surrogacy or what?

What my doctors said about me going to get my eggs harvested... They gave me a name of OBGYN that is great at getting eggs out. They never said yes or no about surrogacy. The main concern they have is when the OBGYN wants to get my eggs ready they have to put me on these hormones to get my eggs at the right stage. When women go on hormones they are more susceptible to get blood clots. Me and blood clots do not go very well and I do not want anything to do with them. They don't know if I am going to have to stop taking my blood thinner eliquis or not, but I have to wait til my annual visit. Which is okay by me. Every time I see a kiddo, I want to eat their faces off, but not like the walking dead stuff :) I just want a little guy that I can teach, watch it grow, to love, care, laugh together, stay up at hours that everyone should be asleep. Steve and I have been searching for an attorney and I think we have found one. Great appointment status right there. 

This past week has been normal. Still train for my half marathon, I ran the furtherest I have ever ran in my life. 8 miles!! Not on the treadmill though, thank goodness. The air quality was good so I took advantage of it. Amazed, I am about how beautiful our earth is, the sort of freshness of its air, and outstanding trees and mountains. Love this time of the season. 

Saw my good friend Mandy this weekend and she is moving to Hawaii.  I never thought about it when I put on my sweatshirt. She though it was fate. Going to miss her. Such an intelligent, strong, amazing and long legged woman. Love your guts gonna miss them too. 
Todays thought..."May we be devoted and disciplined followers of Christ. May we cherish him in our thoughts and speak his name with love."

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 hav...

Stinking INR

Another day in this lovely hospital because my stinking INR will not get were in needs to be. INR means International Normalized Ratio, its a number that describes your bloods clotting factor. Doctors want my INR to be around 2.0 but I am stuck at 1.5, a normal person should be below 1.0. So the higher the INR the thinner the blood. Because I have an LVAD they are very picky about my INR because they don't want a clot to form in my LVAD. But, if my INR gets too high I bleed, so it's a fine line we are walking until I get my new heart. On a higher note, my mom and I did some crafts.... getting ready for Christmas and my baby boy Wrigley came and visited me, some of you are thinking Wrigley is a terrible child's name but he is actually my French Bulldog :)

New Day, New Chapter, New....????

After the other days SHOCKing experience, I had to go into the clinic today to have my device interrogated.   Basically find out why I got shocked…. Was it warranted?? My device is set to SHOCK me if my heart gets beating too fast, like 180bpm or higher. Which I guess I excreted myself too much yesterday. This is a little bit upsetting, I was hardly up the trail and I got shocked. How am I supposed to do anything physical and not get shocked? Think about trying to exercise but also having to worry about a horse kicking you in the chest at any time.   Leaving the clinic I was pretty bummed… Is my heart just getting worse? Anyway, I went to work at straws and about an hour into work the clinic was calling me. I didn’t want to answer because I had a feeling my INR would be too low again and I would have to be admitted to the hospital. Anyway, I answered and Dr. Kia was on the line. He said “I heard you left upset from the clinic today?” I figured he was about to give me a pe...
