Guns and Labs

Duke called about my labs. My kidney function is doing better since lowering the Prograf (anti-rejection med), so they were very pleased about that. My hemoglobin is still pretty low, but that's probably due to the fact that I'm not eating that great because of the nausea. They are switching one of my anti-rejection meds to a different brand that's supposed to be easier on the stomach. I've tried it before, and it didn't help the nausea, but that was when I was in kidney failure, so that could have been the reason. My potassium is still low, but a few days of eating a couple of bananas a day will bring that back up.

Balin is running around like he has nothing wrong with him!! We have stopped all the meds, and he is still acting like he is fine. i guess it wasn't as bad as they said it was. It's so hard to keep him from jumping on things, because he's back to his hyper little self.

We finally made it to the gun range today. Casey's allergies were really bothering her yesterday, so we didn't attempt to go spend hours outside at the range. We went after we picked her up from school today. She is very accurate at shooting and really enjoys it. Here are some pics we took today...










Check this out everyone!! It's a friend of mine, who's a fellow CFer/transplant recipient, who just ran her first 1/2 marathon, AND it was only 8 months and 21 days after her double lung transplant! You will be amazed! What an inspiration you are to all of us Sara!
