This past weekend was the Pittsburgh marathon... It seemed so appropriate given the marathon Bobby is running right now in this journey for his lungs.....
We are now one week and a day from new lungs and Bobby is still fighting. He is using his lungs well every day. His heart is working hard to keep up with the demand of these new lungs and slowly slowly slowly he is healing. He is still kept asleep and on a ventilator to allow the slow healing and recovery process to continue... Life is a marathon... It takes energy and commitment and the prayers and support of loving friends and family.
Barbara has made many new friends while in Pittsburgh. She has grown a supportive network of friends who share their own stories of the marathons they are running in life. She also has lots of family coming to sit with her and with Bobby. She has her Sister-in-Law with her, nieces have come to visit, and today her niece Sarah (yet another favorite niece) and daughter Carolyn are visiting!
This is a beautiful time of year, spring is here, good weather and good fishing awaits. Thank you so much for all your prayers and words of encouragement. Bobby is running, slowly and surely he is moving forward in his marathon of life. Thanks you for your cheers from the sidelines! Keep up the noise it makes it so much easier when you have folks cheering you on.
