Thanks to God and the wonderful people who have donated to this site. Our site fees have been paid off for an entire year! This is unreal to me. I will sleep so much better tonight!
Jeri Mc Giboney-Poole added her bio, and the survivors page as well as the financial page has been updated. ALSO - a new bio has been selected for the Featured Bio this month!
Updated 20 February, 2003- 3:22PM
the 2003/2004 financial page has been revised to show your donations, I have given a ck number or a city state, or a date, depending on the info I had, so that you can match up what I have received with what you sent in. If you have any questions, contact me.
Thanks!
Updated 18 February, 2003- 8:58PM
Kim, Mandy and Erica submitted bios, the donations page has also been updated. PLEASE email me if your name is not on the donations page and you should be there, it helps me keep record. Don't forget to order your bumper stickers, this is the last 10 days to order them and then they will be totally removed from the web, we have sold quite a few, but not enough for them to release our check for our site (you have to sell a minimum of 25 and we have sold 16).

Happy Valentines Day you guys!! The thank you pages that some of the members chose to do is now up. Please take a look!!!
Updated 2 February, 2003- 8:18 PM
Sonya and Amanda Bently have added their bios, the survivors page was updated, and so was the donations page. I put off doing a few things because I am having a lot of PVCs right now and just want to go to sleep :) Enjoy the updates!

Cara Randall has submitted her bio, I'm sure it would benefit us all to read it.
www.cafeshops.com/ppcmshop will allow you to purchase bumper stickers and calendars that relate to PPCM, shiping is .60 if you just buy bumper stickers, and $5.00 if you buy calendars - but you can buy a thousand calendars and still only have a flat $5 shipping. We (us, our site) makes $1 off every sell. If you are looking to buy more than 15 of any item, email me and I can get them in bulk. These items focus on the condition, NOT the website, the website is only slighly announced in the lower corner of the items. I just feel bad if I focus on the site too much, I want people to be informed of the condition, the website is just a bonus if they have PPCM... Our website renewals are up in March and we will have to re-register everything, we still have a little money left over from other donations, but will require a little more to get it for another year, so every item we sell on the site will go to the renewal of our hosting/domain name.

Cyndi has been so kind to share her story, and photo with us, please stop by and pay her words a visit.
Updated 26 January, 2003- 9:01 PM
Amy's Bio has been updated, and Heidi has joined us and submitted hers, please take a look at them!
Also, A new Featured bio has been chosen for February, I usually choose them the last week of the month, you wouldn't believe how many hits the featured bio gets each month - it seems that if you guys do nothing else on the site, you at least see the featured bio :)
PLEASE submit your bio if you haven't already. You don't have to be a professional to do it, it is actually quite simple. Jot a few lines about who you are, were you were then, and how you are now - and give everyone the chance to get to know you.
I am still in need for you to post/email the name/phone number/ email address for your local papers for our current ad campaign. I appreciate everyones help in doing this!
Updated 24 January, 2003- 10:35 PM
These pages have been added/updated: Survivors, Archives, Erin Gould's Bio, Jeannie Cassarino's Bio, And, see the ad that ran in the Thrifty Nickel and the basis of a new ad campaign by looking here!
Also, if you have a personal picture of yourself PLEASE send it in... I am in need of some more faces on the site!
Updated 15 January, 2003- 10:00 PM
The contact page that I requested info for the other day is now complete. I was amazed at how FEW people were interested, but I went ahead and posted it for those of us that were.
Updated 6 January, 2003- 10:00 PM
Finally an update. You can't imagine how frustrating it has been for me to have all of this information sitting here and no software to update our site. I was devistated when I would receive emails wondering why the site hadn't been updated. I have a job to do on these pages, and I appologize for it not being done recently. There are new bios available for viewing: Mandy Clubbs, Natasha Fleischman and Sarah Martinho have all shared their stories. In addition, the survivors page has been highly updated.The Donations page has also been updated, PLEASE let me know if your name isn't on this page, and you have donated to our site. PLEASE do not remain quiet. I have not intentionally forgot to add you, and I need your name for site records. THANK YOU for everything you do for this website. We are truly blessed. We have a live chat scheduled on Tuesday January 7th at 9 Central. In order to be able to chat, you must be signed up for our Yahoogroup PPCMFriend. I use this list as a backup email list should there be an immediate prayer needed, or if something goes wrong with out site. In order to join, enter your email below, then during scheduled chat, all you will have to do is visit our yahoogroups page and click chat.

