bubble time!!!


This pic was taken last night oh so cute!
Dear friends,

Yesterday Brian and I went back to San Francisco for our first check up since I got out of the hospital. We were not excited about going back but we knew it had to be done. Luckily we heard good news. The doctors said all of my numbers in my blood looked perfect and normal. He said that I looked great! Thank you Jesus!!!! We are still in Carson City spending time with my sister. They have been so wonderful to us. I thank God for such a dedicated and loving family. I've gained a little bit of weight, not much but its something. Its just going to take time. I've never really been one to gain weight anyway so it will be a challenge for me but I'm up for the task. My little Wyatt is doing wonderful. He just turned 9 months and is trying to crawl. My sweet Brian is a continued support to me and is doing well. I'm so thankful to have him.

look at me! I'm in mom's bed!!

A few days before I left the hospital.

Home for the Holidays

My Dear friends,

I am so thankful to be out of the hospital. This last venture to the hospital lasted 16 days. We are currently in Carson City NV staying with my sister Denise Bobo and enjoying the comforts of their home. We were able to celebrate a late Christmas together with my family and if felt so good. I'm still very weak and shaky from this last treatment and currently weigh 110 lbs on my 5'8' frame, so I'm very skinny. But my family is working on fattening me up. And I'm trying to exercise to build my muscle tone back. I've taken myself off of my pain meds, sleeping pills and anxiety medication. I refuse to become dependent on them. Nightime insomnia is a real challenge but I'm working through it. Well I'm very thankful to be enjoying the new year. Having a liver transplant has changed my life forever. I take nothing for granted anymore. I'm so thankful for every morning that I wake up next to my husband and get to hold my beautiful little boy. God is so good to me. Brian and I are enjoying this blog so much! You are so supportive and such an encouragement. We will continue to keep everyone posted on anything new that comes up. Please continue to pray for our family as we take one day at a time. We love all of you.
