Well yesterday I had my Bronchoscopy to see if I was in rejection.. Last Wednesday I went to clinic and there was fluid in my lower left lobe.. So we scheduled the bronch right away.. Those of you that don't really know about rejection, it is not something to stress over.. It is treatable.. If it is rejection I will be given IV steroid.. I have no idea on how to spell the drug so I'm not even going to attempt it right now.. I will have to look in my tx book..
It has been snowing all day up here.. There is enough to go snowmobiling again.. Yea!! My horses don't like it though.. My mom has to put them in the barn or they will pout.. For real they are baby's..
So Jake just called and said they accepted the offer we put on a house.. SWEET!! I liked this house the very first time we went and looked at it.. It has enough land we can keep our horses there too.. That is a plus.. Now we just have to have to house inspection.. If every thing goes as planned we will be closing the end of February..

4 Months
I have to start off with saying its my 4 month post transplant today.. Im doing great.. I go to clinic on the 21 of this month.. All will be well Im sure!!
Sometimes I have to ask myself why?? Why do the people who have the biggest hearts have the hard time making life work.. Its always the ones that work the hardest that get crap in return.. The ones that don't work to make life happen always get a free ride it seems..
My best friend in the whole world I call her my sister.. She has the hardest time in some categories.. She deserves the best and she seemed to have had the best only to have everything fall apart in a matter of minutes.. We have spent time taking care of each other so when one is in trouble we are there for each other.. Only this time I really cant do that much for her but just be there.. I want to so much more and it's driving me crazy that I cant.. Why do people have to go through hurdles and more hurdles.. I think all that we have been through so far in life is enough that we have grown to be who we are.. Apparently we are supposed to grow more than the normal person.. We have learned more in life than most people learn in their life time.. Since we have already been down that road we should be able to live the rest of our lives just soaking up the gift of life..
I myself am greatfull in the life I am living right now.. I have Jake in my life and I could not ask for more right now.. I am blessed that he can grow with me through this journey.. We are looking for a house we can start our lives in.. There are a couple of houses he is checking into.. We have looked at a few.. None of them are right for us.. But there will be that one that is the one.. Hopefully soon..
Well I'm off to bed.. Talk to you all later..

Be an Inspiration
Love this story and thought I would share it................... Thanks Somer
It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking.
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.
One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.His bed was next to the room's only window.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.
Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by..
Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his minds eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days, weeks and months passed...
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'
Epilogue:
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.
'Today is a gift, that is why it is called 'The Present'

Fun..
It is already the middle of January.. Were does the time go now days.. The snow is starting to melt too.. I think that just means that another storm is going to come soon.. We need some new snow for sledding.. We went up in the mountains Sunday and the snow sucked.. The trail was so bouncy.. I had to stand alot of the time or I would get pounded in the ground.. I'm not to sure that is healthy.. It was foggy too, it was a fun ride but not the best.. The trees look cold huh.. This is my brother jumping his jump that he and his friends made.. I think it looks fun but I don't think that I would dare do that.. They are being pulled behind the snowmobile going about 40 MPH and then they let go and fly through the air.. What a rush..
Ziggy loves to go outside with his grandpa and do the chores.. He will stay out all day even at the coldest temps.. He sure is a grandpas boy.. He was mad at me for making him come in and dry off and get warm.. He was also making fun of his sister who was getting a bath and a haircut.. Oh but later his turn was up, so he ran to find grandpa and stuck by his side just to look to busy for a bath.. That lil spoiled brat got away with it too.. No bath for him.. His turn will soon be up though.. Cant get away with it for too long..He did learn a new trick though.. He learned to roll over.. He is such a spaz that teaching him anything new takes a couple days.. He get so excited he cant stand it and literally bounces off the walls and all the furniture..He likes to get a running start and jump on the rug and slide across the room.. Crazy boy him!!
This morning I was looking out the window and the horses were standing perfect.. It looks like one horse with two heads.. You don't get that pic very often.. It was such a beautiful afternoon my mom rode her horses.. I will soon be there riding too.. This summer!!

Happy New Year
I hope everyone had a great and safe new year.. We went snowmobiling all day up in the mountains.. It was fun.. We started up the trail and drove up the mountain for a while.. We were almost to the top and my machine quit and would not start.. So we just put in new spark plugs.. In 5 minutes we were on our way.. We finally got up to the cabin and ate lunch and sat by the fire.. It got pretty toasty so we decided it was time to get going again.. We rode a couple more hours till we were at the very top of the mountain.. (I will get pics soon) We left at 10:30 and didn't get back till 6:30.. So it was a long day.. But a fun long day.. My cousin Rj and I were the only ones that didn't get our sleds stuck.. I'm glad for that cause I'm sure not big enough to pull them out.. After we got home we just hung out here at the house.. We all had our glass of whine to bring in the new year.. then my friend CJ came over and we ended up at our friend Roberts house.. We hung out and just before we were about to fall asleep we had Robert bring us home.. It was real late. We didn't get home till like 3:30.. We went right to sleep as soon as we got home.. I woke up at nine to take my pills and then went back to sleep for a lil bit..
Today we are celebrating my brother Tyler's birthday.. So we are having a good dinner and having a lil party tonight.. Jake hopefully is coming up for it.. If he don't then I will have to kick his butt.. Cause I can do that now.. I'm the boss here don't he know that.. lol
Well I guess better go get ready for tonight..
Love all
