So, yeah.
As my last post in the blogathon, I wanted to put up Lauren’s last post on her blog, just 4 days before she passed away. A blogger to the literal end, she was. And a well loved one at that.
La, we hope we did you proud on our first Blogathon.

Surgergy # what now…?Ooops, sure haven’t kept you guys v. updated the past few days – sorry! Grr, still having trouble breathing, too. So frustrating. :( Well, I really AM going to try to keep this a short one (riiiiight) since I’m drifting in and out of consciousness at the moment. Sigh.
* So I had to have another procedure done with the chest tube, but I believe I’ll call this one a surgery (#8 or something? yeesh) because it was in the OR and they gave me anesthesia which smelled like pine trees? Kinda sorta? (Ugh, really just need to type and get it over with because when I fall asleep I do odd things like delete half of a sentence. Huh. So please do ignore any crazy typos, ‘k?)
*During the surgery, the doctor just took the old tube out and put a new one in a better spot where it could drain some more (we hope, anyway).
* Last night got randomly sick at 5am when my nurse came to give me meds. :( So bad! Didn’t actually throw up the pill though, so that’s … good? And thennn today I just felt sick the whole time, of course. Like the on-and-off nausea all day. Blah. Did have some lovely visitors, though: The Godmommy & Nunc! :) Yay!
* Oh man I am following asleep so bad here. So this is the end, I guess! That’s all the important stuff, I thiiink? Just told my nurse I am having trouble breathing more tonight so I think I’m gonna get some flushin’! All right so then see ya around. :)
Are you rested now? I think this was a great thing and I would do it, if I thought I could stay up all night and not be a witch w. the kids the next day.
Yeah!! Applause! What a wonderful end post too. I read about Lauren as you were blogging away last night via the link in her sidebar. She was amazing and I sure wish I knew her. However, part of her is now carried with you… so in a way, I do know her. God Bless. -Margie
Congratulations on a job well done!

Congrats on making it through! Great job :)
L. – Well done my friend. Well done. I was having techinical issues at my house yesterday and wasn’t able to even get online to read your posts as they went up, so I’m playing catch up this afternoon. You did something that not many could do. It’s one thing to stay up for 24 hrs., but to come up with new material every 1/2 hr. is quite a challenge and you did it! I’m so glad I sponsored you and your cause and I’ll look forward to doing it again next year! Cheers, my friend! – P.
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations you guys, what a wonderful job you did for such an incredible cause. I am so proud of you. Mary, for a non-blogger, your posts were heartwarning and a blessing. Lisa, yours were a combination of hoot and warmth. I definately want to be a part next year (dang business trip to Minneapolis this year!)
Congrats again, and I hope you are sleeping now. For me, now I fly……. :-)
I AM SO PROUD OF YA’LL!!!! I never doubted for a moment that you would do it, and I am sorry I caved about 3 a.m. You two are the BOMB!!!!
Congrats again!
Love you … mean it!
YEAH!!!! FANTASTICO!!! YOU DID IT!!!
As i said last night, YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! Great job!
Wooh-Hoo! You did it and a great job, too.
GET SOME SLEEP!
Yes, we did it.
OK – I did grab about 2 hours of sleep over the course of the night, but that’s not so bad. Lisa is the Queen of blogging. I am a mere “lady in waiting”. Thank you everyone who supported us in this!
