Thanksgiving weekend

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.. I hope everyone is ready to eat lots and lots.. First off I want to congratulate Will.. He is totally off the vent and he plans on staying off.. This will be the best holiday season for him and his family.. Way to go Harbison's...

I am going to my moms house for thanksgiving.. We are going to have a blast.. I can actually play with everyone.. Yeah!! We put our tree up last night so when we come home it will be done already..

I got the results from my bronchoscopy today and everything is clean.. I don't have clinic until my 3 month anniversary.. Things are looking good!! YEAH!!!

Everyone have a safe Holiday weekend..

My Sister & I After Banquet

Brook Showing Her New Buckles She Won

Today is my two months since my transplant and I am still kicking major butt.. I feel real good and I know my pft's are going to be in the 60"s.. That would be so so cool.. Somer says I will fly past 100%, wow wouldn't that be something.. Anything is possible..

Last Wednesday we went to a banquet dinner for my sister and her barrel racing club.. She won her first buckle and at the end of the awards they announced the most improved rider, well she won another buckle for that.. She was super exited and she was smiling from ear to ear.. We ate dutch oven for dinner.. SSOOO good.. I made Jake come too.. It was so good to see him again.. We got to go and see his mom too.. She was excited to see me, we just hung out for a little bit and then went to the dinner.. I have not had dutch oven since I moved to SL.. One year ago.. I cant believe I have lived here a year.. During the wait for my call it seemed so long and it was the longest wait I have ever had.. But now that I am done with the wait time is going by a little faster..

Its now Saturday and Cj is coming over for dinner.. I think she is taking me shopping.. We have not really hung out for a long time.. Too long.. It seems at the time of my transplant

everyone got sick.. So I have not been able to see many of my friends.. Its a good thing I saw Jake Wednesday cause he is sick today.. He had to leave work.. Oh my just talked to him and he almost got in a wreck today.. A big truck almost t-boned him.. That would be terrible.. I'm pretty sure I would come apart with out him right now..

So on Tuesday I have a broncoscopy to check for rejection.. I'm sure things are great.. And just in case i do have rejection I will do a 3 day coarse of IV steroids.. That most always does the trick and gets rid of the rejection.. I was having heartburn everyday and night so last Monday in clinic they put me on another drug for that and It has seems to be doing the trick.. I have only had heartburn once since.. We will see what Tuesday brings and I will update you all.. Until then I hope you all have a good weekend.. Enjoy what heat is left.. Cause the snow will be coming soon..

Love you all

Getting Better

I am happy to report that my clinic visit went well.. Dr.Cahill is happy with what she is seeing.. Everyone is especially happy with my pft's.. DRUM ROLLS PLEASE!!..... 54% is what I am at right now.. yip yip!! I cant be happier with the results for this week.. I wonder what I will top out at.. I cant wait to see!! I kinda like to pft's now that I can do them.. They were the biggest thing that I dreaded before transplant.. They were real hard to do with no air to do them.. I walked out side today and I realized I could smell the cool rainy air.. Before I couldn't take a deep enough breath to smell things.. Being able to do small things like that just bring that much more life in to me.. I am so very thankful that I am given this opportunity to experience life as i used to know it when I was a little girl..

No Sleep...

So tonight I was so tired and I went to bed and feel right asleep.. Aw that is so nice I usually can go right to sleep to and not wake up till the next morning when my alarm goes off to take my pills.. Well not tonight, I woke up a few hours after falling asleep and now I feel wide awake.. I have only done this once before since transplant.. That is pretty good cause my best friend never slept after her transplant.. Nope not me you tell me to go to sleep and I can sleep on command.. LOL.. Not really but almost. So now I am listening to itunes and writing to you all..

I have had a fun weekend so far.. My aunt is here as you all have read in the last blog.. So I got a wii fitness.. I thought it would be a good way to keep active in the winter while i cant really go out in big crowd's yet cause of all the germs and sick people... I DO NOT want to get sick.. I stay extra precocious cause it seems like everyone is getting sick.. That's what stinks about this time of year.. Flu Flu Flu is all around.. Not in my house though.. Anyway back to the wii.. (i easily get side tracked, can you tell..LOL) If you have never tried the wii, I can tell you right now that it really does work you out.. My friend Jackie came over tonight and I pulled out the wii and we started to play.. I had her try out all the things on it, like the soccer ball that you have to hit with your head.. Oh man that is so funny.. She kicked my trash in the ski jump.. I bet she will be sore tomorrow... I hope not but that game will do it to you when you first play it.. My sister played the baseball one for 3 hours and the next day her arm was so sore.. It was funny!! Poor girl..
I recommend that you get a wii if you are bored in the winter.. You wont put it down, trust me!!
Ha ha we also watched Baby mama.. That is a funny movie.. Go see it you will laugh..
My blood sugars have been so good these last couple days.. Perfect!!But still no weight gain :( In fact I weighed yesterday and I lost a pound.. I hope its just water weight that I lost.. Cause everything else feels great.. Even my heartburn has not been an issue the last few days.. Well last night i had it a little for a few minutes.. But that is good compared to what it was getting to..

Well I think I am going to try to figure out how to add a song to my profile.. I hope they have the song I want.. So maybe you will be able to have a little entertainment while reading my stories..
Hope you all can have a great Sunday..
Maybe I will be able to go back to sleep when I am done..

Love T

Its Thursday and my mom went home.. My aunt Candy came up to stay for a while.. Its going to be a fun month while she is here.. Candy likes to bake so i will be gaining alot of weight while she is here.. whoop whoop!! Maybe I wont have to see about doing tube feeds at night.. LOL
Man it snowed yesterday a lot... We like on a hill so we got socked in with the low clouds and the snow.. We couldn't even see across the road at times.. I didn't make it up to rehab.. But I did go down to the gym and do my missed workout.. I hope I'm not in to much trouble with them at rehab.. I'm sure I wont be in to much trouble they are way nice up there..
As far as it goes with my health everything is good.. My blood drug levels came back good.. In fact they said that they were perfect and nothing needed to be changed.. That is good!! I have clinic on Monday.. So we will see how that goes.. Well I'm off to bed so you all have a great night or day..
Love always

Winter

We are already into November, can you believe it.. The new president has been elected.. Seriously where is the time going??
I still feel good.. yea!! I have clinic on Monday, I'm excited to see what my PFT's are after 2 weeks.. I hope they are in the 50's.. I have not seen that number in like 10 years.. That's a long time.. I wonder if my legs will remember how to run after so long.. f coarse I wont be running for a while.. I have to get my muscles bake up.. They are getting there a little more each week.. During my workout my O2 level was 94.. It keeps getting better each week as well.. My weight is the same.. I just cant seem to gain anymore weight.. Hmmmm.. I think I will ask about my night tube feeds.. Maybe I can start them up.. Eat while I sleep!! LOL..
well I'm going to bed.. Get to get up in the morning for rehab.. Its not to bad now that I can do it..

Love all
