I am hoping you are doing better today Nicole. It is such a long, hard road to the top of the mountain but once you are there you can slide right down!
I think of you so often these days and pray for a speedy recovery for you. You are such a special young woman and a delight to know. I know they must miss your smiling face at Ridgewater and will have a very special welcome for you when you return.
Keep the faith, you can do this and life will once more be good.
Remember, Friends are God’s way of taking care of us and you have LOTS OF FRIENDS NICOLE
Hi Nicole,
I’m sorry you are so miserable and in so much pain at this time. I pray that each day you will feel better and continue to full recovery. Hopefully, you will feel strength and courage from all the prayers being offered up for you. God give you comfort and rest! Barb
Nicole – It was great to see an update from you. I am so happy that you are this far into you journey. I hope the rest of it is not as painful for you. I am thinking of you and praying for you every day. We miss you at work. As for the hair, baldness does have its’ advantages. Keep on smiling – get lots of rest – I will check in on you through your website. If you family needs anything, please let me know. I love to cook, etc.
God’s Blessings

Hi Nicole,
I’m thinking of you and sending good thoughts… hang in there… Ann Marie
You still shine even at your lowest points. Amazing that is the word that comes to mind when I think of the visit we had on Saturday. You just broke a temp and still radiate a glow of beauty. You are always in our prayers and continue to inspire us to believe and conquer that all is possible. I know each day forward your faith, strength, and healing will be stronger….. because you…..FIGHT LIKE A GIRL! (And that’s a good thing)!
Peaceful thoughts & HUGE HUGS,
Patti & family. xxxx0000
What a wonderful day this will be. The sun is to be shining and you can finally leave the hospital. It has been such a dark, dreary, cold month that you really haven’t missed a thing.
I pray you continue to climb that hill at a steady pace…just don’t wear yourself out trying to do more than you should. Let everyone be there for you….they want that and you need it.
Hugs to you Nicole.

Way to go! I am very proud of your determination and strength! Take it easy and accomplish it step by step. I love the sound of your words you are over that hurdle and ready to take on another. Love, hugs and kisses from all of us!
The rutledge family!
That is so exciting to get out of the hospital. You are such a strong and loving person. I want the best for you. You have taught me so much on what matters in life. It is family and friends that you love and return that love that are important. Keep up your strength and lean on all of us that love you.
Hello Nicole,
Congratulations on your quick release. I was so amazed and delighted to learn you have been discharged already. Wow! That was really fast.
I had been planning to visit you this week but I’ve been out sick. My daughter has the H1 N1 flu and I have not been feeling very well so I didn’t want to risk exposing you or any of the patients on the BMT unit to these nasty germs. So I missed your big release.
My prayers will continue to be with you. May God continue to bless you on your on healing journey or, as your dad might say, “Keep on Kicking Butt!”
Blessings to you and your family,
Marla Amborn

My Dear Nicole,
I just heard yesterday that you have been going through some tough stuff in your life. I’m sorry this is happening to you. Sure sounds like you’re the one in control – as I’ve always known you to be! So many people are holding you up in prayer and God hears every single one of them.
I’m loving the photo gallery and what a great looking family you have. The kids are sooo grown up already! SMILE

