Happy Birthday Cathy

Today there was a noticeable improvement in Cathy's breathing, and comfort in general. The swelling in her legs has gone down significantly. There is still some swelling to be removed. In the past 48 hours Cathy has shed over 14 pounds in fluid weight

Tonight is the four year anniversary of Cathy's transplant. This was another long night in our lives. We are both grateful for that second chance and have cherished every extra moment of life that miracle has given her. It is a little bittersweet that we are celebrating this re-birthday in the hospital.
