17 days to go...

I continue to prepare for my trip. My only quandry is how I will manage to get all of my suitcases/boxes into the airport & checked in @ Delta. Ernest told me to let him know if I will be taking a 4th case so he can send me a check for the fees, so fortunately cost is not a factor. I will need about 2 extra pair of hands and a strong back to go with it! Cheryl has been busy advocating on my behalf, trying to make a collection to raise funds for a baby scale and a cash donation to the clinic. I have never been good at "blowing my own horn" so I am glad to have her on the case! Today she spoke to the head of the Oncology Department and he was very interested in what I was doing. We shall see what fruit that tree bears. Additionally, I continue to await word on what supplies, if any, my hospital is willing to donate. My greatest hope is that I will be so successful that getting it all to the airport will be my greatest problem.

I am very thankful to all of those individuals who have helped me so far. I am touched by the responses I have received. I am confident that this is a good thing. I can only do my best and leave the rest to God.
