Sure getting a chance to use our snowshoes with all the snow we have been getting! Last Saturday five of us walked across the lake to our friends house. They weren’t home, or they were afraid to answer 🙂 Lauren didn’t have school Monday so we strapped the shoes back on and tried out walking art. We made a BIG heart that you can see in the snow. Did I mention before I love winter?
I was able to speak at my first drivers education class about the importance of organ and tissue donation since my transplant on Wednesday night. It was incredible to share a different story, a post transplant story rather then a pre. I then spoke to a group of wonderful people Thursday morning.
My medication levels are still jumping around so we switched one of my anti rejection meds to liquid, that way we can make minuscule changes. And my white blood cell count dropped a bit again so we decreased the medication. Luckily it hasn’t dropped enough to put me back on house arrest!
Today I tried something new, ice fishing! Thanks to my donor, I’m doing all these fun things I never thought imaginable. I thought about my donor and their family and said a prayer for them as I am able to do all these wonderful new activities.

Thank you Peggy, it was awesome Scott came with us. No, not a single fish but we had a great time. It was cold but luckily one of our friends brought a propane heater, it helped a lot.
