Prayer requests from HPSland

Here are the prayers and concerns I know about. Please share with us if you've got something that I should have included. (I meant to post this yesterday, but got too busy)



I haven't talked to Carmen M. in a week, but Donna tells me she's holding steady. Everyone that deals with Carmen M. regularly tells me that our sending her cards and letters is doing wonders for her spirits. Keep it up! I feel bad because I didn't send anything to her last week - but I'll get back on track this week.


I've been trying to understand Yary's posts on Facebook. It's a Spanish challenge for me. I'm not sure if she's still in the hospital, but it does seem as though she's having some trouble with medication side effects.


Continue to keep Maria M. in your prayers for a transplant breakthrough! It's complicated when you need both a lung and a kidney.


Continue to keep Cesily in your prayers. She's got a long road ahead of her. Also remember her husband.


Continue to keep Maria G. in your prayers for comfort, as well as her family. Laura, we love you!


Please pray for Fran and all the others here who are coping with grief and loss that they might find peace and comfort.


Please pray for all those needs we know are out there, but remain unspoken.


Please also pray that HPS fundraisers continue to go well and that we are able not only to get back to where we were, but surpass it and once again be able to offer money to researchers to increase the amount of research going on.




Don't forget to e-mail me with any other requests so I can include them on Wednesdays.

Ratner's Cheesecake

Here's another recipe from Toby! Thanks Toby......and I'll get the others posted soon! Ratner's Cheesecake and plain cookies Ratner's was a Jewish dairy restaurant in the lower East Side of Manhattan. This recipe, from my disintegrating, no longer in print Ratner's cookbook, is the closest I've ever gotten to reproducing the rich, heavy cheesecake my mother made when I was a kid. It's worth the time it takes to prepare and every last calorie. Dough Can be prepared in advance. Makes enough for two cakes. Can be frozen or used to make cookies – see recipe below. 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup shortening 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1 cup butter 2 eggs 3 cups sifted cake flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients with hands. Refrigerate 3 -4 hours, or preferably overnight. Filling (for...

The next generation with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome

I'm so behind on posting about the trip to Puerto Rico. Since the episode of Mystery Diagnosis on Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome ran right after we got home, it's been a little busy. These, however, are my favorite pictures from Puerto Rico. I know, not pretty senery etc - but these little guys and gals inspire me. They are the next generation of folks with HPS, and if we keep up the hard work, they will live better lives because of it. They motivate me.

The blog is back, I hope

  What started as a way to share news about HPS and what it is like to live with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome has fallen apart badly! There are a lot of reasons for this. Some are related to health. Some are related to time. And some are related to mental health. Finally, the last obstacle was technical. I lost access to my blog. Every time I started to work on regaining access, something interrupted the process and I’d have to start all over again. Before you say it, I know. A blog is so old school. Haven’t you heard of a vlog Heather? Or maybe TikTok? I know my limits. I have a great face for radio. I’m not particularly eager to film myself. When I do, I feel I need to spend extra time putting on makeup or fixing my hair. Yet, often when I have the time to do something like this, it is early in the morning or late at night. I don’t want to “get ready.” I’m having a hard enough time squeezing this in without staging myself. Grin. I’m trying to start with small goals. Right now, I...
