Progress

I feel somewhat like a new mom posting statistics about her baby. Except this is about my Dad and his new heart. He had his regular checkup yesterday and the news is all good.

Biopsy = 1.
Labs = negative for infection.
MRI = no abnormalities.
Pressures = excellent.
Hard of hearing = nothing they can do about that (but Mom did ask).

He also was informed yesterday that he could begin to do some traveling later this year as long as he doesn't fly. I know he is looking forward to getting out there and enjoying life.

On another note, Mike saved some one's life today. He was at Luby's when a woman began choking. He ended up doing the Heimlich on her and dislodged the food. There really is never a dull moment in this family.

I have to continue to thank everyone for their continued support and prayers. Dad could not have done this without his family and friends!

Another Good Report

Dad had a quick check-up at the hospital today. All went well. He had some blood work done, an echo, a breathing treatment and a doctor visit. He got good reports all around. Next visit is in two weeks. Keep praying for good results!

Doing Well

Sorry for my lack of updates these days. Things have been crazy in my household and I haven't had many free moments to give an update. The great news is things are pretty uneventful with Dad at the moment. His last biopsy and doctor visit ended with good lab results and he is now down to once a month for his biopsies. Dad is still struggling with the weakness and adjusting to the massive quantities of medication, but he is finally beginning to feel normal again. He is driving and going places on his own, making plans for camping trips and has even come to Bryan for several visits. We are so very thankful for these normal days and weeks where Dad can take time to heal and we get to spend time doing the one thing we love most...being a family.
