What's what

Unfortunately, not a whole lot has changed since I last wrote. My mother is living with us still and will stay in Florida until I am transplanted. Monday we got word that Ashley has been approved as a kidney donor and just waiting now for the final word from the Lung Transplant Team that I am officially on the transplant waiting list. Once on the list, they predict about a two month wait.

Several have asked about my condition. I am pleased to say that I am doing and feeling very well for my lung capacity. I am at a good weight, breathing relatively comfortable, I am able to attend church and hold a calling in the Young Womens as a teacher. I can do light cleaning and cooking. We have a gym in the complex that I use, not enough, but I do use it regularly.

I have been very blessed. My lung capacity is still comprable to last time but my ability to perform is night and day different. Last time I went into transplant with a feeding tube and was basically bed ridden by the time we transplanted me. I know I have many of your prayers and blessings that have been answered to thank for this miracle.