Hi Nicole,
I have been reading your journal and am glad you could keep us informed as your progress improves. The good news of the day that the multiple myeloma is gone, and your transplant is successful, and that you are coming home is wonderful. You must have felt that someone threw you a curveball or something. I know you realize that perseverance, and simple things like your friends and family, really mean the most in life. Congratulations, and great going Nicole!
Way to go Nicole!! This is what I’ve been waiting to hear. Stay strong and happy!! Before you know it, you’ll be back at work! LOL
Yahoooooooooo! Welcome home Nicole! I am so happy for all the Glesners that you are home Nicole. You have all worked hard to reclaim Nicole’s health.
My heart just sings for your whole family. Take it one step at a time.
You will continue to be in my thoughts.
Sincerely,
Mary Getzke
Yeah! I am so happy the test results came back clear. What a miracle! So very happy that you finally were able to go back home, where things are always better. Your strength throughout all these months is just incredible. I just don’t know how you could always keep such a positive attitude while going through all you’ve been through. You’re family is just amazing, too. I’m sure it has been very difficult for your kids, but the bond you have is just heartwarming.
I hope the next few months of healing go easily for you, with no setbacks.
I was so glad to run into you and the kids at the store those couple of times. Funny how we hardly ever ran into each other before….
Take care, Love you!
Paula
Hi Nicole~
I was just thinking of you today and thought I should check your website out to see how you are doing (I have never looked at it before). I am so excited about the results of your bone marrow biopsy! Congratulations to you and your family….I’m so happy you get to move back Hutchinson! I did take the job at MOHPA, so next time you see Dr. Bloom, stop by and say hello!!
Hi Nicole,
I see that you are home and doing better. I know that it’s been a rough time and thankfully you are now home with your family. You will be in my Thanksgiving prayers. Truly, everyday is a gift.
Have a great Thanksgiving holiday.
Hi Nicole: Gayle and I were at your dad and gwyn’s house yesterday. He said that you are doing very well. Gayle and I are very glad to hear that. He gave me your web site so that I can send you a note. Our prayer for you is that God will continue to lift up you and your family and fill you with hope and peace.
You did it!!! Congratulations
I wish you the best Christmas you ever had.
Pat Lang
Hi Nicole:
I had been thinking about you, wondering how you are doing, and was just told about your web-site. Wow, what a journey you have been on. You are a real inspiration to many people. I am very glad to see you are home now. We look forward to your return at Ridge Water. Our prayers are with you for a complete, and speedy recovery.
Raymond
Nicole, I am so happy things are progressing well for you! Take care and have a wonderful holiday!
Pete
Glad to hear things are going better for you! I hope you can have a great Christmas. I pray for your continuing recovery!
I am so glad to hear that you are doing well. From the time I got out of the hospital untill the past couple of weeks I did not have acces to a computer so could not keep up with your progress. I am back to work, however just a few hours a week yet, so that is where I can use the computers. I have my 100 day checkup next week and then will be cleared to work as much as I feel able and not have to worry about my immune system.
It is a long process but sure seems to be worth it for me. I am sure you feel the same.
Christmas will mean a lot this year as we both are thankfull to be here to spend it with family.
God bless you and yours! Jackie
Hi All,
I have thought of you all during the winter break. I am hoping it has been a wonderful time, finally, all together.,…. no school, no hospitals. You are all in my thoughts and prayers often.
Sincerely,
Mary Getzke
Fantastic News Way to go!
Pat
Nicole,
Congratulations on your wonderful news. I am so happy for you and your family. After getting through this little stepping stone with the shingles, you will get stronger. Let’s get together soon.
Miss you lots.
Karen

I am so happy for you–you have come so far and through so much!!! I am a blogger fan of yours and have been reading about your progress and challenges for months. I’m sorry I didn’t respond to a comment as often as I should have. We all will be very happy to see your smiling face back here at Ridgewater and to have another part of your life resuming to normal. May God continue to guide and bless you!! See you soon!
Hi Nicole,
I heard of your hospitalization this morning. I pray God will return your health to you. Barb
Nicole:
So sorry to hear of another problem for you. My prayers are with you as you face this hurdle. We miss your smiling face at work so hope things get turned around quickly and you can join us again.

Hi Nicole,
You are one strong lady!! Keep fighting!
So glad to read that life is getting back to “normal”. I hope you are having a good week back at Ridgewater!
Take Care,
Tina Vorlicek
Nicole,
I am so happy to hear that things are moving in the right direction and that you remain in remission. I miss seeing you at Ridgewater, the place will be brighter with you back there.
Take care, blessings to you,
Michelle
Hi Nicole, I just read your latest entry and I am exhausted…..can just imagine how YOU must feel, ha! You will have learned enough to get a medical degree by the time this is over. I am glad you continue to tolerate the transplant, that is wonderful! Your kidneys seem to be coming back and you must be so thrilled. You are playing a balancing act right now, as they increase or decrease dosages, lengths of treatments. Nature has such a way of making our bodies run, and medicine struggles to match it’s work. I am glad to know that you get such good care and that you are so aware of changes happening and you report them to your doctors. You have been through so much, you deserve to see improvement.
So happy for you that your children bring you so much joy. I am sure this has not been easy for them. I had a very sick mother most of my childhood and remember not being able to concentrate on anything else. It must feel good to get back to work, something familiar to you and distracting. Seems you have a lot of people around you who care about you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, hope you continue to improve.
Hi Nikki,
Just wanted to let you know that I am still reading your updates and that they help me understand whats going on with you. You tell me so many things, and it is good to see it written down.
Love You, Dad
