Two years!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. Things have been pretty crazy at times.
Today is the two year anniversary of my lung transplant. I am so very thankful to have this second chance at living. Today I think of and say a prayer for my donor and their family. What a selfless decision that my donor made. As my life continues, the donor family may be experiencing many different feelings today. If you are reading this, please say a prayer for that family.

Right now, I am going through my two year medical testing, full PFT'S, blood work, CT of the lungs, dermotology, eyes, colonoscopy(yuck), and and EDG. I am very happy to say things are going well so far. I am realizing that the heat is a bit more difficult to handle though. Thank God for A/C.

It has been a very busy year for us, we have done some traveling to visit family in Kentucky and Ohio, taking a road trip. We were able to drive on some of old RT. 66, seeing some of the landmarks. I will try to upload some photos, but the comupter is not really cooperating.

So, at this two year anniversary, I am thankful to God for allowing me to continue on this planet, I am thankful to God for putting such wonderful people into my life(Dr.'s, St. Joseph's hospital, church family, friends, support group family, my wife and family) Everyone has been so supportive with words of encouragement, prayers and financial support through the NTAF.
Thank you all, especially a big thank you to my donor.
