Going on 5 months!

Well can you believe it, almost 5 months on the new lungs! I am still doing wonderful. My latest PFT's were 116%

I have moved back home and am enjoying life very much!

I've established my monthly routine of doctors and lab tests, and daily routine of medicines. Things are going well and really nothing new to report.

I can report that I have been exercising nearly everyday. I walk at least 2 miles a time and am slowly starting to jog more and more. I was at home for my mouse races and amazed mom and dad with how well I could walk and run. I think I outlasted them and the dogs this time.

The mouse races turned out excellent, thanks to all that helped, attended and participated in the event. It was great to see so many supportive people. I'm truly blessed for all the support I received and continue to receive on this journey.

I have been enjoying life, just doing the daily things people do and spending as much time as possible with my son. I've cut the grass and worked in the yard already this year. I cannot tell you how amazing these new lungs are and the ease at which I am able to do anything. The shortness of breathe is gone. The long drawn out coughs, gone! Other news, I am getting ready to start coaching Brayden's t-ball team and am looking forward to the ease to which I will be able to participate with the kids this year. I've also been spending a good amount of time with my girlfriend. Again, just enjoying the blessed life that I have.

Many thanks for all the prayers and support!
