Update on Jackie
Jackie had surgery today to place a peritoneal dialysis device inside her abdomen. It has to incubate there for about a month before she will be able to connect to a dialysis machine at home through a tube in her stomach.
That means only a month more of three-time-a-week dialysis at the clinic -- a treatment that dangerously increases her blood pressure and leaves her feeling sick.
The peritoneal dialysis is more like the way the kidneys function, and will be gentler. The process will take place as she sleeps.
Her husband said she came through the surgery very well today, and is at home tonight, resting, though she's hurting.
I have more pictures to post for auction, and will do so this weekend.
In the meantime, please help if you can, and tell a friend or 10 about the auction!
Thanks, friends!

Why we're doing this
Jackie Flanagin, a wife, mother and special-needs teacher, needs a new kidney.
She has lived with a degenerative kidney disease since before she was in college, and she didn't let it stop her from finishing her master's degree.
She had a transplant more than 10 years ago, but now it is failing.
And while she's a good candidate for another surgery, she also has an antibody issue that drastically reduces the number of people who will match her for a new organ.
Her husband and sister have been eliminated from the donor list because of the incompatibility.
She's living on dialysis three times a week, and although her husband's insurance pays the bulk of the costs, dialysis isn't cheap. It's about $5,000 a session, and she's responsible for 20 percent of that.
She's had to leave her job for the rest of this school year because of her health, and the medical bills are piling up.
So we're going to auction off some hand-done arts and crafts.
It's a win-win.
You get a one-of-a-kind piece of art or a craft project someone has put long, loving hours into, and Jackie gets to help pay the bills.
Some of our art is pictures taken by professional and semi-professional photographers. Other items will include watercolor paintings, a scrapbook that would make a great gift, and more.
If you have an item to donate, please e-mail me at newsgrrl12@gmail.com. To bid, post a comment.
Each item will remain up for bid for two weeks.
Thanks for helping, and happy shopping!