Updated 2 November, 2002- 12:00 AM
I was so exhausted when I came home from my parents just moments ago, but then I saw this new bio in my email box and new that I had to post it right away. It is very inspirational, and I hope you will read Sharon's story tonight. Another very inspiring story is one told by Lucy. The Survivors page has had a minor update tonight, and a new featured bio has been selected... I figured I was already up, I might as well put fresh info here for you :)
Updated 24 October, 2002- 10.00 AM

In addition, my mother owns a newsletter called ChangeXchange - a refunding, friendly newsletter that always places information about PPCM within its contents. I am VERY grateful for this, and am returning the favor to her here. If you are interested in saving money, and would like to subscribe to the newsletter (It is highly inexpensive, very informative and arrives in print in your snail box) send an email to changexchange101@yahoo.com for information.

Updated 1 August, 2002
Okay, now I have devoted the past two days of my life to editing the bios - just adding some color, adding the new link selection and adding the www.ppcmsupport.net at the bottom of all of them, and all of the other webpages in our directory :) I also updated the survivors page, and added a new page on positive thinking. Enjoy :)

A new featured biography has been chosen, PLEASE, even if you have already read it, lets read it again!
I am trying to do a page for links to our baby's webpages, but I haven't had but two people respond to that, so I am not sure that the demand is out there. If you would like to add your child's link to our "Children's Page" please email it to me soon so I can determine if we should do this or not.

You may type up your bio either in an email or in Microsoft Word and send it over to me at brandy@ppcmsupport.net and I will add it to the bios page almost immediatly. Please only hit enter at the end of a paragraph - it makes it so much easier to format the text.

There is also a new featured bio. Even if you have read it, please read it again :) I want to make sure everyone's story has the opportunity to be in the spotlight, if only for a month, so we all can feel that we have helped someone else cope.

Updated 4 January, 2002
Wow! There is so much to say! My poor husband has been so busy at work lately that he hasn't been able to update, but we hope you like the new layout. We have added several pages to our lineup, including the recipes for and from everyone. Thank you again for all of your support, and let us know what you think!
Updated 18 November, 2001
Yes, it has been a while since our last update, but we hadn't really gotten anything new to post. We plan to work on the low sodium recipes this month, so I ask each of you to PLEASE submit a low sodium recipe to the site, do so by e-mailing them to me. Hopefully that will be up and working right after the holidays.
It takes each of you to keep the message board rolling, and I am so glad to see your posts. The website has been rolling for almost 2 months, and we have over 200 messages. I have decided not to delete any and just let them archive on different pages, so that those who join us late will be able to go back and read them, as will we if we ever need a little extra comfort.
A big thanks to Susan, our ask a nurse for keeping questions answered on our messageboard, she just jumps right in and offers very useful information, and also a thanks to Big Dave, seems when no one else is posting, you are! And it is wonderful to know that husbands care about us PPCMers.
We've also welcomed Cara (user caramommy) to our site, who found out she has PPCM and has already began to heal, especially emotionally, as we all know how hard it is to be diagnosed with this!
Also, have you been considering having another baby since you were diagnosed? Rumor has it several members would like a page devoted to facts, statistics, stories and information on pregnancy after PPCM. If you have any links or information, or if you would just like to write in about why you are longing for another child, please also do that by emailing me.
Thanks for your ongoing use of the website, it makes it all worthwhile to my husband and I to see PPCMers (and their spouses) gain and give support here.
Husband's Note: Glad to see all of you enjoying the site! I haven't had much of an opportunity to work on the redesign lately, but am still planning on finishing it up soon. Hopefully we will be posting by the beginning of the year. Keep those suggestions coming. Thanks!
