Slam Dunk!

Welp folks I nailed another biopsy and echo yesterday! I have been feeling so good lately and I feel so blessed to be feeling this way. The docs told me I am doing great and to keep up the good work. They also told me that the patients that usually try to go back to their old way before being diagnose are the patients that strive, rather than the ones still acting ill and sick all the time. Ever since my schooling, I cherish the body. The body is such a miraculous creature and what the abilities it has amazes me. So very thankful for my healthy body. Yesterday the docs told me to go down on my predisone aka chubby face medicine, but I guess I went down too much on the dosage at my last biopsy... oops! So they just said to continue on taking 12.5 mg or 2 1/2 pills a day. I can't wait to get off that drug only 3 more months!!
On the 15th Genae (one of the BA LVAD nurses) and I went for a hike up Millcreek Canyon. We just chatted about medical stuff, my new job, and basically caught up on what was going on with our life. Wow, I absolutely love nature, I mean I have always liked the outdoors, but I blows my mind every time. I also love just sitting on a rock and listening to the stream, the birds chirping up in the trees, feeling the breeze on my face and smelling the fresh air.
I am so stoked to start my new job. Can't wait to get in there and get my hands dirty! Physical therapy is amazing and works if you the patient or client does the work.
Well guys, thank you for all your support and prayers. I truly appreciate them all!


Beautiful view huh? 


Me, Genae and lil Cache

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 ...

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 wit...

FOREVERRRRR

I know it has been a while since my last post and I have been debating to post for the past 3 months. I was hiking with one of my friends and we were talking about my blog and adoption. I said it is sometimes hard because the main reason why I started this blog is to be my true self.  I know I have been talking about surrogacy and adoption and the that jazz. But sometimes I feel like I am putting on this persona that isn't me. I want to be real with all y'all still supporting me on this wild crazy adventure. So the main reason why I haven't posted is because there hasn't been any big news. I remember posting something about enjoying normal life once I got out of the hospital and yes normal life is great. But define normal life? No one's life is normal! It is more like chaos. Steve and I (mainly Steve) our redoing our new home we bought back in May and let me tell you it has been a whirlwind. Hoping to be in the house by mid September. We are back in the garage...
