Hi everyone! Well,
it's been pretty boring around here! We saw Dr. Wigfield, who will be the
lead surgeon taking Dr. Love's place, on June 2. He seemed very
interested in my case and making me comfortable. He had personality and
spunk. I felt he was just as accomplished as Dr. Love, but he just
doens't get/take much credit. NOw that he will be the head, maybe we will hear
his name more! He made me feel confident in moving forward with the
program.
I spoke to the
Procurement Nurse the other day. I am listed as #2 for my blood type at
Loyola and #3 for my blood type in the region, so my time is approaching, slow
but steady! Sidenote, the patient waiting in front of me for lungs
received her gift of life on May 18th and is home now and doing fabulous!!!!
I have to keep those success stories in the forefront of my mind.
This Friday, Joe and I
have our dream portrait scheduled that we won (thanks to a lot of you guys
voting for us!). Check out the photographer's website: http://www.wancketstudios.com/ and
re-read our dream wish submission here.
Her photography and art is so exquisite, but ours will be a bit more on the
casual side since we are including the doggies!
Joe participated in his
first 10K and ran in memory of his Mom. I am proud of him for training
hard and completing it in under 1 hour. WOW! Next, he will be running half
marathons and maybe a triathlon!
On the running note, my
friend, Jeff, is running the 2012 Chicago Marathon and has generously offered
to run in support of Lungs For Laura! We setup a separate
donation page for his run with 100% of the donations going to
COTA for Laura Anne M. What a swell guy!!!! Thanks, Jeff!
So here I am,
waiting....bored....living vicariously through others, so please if you are
bored too, make a time to stop over! Keeping positive thoughts here, over
and out!
XO
