I have been lacking in the post department lately. It’s really nice to be enjoying life without medical issues getting in the way. The last few months have been great! Scott is feeling better than he has in a very long time! He is not suffering with any infections, colitis, kidney problems or heart failure right now. He still has energy after work and on the weekends to go out, clean the garage, hike, bikeride, drive kids around to activities and enjoy life. What a marvelous change! I have the new experience of occasionally wondering if I can keep up to him. He has been going to the gym regularly and building up strength and endurance. He has increased his work hours and is using public transportation. He is noticeably happier and so is the rest of the family.
I guess that’s why I haven’t posted lately. I just feel like I’m bragging! It has taken over 2 years but Scott is finally enjoying the full benefits of having a new heart! I have always been grateful that he survived his transplant even with all of the difficult times that came after. However, I am SO HAPPY that he now feels great!!! There were many times when I wondered if he would always feel unwell in one way or another.
We have many plans for the next few months. We want to enjoy the mountains. We are going to attend a family reunion and we have a trip booked to Italy! Can you believe it!? I am really excited. It will feel like a trip to celebrate how good life is. Life IS good.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very happy uplifting post. We like that!
Hi. You don't know me, but I thought it was time to let you know I follow your blog. Can't even remember how I stumbled upon it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway.....I use to be Scott's mom's V.T. all those many years ago when they lived in the Calgary 18th Ward (that no longer exists).
This is SUCH great news for you and Scott and your sweet sweet little family. The Lord has been so mindful of you all.
Congrats! Have a wonderful time in Italy. (It's on my bucket list. ; D }
So glad to hear that life is treating you well. We know that you really deserve it. We miss and love you!
ReplyDeleteAnxious to see you and what to hear the details.
ReplyDeleteI also was elated to read your post. Events here prevented me from responding at that time.
ReplyDeleteIt's not bragging if you are stating the facts ... a happy, good life is a fact.
Be well and God Bless your entire family!!
Hi! Just came across your blog and was so encouraged to hear how well your husband is doing. My husband also received a new heart 2 years ago this August and it has been a bumpy road ever since. The new heart is fabulous he has had other complications. It was great to be able to connect to another wife/mom of young kids who cares for her husband if even through your blog. I am so glad to hear your husband's health has improved and vacations are on the horizon!
