Hello everyone,
I am just sending warm wishes from sunny Florida to all of you. Even my friends in Texas are frozen. I have been on the road since Monday doing installs in Knoxville, TN and Sarasota, FL. It sure feels good to work again, and the 80 degree temperature sure doesn't hurt either. I saw Dr. Sorrell last week, and although he wants to see my liver functions return to normal, they are not going up, and that is good. They are close to normal. They did reduce my prednisone, which is a blessing. I am flying back into Omaha tonight, and will have labs in the morning at UNMC. In the next couple weeks I will have my 3 month follow-up CT scan of my chest, abdomen and pelvis. I will have them every 3 months for a year, to make sure the cancer does not return. In my mind that is not an option, and I try not to worry about it. I feel great. Without the scar and handful of pills I take daily, I would not know I had a liver transplant. For those of you that are wondering, I have not heard back from the donor family. I will continue to write, and maybe someday I will.
I would like to ask all of you to add Forrest Stone Allen to your prayers. I work with his father who is an equine vet in Virginia. I have had the pleasure of working with his mother Rae as well. She is the dolphin specialist I installed for at Dolphin Quest in Hawaii last February. Their son Forrest was in a snowboarding accident a few weeks back and suffered a brain injury, as well as 2 broken vertebrae in his back. They will be moving him to a rehab center in Atlanta tomorrow. I pray for his recovery everyday. He is blessed with a wonderful support system, and I know how important that is for a successful recovery. When we have hope, we can conquer the fear. You all give me hope, and I want to pass it on to Forrest.
Follow his blog at www.forreststoneallen.blogspot.com if you are interested. He has many challenges ahead, but from what I read about him he will rise to the occasion and face them head on.
Bless you all,
Trisha
