los siento amigos

One day late, but always better late than never, huh? Alrighty folks this week was a pretty monumental because I am now 8 months...craziness to actually think that.  I feel normal like I told all ya'll last post I'm now back playing soccer, working my bum off at work, running when its not that cold outside. My mom and I are going to run a 5k on Thanksgiving day rather than a half marathon, but trust me, I am going to run one before my 1 year mark...promise. I feel like once I begin and over that first hill and I get my breath under control I feel like I could run for like 3 miles. Given that there aren't any major hills and I am running a 12 min mile. Afterward I feel so thankful and so good. It is so great that I am able to do these things again and I have to give it all to my donor and her family.
About my prograf level this week again I was low a little bit higher than last time, but I am going in tomorrow morning to see my docs and get my alomap done. They wanted me to take a half of a prograf, but its a capsule pill and you can't half them and I didn't got to Target to get my pills. We went to St. George to visit Gma this past weekend and to see a family friend get married in Las Vegas. Miss living in St.G the air quality there is amazing to here around this time of year.

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 ...

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 wit...

FOREVERRRRR

I know it has been a while since my last post and I have been debating to post for the past 3 months. I was hiking with one of my friends and we were talking about my blog and adoption. I said it is sometimes hard because the main reason why I started this blog is to be my true self.  I know I have been talking about surrogacy and adoption and the that jazz. But sometimes I feel like I am putting on this persona that isn't me. I want to be real with all y'all still supporting me on this wild crazy adventure. So the main reason why I haven't posted is because there hasn't been any big news. I remember posting something about enjoying normal life once I got out of the hospital and yes normal life is great. But define normal life? No one's life is normal! It is more like chaos. Steve and I (mainly Steve) our redoing our new home we bought back in May and let me tell you it has been a whirlwind. Hoping to be in the house by mid September. We are back in the garage...
