Enjoy Each Day

What a gorgeous weekend! I got to work out in my flower beds. Man! - they needed the help! Bailey had a good weekend. Her grandparents from Pennsylvania visited. She always enjoys their visits.

I just spoke with a mom of another patient here. In fact, she's the mom of the boy who has "Post Cardiac Transplant Precautions" posted on his door. Turns out, he was transplanted as an infant (he's 14 now) and he's waiting on his second one together with a kidney transplant. His antibodies are elevated, too, like Bailey's were and they tried the IVIG on him, but it's not working. They tried a few other things, but they didn't work either. The doctors here are consulting with other professionals across the country, and no one knows why these treatments aren't lowering his antibodies. We talked a few minutes about how this stuff messes with your head and emotions, and his mom simply said, "We just enjoy each day with him." So, I started crying, gave her a hug, and had to walk away. But that's the key to everyone's life. Just enjoy each and every day because we never know what the future brings for anyone.

On that note, I'll let you all go. I love you all, and hope to give you all a hug very soon.

Love, Angie
