hospitals she went to haven't been much help.
She's overwhelmed by the response from NPN members, being very, very thankful, but unable to personally thank anyone right now due to not being able to write or use the computer. Also, any prints that she has promised will, understandably, have to wait until Cindy recovers enough to get them out.

On Cindy's behalf, until she's able to do it herself...THANK YOU so much for all your support!!!!!

Oh, Cindy! So sorry to hear of your suffering. Been missing you here and thinking of you a lot. Creator sends help in many ways. I will ask on your behalf. The day by day journey you are on takes tremendous courage. That you have that courage tells me the Spirit is with you. Love to you, g'friend!

i hope you get well soon Cindy.

Cindy,

I am hoping and praying for your recovery and return to good health. Know that you are loved by many. We're all sending out positive energy for your recovery.

C'mon Cindy - we all believe you can whip this ugly thing. It goes without saying - but Spark and I are pulling for ya sweetie. Kick this thing!

Cindy... miss you, think of you often. We all are thinking of you here. Looking forward to the day you return. Keep at it you special person. We are behind you all the way.

Stay strong M8tess, stay strong and kick this into another galaxy. See ya back soon M8tess

Danny.

I have been checking back here almost every day to see how Cindy is doing. Does anyone have a further update on her? I sent a card & check and she is in my prayers everyday. Carol W

Thanks for asking about an update!!

I spoke to Cindy late last night and she will be going to Ann Arbor, MI (U of M medical center) next Monday, possibly for chemo treatments. Her spirits are high, but she is weak due to not being able to eat much right now.

Cindy asked me again to thank everyone for all the donations and cards that you all are sending her. The overwhelming response to her plight has (almost) left her speechless!

Thank you all so very much...you all are awesome!!!!

Thanks for the update Toni. Cindy is a real trooper. We are all with her in spirit. Carol W

I hope the treatments make progress as I have spoken many times with God"Ok, that's enough -give her a good break in all this".

Hi Cindy, I offer up my support to you as you go through this trial. I too am going through my own medical trials & tribulations. After suffering for 4 years I am post surgery and on the sloooooow road to recovery. I'll make ya a deal! Whenever I hurt and pray to the almighty for relief I shall include you in my prayers if you can do the same!! Power in numbers and all that!!

Cindy, I think of you and pray for you. My baby brother is going thur chemo, so I am well aware of the anguish, and suffering you are having to endure. I pray that these troubled times will be softened for you and that soon you will be back doing all the things you love. We miss your beautiful photographs.

Cindy,

I hope you are recovering from your ordeal my thoughts are with you.

With every good wish for recovering , Cindy,
