My First Blog

Hi Everyone! I am so excited to write my first blog and allow you all into my daily life. I know it has been a few years since a post has been written on this website but now with the new layout (thank you so much to Kevin Smith! You are the best!!) I plan to write at least once week. A couple of things I would like to tell you first on how to navigate through this website. If you would like to register as a member, you need to do this if you would like to comment, please send me an email with your name, email, and password. A confirmation email will be sent back to you. My transplant medical posts are divided between my first and second experience. Currently I have a donate button for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, but soon will be adding PayPal to donate to The Lung Transplant Foundation also. The picture at the bottom of the homepage is attached to Flickr. Click on the photo and it will take you to my photostream, pictures of me, my surgery, and my friends.

Now, on my health, it is good. Over the summer I had a bout of rejection and was given a strong medication, AKA Rat-G. As of September I needed to have three clean bronchoscopies, so far I have had one, all clear! I did have my second last week, but not enough tissue sample was biopsied so I have to have yet another. However, if it is clean I don’t have the procedure again until next year! Cross your fingers!

Today, Kasha (Travis’ sister and my Oregon girl) was in town. We were quite lazy today, me sleeping off and on until 3pm and Trav and Kasha battling each other on an Xbox game. Now we are waiting for the Oregon football game to start at 10pm, Go Ducks!
