What day is it?

HUMP day!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. So yesterday, Tuesday, I had a clinic visit with the doctor. They say everything is looking and sounding great with my ticker. They remind me every time I go in that my immune system is extremely low right now and to slow down. So I nod my head, like yes, okay I understand, but inside I'm like come on people its been over 5 years and I feel amazing why can't I be doing everything I want to be doing. Like going out to dinner anywhere with a bunch of people, go to the movies with a lot of people around or even work. I wish my body would start to feel weird when I got myself in a situation that was too germy for me, if that makes sense. Anyways, my blood work came back great, except my prograf troft level was still high, 18. They want me between 12-16, so they lowered my dosage.  Next Monday I have another biopsy and echocardiogram, gotta love those days...NOT! But ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
Okay, enough about all that crap. My best friend Scottie and I went driving up to Park City on Monday and ate at Main Street Pizza and Noodles. Great GF pizza there FYI. We were chatting up a storm as usual, but this time it was more adult stuff, like how we are getting older and how we see the world differently than we did back when we were kids. Becoming an adult isn't easy its hard work, all these decisions you have to make that might change your future. I am enjoying the journey I am on though. There are so many challenges out in this world that can tear us down, but it is how we react to these challenges that makes who we are. Next time you are faced with a challenge big or small think about both sides of how you might react. Now go out there with your head held high because you got this, you soo GOT THIS!!! :)


Steve and Wrigley even say so...

Chalk It Up as a Miracle.........

Some of you may know, but Ashley went through another Heart Transplant yesterday. After her first first new heart started to fail, we re-listed on the her on the transplant list immediately. We knew getting another heart would be a long shot, but we wanted the option to be there if a heart came available. Sure enough 18 hours on the list a second heart came available that was a perfect match for Ashley. Ironically, it took 4.5 months and then 2 hearts in the same week. We, including the doctors, are all chalking it up as a miracle. It was decided not to wait to see if the first heart would handle the load she would need but rather to move forward with the new donor heart. Going through a transplant a second time makes you really feel for the family who lost their daughter, sister, spouse and friend. We are grateful again for the family and the individual who choose to give life. We were in quite a predicament and feel only divine intervention could have provided a means out. Ashley is

Stinking Breathing Tube!!!! Actually they are out!!! YAYA

Anywho the stinking breathing tube is still in, which makes it more than miserable for Ashley. She is so frustrated, can't talk, can't get anyone to understand what she is trying to say.  It's difficult to see her suffer like she has. The Dr. just told us it's not all just up to her, her lungs may just be that full of fluid that the oxygen saturation may just be low. They have gotten lots of fluid off her which is helping and we are hoping later today will be the day. It's going to take getting that out to  get her up walking and making leaps and bounds of improvements. We are calling today day 2 post surgery, she was on bypass through the weekend which did not put her ahead any, she had fluid on board already from the first surgery so now the fluid has basically compounded. 8PM Update- Breathing tubes are out, still on oxygen, much less irritated, she has one of her favorite nurses on tonight and we think another one of her fav's  will be working with her

quarantine = self reflection

I was talking with my lovely mother on Facetime this morning and she suggested to post on my blog. I look at my blog and noticed I haven't posted since November! So here you go, during this crazy time I am no longer working and my day to day tasks have shifted drastically. I am sure all of you know what is going on all over the world. I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy. I have been in this situation before. I was taken out of the game due to my heart, my life was soccer. Now my life was going to work and heading off to soccer practice, but COVID-19 has taken that away. I am reflecting on my response when my heart wasn't doing that well. At first I was frustrated and asking why? Now I am doing the same thing. WHY? Because I am HUMAN I know!!! This time I caught myself and decided to choose another route.  My alternate route has been getting outside every darn day, no matter the weather and enjoying the beauties of this earth, sun, clouds, rain, breeze, nature, the s
