Another GREAT check up

Had another great check up appointment with my doctors on Tuesday. My INR is 1.9 a little on the lower side, but they didn't change anything with my coumadin level because I have been having nose bleeds that have lasted for an hour or so, I think it's because the cold weather and dry air. You gotta love Utah air ;) The doctors told me if I get another nose bleed I am going to have to go see a ear nose throat doctor.

Last night we went Walking with the Dinosaurs!! It was a blast even though we were basically the only ones without little ones. My favorite dinosaurs were the brachiosaurus that the one with the long neck and ankylosaurus with the club for a tail. I still can't believe that the club weighs 150 lbs. CRAZY! Kate (sister in-law) and I made these sweet dinosaur hoodies, well mostly Kate did all I did was cut some stuff.





So I forgot to mention that Lauren Roundy got married on December 30, 2014. Whoot whoot so dang happy for her and Brigder. The wedding was amazing as usual, but it was a cold and windy day 21 degrees to be exact! Don't worry, I had my huge parka on and a nice large scarf. Loved spending time with all our friends and catching up.


Still waiting here...I know I need to enjoy and charish this moment that I am in now because I know and understand that it will come in His time not mine. Sometimes it is really hard to remember that especailly when you are ready to Rock n' Roll!!

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...
