2 months!!

It has been a full 2 months since Gus was placed in me and I have been out of the hospital for 21 days today!! Whoot Whooot! And how very thankful I am for all those days truly. So I really do have Celiacs disease ha I know this because I ate about 12 or more I wasn't counting chocolate riesens and Steve was like Ashley those aren't GF and I was like ya they are look. I grabbed the bag and started looking over the ingredients and oops there was wheat in the ingredients! For Celiacs disease you cannot eat anything that has wheat, barley, rye, or oats in it. Pretty much everything that is good. So I was on and off the toilet all night haha pretty fun...NOT!! Anyways, everything is going dandy here just waiting for my new heart. Thank you for all the prays and love I truly feel each in every one of them so THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!


Wrigley was wondering who's bummed that there is NO snow on the ground this close to Christmas? He's not so happy about it.

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...

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 ...

say hello

. A normal, wonderful week I had. First off, I took out my stitches and it wasn't good. After they were all out the cut re-open, so I called my friend that's a physician assistant and she was a miracle worker. I shouldn't have taken out my stitches because where I cut my hand has so much tension a lot of the time. At first she put this dermabond  on it, which is basically like superficial stitches. That lasted 2 days, I was getting a little nervous because my skin around the cut was white and the opening of the cut was too far apart. Now I have steri -strips on it for it to heal a lot closer. Anyways, it is healing and this is not infections going on so I am happy. Left: stitches out  Right: dermabond My cousins were in town this weekend. We went up to Bell's Canyon to go hiking. They live down in Monticello, Utah, which is a town outside of Moab. It is always great to see them, My grandpa that passed around the same time my first transplant failed use to live...
