It's been a while so I thought I ought to update this blog. I have been to 2 clinical trial infusions which I do once a month. there have been no noticeable side affects but I have no noticeable benefits either. Things have remained stable so far. Maybe I am on a placebo and that is why. time will tell I guess.
I am very thankful that I can function very well during the day and maintain my oxygen levels above 90 with normal activities. Try to jog or lift or anything strenuous and that is a different story. I am on oxygen at night and actually prefer the mask--it keeps out noise and keeps my airways open. I do sleep better with it.
Spring is almost here and I have to admit I get jealous when I see the joggers out. I am greatful though that I did have that era in my life and will always be thankful. I tried jogging with oxygen but it didn't seem to make any difference.
Anyway, Life is good!

This blog is dedicated to the biggest Ute fan and the best guy in the world - Dwight Osborn. He was diagnosed in July 2009 with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a deadly lung disease with no known cure or treatment that kills as many people every year as Breast Cancer. He was put on the transplant list at the U (go Utes!) on November 29, 2011. We received the call on Friday, December 23rd around 7pm and Dad received the greatest gift ever on Christmas Eve. It really is a wonderful life!
