This past week has been a good week. We got snow here in Boise then frozen rain and more raining. Today is a beautiful day the sun is out and shining. Tonight we are suppose to get some more snow. With all this moisture we are receiving it has been tough to train Wrigley. Yesterday Steve dropped off Wrigley and I at our laundry mat that we do our laundry at and I was able to train him for a little bit. Wrigley does so well indoors, but outdoors is another story. There are so many distractions outside like squirrels, smells, cars and other dogs. He is getting it down, but still want to eat other dogs. We are able to get him in control easier from the training he got at Ty the dog guy.

This past week I have been seeing which day it is for Light the World. My thoughts about each day have been good, but have I followed through with my thoughts...No! I was thinking about what I do each in everyday of my week and thought I am being like Jesus by treating my patients with charity and compassion.  No matter what I try my best to show my concern and my passion of physical therapy for each of my patients. With that mindset I feel God's overwhelming comfort and love. If you haven't checked out Light the World you can by going to lds.org.

"Now is the best time to start becoming the person you want to be. -Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"With God all things are possible." -Matthew 19:26

After I read each of those quotes this past week I am going to continue to follow through with my thoughts. I might not get to all my thoughts but at least I will get to a few of them. :)

Last night we went out with some friends from our ward. We went bowling and got ice cream after. It was fun hanging out with everyone talking about whatever. We had some good laughs. It is amazing that there are friends everywhere we go as long as we open ourselves up to allowing them to come into our lives. Both Steve and I decided after moving to Boise that we were going to turn a new leaf so far I am liking the change.

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
