Well 2017 has began for Larry and I. We did go for our follow up appointment in Cleveland. The appointment went very well for me. The Lung transplant team, social worker, pulmonologist was very please with all of my hard work. Evidently it is benefiting me a great deal. The CT scans and X-rays showed there is no further progression, and with the pulmonary rehab that I am doing it is all proving it is helping me to strengthen my lungs.
We were told at this time I am on an even plateau to the good. Continue doing what I am doing and going to pulmonary rehab, and we will see you in the new year.
Trying to get Larry back on his feet since Dec. 2016 , Larry was hospitalized with acute Kidney Failure. He is finally back home in January 2017, and having to do dialysis 3 times weekly. With out our dear friends and church family and immediate family I would be useless.
So please pray that my strength and good health continues in the new year , and my hubby's health to return to normal .

Well it i all final now. We were in the process of selling our home, and have relocated to our new home. We have been here a month and a day. Beginning to feel like home. Our son was in from British Columbia, and leaving on Wednesday . We will miss him, but know Christmas is not that far away.
The summer seems to of came and gone so quickly, and the humidity has gotten the best of me. Unfortunately have not been able to go out much , but that is okay. Enjoying fall weather that is approaching us soon. Another trip to Cleveland Clinic to monitor my progression. Fund raising is still progressing but slow. Looking forward to another fund raiser with Papa John's in months ahead.

Each day is about trying to stay healthy and strong. On the days I do not go to rehab, I exercise on my own at home.
I have a tread mill and an exercise bike, that I use Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat. when I am not at Good Sam. Each morning is a challenge, but if you put your mind to it and your heart into it, anything you can do.
In order to Succeed you must Believe!

Check out my photos I have added to my page. I really love going to Rehab twice weekly. I made some great friends that are very dear to me. It seems no matter what kind of day you are having, or if your hurting, my friends come to the rescue. I just love being part of this group of people.
They are an inspiration to be around, the youngest person there is 51 and then I am second, and then they all are different ages, all the way to 87. As I mention what an inspiration this group is.

Lungs For Laura Oxford Working out @ Pulmonary Rehab. I go there on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to try to stay as strong as I can. We also have a treadmill and stationary bike in our basement that I use on other days except Sundays. Even with the holidays I am managing to average 1-2 pounds a week weight loss with help from Weight Watchers and my Dietitian @ Wright Patterson Medical Center. Just trying to stay as strong as possible to be healthy enough to qualify for the lung transplant list when my lungs deteriorate to the point that a transplant is the only option left.

We have been so blessed to have our son here for the holidays with us. It was so nice to have his help, his love and all of his renovation skill. Hershey and Mollie have thoroughly enjoyed having him to snuggle and play with also. Unfortunately his time is almost over and he will fly home to British Columbia tomorrow morning.
I wish he could stay longer, but I know we have been truly blessed to have him here with us. Will count the days until he can visit again during the summer months.

Laura is celebrating her 59th birthday today and wishes to thank everyone for their birthday wishes. She is so excited that her son flew in from British Columbia to spend the holidays with her. She hopes everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
