2 Year Anniversary

In two days it will be two years since Scott's transplant. It is still amazing. Although life continues on and our new normal is happening it still fills me with awe to know that Scott was one of relatively few people to receive this amazing gift.

Yesterday Scott had a biopsy. He recently changed his main immunosuppressent that was causing the colitis. It has since resolved!!! YAY!!!!! He is feeling so much better. The doc who did his biopsy commented on how good Scott was looking. He also said something that really stuck with me. He said that Scott has had a really rough two years since his transplant but he is much better than he was before the transplant. Sometimes I need that reminder when the medication side-effects are really difficult.

I'm grateful to have this anniversary to remind me of how far we've come. Looking back can be a faith-building experience. I still have little nagging fears about the future but I usually choose to focus on the present and enjoy every day we've been given together.



HAPPY NEW HEART ANNIVERSARY SCOTT!

  4. It is wonderful to read of Scott's anniversary! I so hope that he feels better and stronger in the future. As for your philosophy of living in the present -- brava! Those of us who have lived in the world of medical miracles and their aftermath have little else. Thankfulness for the present is our best hope for the future.

    Sending lots of love and concern.
