is it spring or winter?

My 28th birthday was pretty darn fun. My best friend Scottie came up from Salt Lake to hang out at our new place. She had never been to Boise, so we showed her around and let her in on our spots to grub up. It was really good to see Scottie and never realized how much I actually missed her. We got our nails done, saw the Greatest Showman, ate good food and finished it off with dancing at Humping Hannah's downtown. I sure am getting up there in age, but I just reminded myself of my resolution of being in the present.

About 2 weeks ago I started doing yoga in the morning for about 20-30mins and setting an intention before I start my flow. By setting an intention allows me to start my day off right and makes me happy. Each day I notice something different because it is a new day.  My gratitude for my body has intensified as well for my ability to hold/transition throw the poses. Some day my balance is on point and others I am completely worthless, but each time I get on my mat marks a time to better myself and outlook on life.

This past weekend Steve and I went to the McCall Winter Festival with Matt, Kate and Boggs.  I was the my first time and I was looking forward to see the ice sculptures, but they were more like packed snow sculptures.  The sun was shining and everyone had a good time. The sculptures were all around the town, so there were people walking everywhere.  We took a pit stop at Albertson's to have Boggs get out and move. Walked around a little bit more. Ate at KB's Mexican joint, by the time we were done eating there was double the people there, so we decided to head home.  We all had a great time spending time together on the way up and down, as well as walking around. Very glad to have family that lives nearby.

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.
