What A Day!

We were supposed to fly out to Durham today for a checkup on Thursday. After getting up at 6am, which I don't do unless I have to, and getting to the airport by 9am to get checked in etc., our flight got delayed. No problem, so we'll be there a little later than planned. Our flight was supposed to leave at 10:49am. It got pushed back to 11:34, then 12:29, then it was cancelled altogether due to aircraft maintenance. Turned out to be a mechanical failure. Thank you airline for cancelling our flight I would hate for the plane to have mechanical failure while we were in the air. So we get the opportunity to change flights without being penalized with a change fee of $150 per ticket only there are no more flights available today. Oh wait, there was one more flight leaving at 6:49pm, but there was only one seat available. Was I supposed to ride in Philip's lap? Anyway, I spent the rest of the afternoon cancelling airline tickets, rental car (which cost a $50 cancellation fee), hotel, and re-scheduling doctor's appts. Pain in the buttocks :) Once I got everything cancelled and rescheduled I got home and took a nice long nap. Maybe next time it will go as planned, we'll see.

Bring On The Sunshine!

I know I haven't been blogging like I should, but I have been too busy spending time with my two babies, Joey and Andy. I have pretty much been camped out at my sis' house since Andy was born back in February. I am living life just as I pictured it, playing with Joey in the backyard, holding sweet baby Andy, walking the doggie, and helping out around the house/shopping. I have enjoyed a great deal just being with my sis. We have always been close, but after I got so sick we were only able to spend time together by phone unless she came down to my house or to the hospital. It is wonderful to be able to spend time with her at her house for a change.

I have returned home since I started this entry and I am missing my babies. I go back to Duke this Thursday so me and Philip will be flying out on Weds. I am praying I get a good report and able to come back on Friday. I'm going to check on my friend Kerry while I'm there. She is STILL in the hospital, but I think she is finally headed in the right direction.

I heard from my friend Jessica N. that she got a good report with no rejection in her new lungs and she doesn't have to have a bronch for 1yr. Awesome! She has had a lot of stomach problems since her transplant so hopefully she is on the mend.

I went to see my CF doc that I have been seeing since I was a baby. She was sooo excited I came to see her. I told her when I left for Duke that I would be back too see her, but she said most people that have tx never come back.

I went back to church today. I haven't been to church since before transplant. I was waiting for the weather to warm up because I knew people would want to hug and shake my hand and with it being flu season I didn't think it was a good idea. It felt great to hug or shake hands with friends today and let them know how much I appreciated their many prayers they prayed for me. Our pastor made an announcement at the beginning of church about having me back and what miracles God gives. Then he asked everyone to applaud my return. It's a good thing I don't get embarrassed anymore because there was no way to be inconspicuous.;) It felt good knowing everyone cares so much. After church we went to Long's Fish Camp. It was soooo good. The last time we went I was on the medication that made everything taste terrible and because of my liver problem I was nauseated along with the distasteful food. Today I made up for it and it was wonderful! Afterward, we came home and took a nap, then went walking. It has been a great day. I still miss my babies and my sis, but I'll be back up there with them soon.

I am so glad it is Springtime! I love this time of year. I have had Spring fever and am ready for it to get warm and stay that way. Bring the Sunshine because that is the way I feel inside. Bright and Shiny! Love To All!
