Friday the 13th......

SIX MONTH MARK.....Woohoo!!! Who says that friday the 13th has to be a bad day? Not us.....This is the third one this year so far and the second for Russ with a new heart. We no longer think of the it as "so whats going to happen now". We think "Oh great we have another friday the 13th, what good thing will happen today". As with all of us who have gone through receiving "the call", I can remember and I think will always remember like it was yesterday what happened. Most of you know that we were at lunch with friends, we just got to the restaurant and ordered and I was two bits into my salad. My cell phone rang, of course by that point I had the phone number for the hospital down real good, I looked at it and said oh loma linda. There was our life changing call. Onto the hospital to wait wait wait....Now its oh wow it has been six months. What seems like just yesterday one day, seems like forever the next. Thanks to everyone that have been following us. Our first year is not up as yet and there will be more to share. Hope you all will stay with us on our "Road with a new heart". And as a fellow transplantee says " and the beat goes on", Thanks Todd, I stole your saying :)
