It's a new year with spring around the corner and lot's to look forward to. This Friday is my last infusion session at the U with the clinical trial I have been participating in the last year. The next several months will consist of monthly check-ups and blood tests to see if there are any significant changes after concluding the clinical trial.
It's hard to believe that it has been 18 months since the diagnosis. Things seem to be holding steady and life is good. I anxious to see the results of a high resolution x-ray of the lungs which I will have soon. We will compare that to the lungs 18 months ago and see if there as been any progression of the fibrosis or scarring.
We will be spending most of January and all of February in St. George and Palm Springs to get out of the cold weather and inversions. This is another one of the sacrifices I have to make due to this disease. What I have to go through!!
Hope to keep in touch and see you all soon.
Happy New Year!!
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!
