Another year of changes


Wow, it's been about 10 months since my last post. Where to start...let's see. We had a baby boy who is now 5 months old!!!

This is actually a birth picture, I'll upload more recent picture soon.

Health wise I could not be better! Everyday I remind myself this second lease on life was a gift, and I work hard to take it for granted.

Got a new position at work, much less stressful and it works around my daily life.

Coming up on my 2 year anniversary of my transplant. Ohh I'm only taking (2) pills daily of Rapamune, which is considered extremely low. The pills are a triangular and about the size of baby aspirin. I point this out because many other transplant recipients take a cocktail of meds throughout the day. Once again I am so fortunate to only take so little medication. My labs are great, in fact my creatine is hoovering around 1.5. That's a long way from my first diagnose of renal failure with a creatine of 14!!!

I will post again after my 2 year visit. Until then...

Thats great that you are doing so well Marshall. Congrats on your new bundle of joy. He is a cutie. You are truly blessed and highly favored.

Please pass along 2 your wife that Jamie is not well. His cancer has spread to the liver and things are not looking good. I do continue to ground my faith in the fact that even in your last hour, God can perform a miracle. Please keep my family in your prayers as I will keep yours in mine.

God Bless
