Hey YA'LL

I didn't forget about cha don't you be worrying! My laptop decided to be a little bit slow so I had to take her in to Simply Mac and it is taking fooorrevverrrr! Hopefully tomorrow I will get it back, cross your fingers. Today is Monday and I did not sleep at all last night, my brain would not shut off and this morning I had another biopsy, echocardiogram and clinic visit. No more twice a week visits, thank goodness.  I am sooo sick of biopsy, the doctor really numb me up real good today, I could flick my chin afterwards :)
Here are the results: Everything is the SAME!! Boring I know, but hey I am glad I am boring actually! I hope I am going to be a plain ol' janer patient from here on out for a long time.
I have been feeling great lately. I have been going on walks, enjoying this great sunshine with sunscreen and a large hat and trying to put some LB's on me.
Steve, my dad and I went golfing today, well they did the golfing I was there for  moral support and to walk with my dad.
Can't believe I am almost 1 month out, time flies when you are having fun!!
Thanks again for your prayers and support, you guys are the reason why I get up every day!

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 :)

A Set-Back

I was hoping by now Ashley would be writing you, telling you how wonderful she is doing, but you get to hear from me again. Ashley had a major set back early Friday morning her new heart was failing her. It started with her getting nauseated and then by a couple of weird readings on the telepromter . She was sent back to the operating room to see what could be done. She has been placed on full bypass and full support so her new heart can rest. There are no signs of rejection and the doctors are in a conundrum, they don't know what happened. Ashley is sedated completely , she will not remember any of this. The hope is her heart will rest and come Monday or Tuesday they will begin to see what kind of load her heart can hold. Ashley needs your prayers and thoughts more now than ever, she is so strong and has the will to overcome anything throwing her way. We all believe in miracles and pray that one is happening for Ashley.
