Update: 10 days Post- Transplant

L'SHANA TOVA!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! What an amazing beginning!!!

Fall is approaching, which is the corresponding season for the LUNGS according to Chinese Medicine- coincidence or fate??

Mitch is doing great.

He had a chest tube pulled yesterday and another pulled this morning.
2 out, 2 to go!
The surgeon said they will pull another tomorrow, and the last on Sunday, maybe.

Mitch is walking really fast and strong.

He is completely off the oxygen canula.
This is amazing...Mitch's oxygen saturation is 100% on his own!!! He said it doesn't even feel like he is breathing deep or trying to breathe and its 100%. Yea, pretty soon he will be taking breathing for granted like the rest of us without CF. No, I don't think that will ever happen, he just won't have to struggle to breathe.

He is talking about being the co-assistant soccer coach for Simon and Matias's soccer team with me, joining gyms, biking, hiking, playing basketball, ecetera.

Thank you for your support, updates will keep coming.

Happy Weekend!

Hey Mitch/Rebecca! I was driving to work the other day and this song came on and made me think of you in your current situation. It made me smile, so I thought I would send it along!! Hopefully you're having a lovely holiday and celebrating everything!!

Hope you were able to see the game! If not, you didn't miss much, they were SLOPPY!! We won 23-13, but Urban was up to his old conservative play calling again which = BORING, and almost losing the game. Anyways hope you are feeling well and smiling!!
