National Transplant week

I went for a run on Saturday morning, I did 27 minutes which I consider totally amazing as I haven't been out on the road for a while. I set my alarm for 20 minutes thinking that would probably be about as much as I could manage, but just kept resetting my timer and kept going. I could probably have done more but Mark had to go to work and we had to do IV's before he left.

I have been very stiff over the weekend which shows that I am not used to the road, so I plan to get out more often now, and with a refurb being done on the changing rooms at the gym, what better incentive.

Grace has been fine over the weekend and managing treatments OK. Surprisingly her breathing seems better than it has been already. This is all due to IV antibiotics and masses of prednisalone (steroids). I know that these things will help her intermittently throughout her childhood, but eventually she will more than likely need a double lung transplant........................

This week is National Transplant week, 50% of people awaiting a transplant lose their battle whilst still on the waiting list.

There is a serious shortage of donors. Please click on the following links and take time to consider becoming a donor. Thank you.
