time

I feel like there isn't enough light in the day to get everything I want to get done. I have struggled to get up in the morning because the sun has been sleeping in too, Booy... I am looking forward to daylight saving. With a full time job it is crazy how fast the week goes by. I can remember when I was young when my mom told me to wait a week. Back then a week was a century, but now it is nothing. I feel like I have expressed this once before in my blog. It is funny at certain times in our lives, how the value of time changes. It is important to take the moments in our days to take a step back and analyzing ourselves in how we are doing, every once in a while. For me every week I begin to think about what I am going to write in my blog post I start analyzing myself on my actions of the past week. Sometimes I feel like what I am doing isn't my best and sometimes I think to myself, "you have done your best," but let me be completely honest this isn't common. If I continue to keep trying to do my best according to God's will. He will be cheering me along; being committed to Him is something that I am hoping to accomplish here on this earth.
I have been running up in the foothills on all the trails and it is a lot of fun to be out in nature. It is kind of tricky because sometimes I don't know where I am going, but with friendly and helpful people eventually I find my way. This weekend we went on a walking tour of Randolph and Robertson's area where there is a little pocket of mid-century homes. We meet some cool people that enjoy the architecture of mid-century homes just as much as we do or even more.

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 :)

New Day, New Chapter, New....????

After the other days SHOCKing experience, I had to go into the clinic today to have my device interrogated.   Basically find out why I got shocked…. Was it warranted?? My device is set to SHOCK me if my heart gets beating too fast, like 180bpm or higher. Which I guess I excreted myself too much yesterday. This is a little bit upsetting, I was hardly up the trail and I got shocked. How am I supposed to do anything physical and not get shocked? Think about trying to exercise but also having to worry about a horse kicking you in the chest at any time.   Leaving the clinic I was pretty bummed… Is my heart just getting worse? Anyway, I went to work at straws and about an hour into work the clinic was calling me. I didn’t want to answer because I had a feeling my INR would be too low again and I would have to be admitted to the hospital. Anyway, I answered and Dr. Kia was on the line. He said “I heard you left upset from the clinic today?” I figured he was about to give me a pe...
