6 months today!

It is incredible to think that at this point six months ago we were hours into the transplant, waiting for news.  Kids playing in the park always looking up the hill at the hospital prepared to sprint with news.

As we think back it sure seems like a long time ago.  Unsure why or if that is good but it does. The details of that day have not faded they are all as vivid now as they were then.  It just seems like that was a different life.

Life today is amazing.  Laura could not be doing any better, seriously could not be doing any better, her tests are through the roof. As we take small local trips they all have activities planned, paddle boarding, biking, hiking and food.  All simple things that most take for granted but were not even options.

Weekends now start early with flag football and then the rush to soccer.  A birthday party or basketball tryouts squeezed in for good measure. The chaos of kids and sports is in full swing and it is pretty great to do it as a family.

Six months post transplant is another milestone. One of many on the road map but a big one.  This one will enable us to travel a bit more in the Continental US which is very exciting. What ever that next trip is we know it will not involve letters to airlines to allow oxygen, letters to hotels to receive oxygen shipments, wheelchairs and a full piece of luggage with just supplies. The fact that we have options is and of itself pretty cool.

The comments, emails, cards and general kind words that are shared with us on a regular basis are terrific.  Those comments and your support are enabled us to achieve this milestone.  We do not take it for granted that we have the best support network possible.

Cheers

The Zs
