Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a good holiday. The Johnson Family had an interesting one....

I first wanted to say I go to Duke tomorrow for scans and then stay over for a January 3rd appointment with Dr. Palmer, the lung transplant guy. I will know a lot more on Jan 3rd and will report. I am worried about the scans, like always. This time I am for sure breathing different, and I have no idea what is going on. I will be glad to know, that way the docs hopefully can do something.... Dr. Palmer is the man that makes the decision about the transplant, so I hope I impress him.... Might wear a suit, just kidding.

We are going to present Duke Research with a check from Addi's Cure tomorrow as well. I am so proud of Addi's Cure and what it has become. It is all due to every ones help! We are going to donate $61,289.35 to lung cancer research. We also have over $98,000 in our interest bearing account for endowment. Everyone has done such a great job with this. We have decided to hold our first Addi's Cure event for 2008 on March 1 in Cornelius at the Peninsula Yacht Club. It will be with a Jimmy Buffett theme and should be a lot of fun..... Please make plans to come if you can....

Alright - holiday update. I was not able to go to Kansas because of my breathing. Christi and I were disappointed, but we did think it was best. I will have to get back there soon, I miss my Kansas family. Christi and Addi have a blast and Addi went sledding with her BFF forever Ryan. I added a picture of Addi (eyes closed of course!) and Ryan with Uncle Curtis at the top....
