Today marks the six month anniversary of my surgery. It is astonishing what I am able to do in such a short amount of time. I jump roped forty jumps the other day and wasn’t out of breath! I could never even attempt that before my transplant. The lack of lung capacity and the oxygen tubing each would have limited me to ONE jump.
Thank you everyone for all the continued support in my recovery. I know my healing has been excellent because of all of you. Whether it was being on “Nikki watch”, helping with food, supporting my family, sending me a note of encouragement or simply saying a prayer, they have all made this journey incredible. I am forever grateful for all of you in my life. I am also forever grateful to my donor and their family for the greatest gift of all.

Congrats Nick on this huge milestone, I will be in Minneapolis in a few weeks and want a night out to celebrate – your choice on the place, my treat.
Tell Trav I’ll take him up on the offer of lodgings by the lake.
Looking forward to hanging out with you guys, it’s been over a month and I have that T&N itch.
See ya soon.

Congratulations on your sixth monthsary Nikki! Your courage and positivity is worth commending and emulating.I admit I feel a little worried and scared yet happy at the same time to hear that you can actually do forty jumps now just after six months, that kind of progress is a manifestation on how well your body is fully adjusted and recovered. However, don’t stress out your body too much dear, just listen and be kind to it. We support you all throughout your journey!
