Be Like A Dog

Day 91 or 13 weeks awaiting the call for Anna's double lung transplant....

So October 23 has come and gone. Our great math magic for predicting transplants seems to have failed. Oh Hummmmmmm. It is back to living in the moment and each day as it comes. Makes you wish you were a dog. There are a number of dogs in Anna Banana's Bunch and Roxy is one of them. You know life as a dog has great advantages. Roxy does not have a clue that we are waiting. She is waiting with us but you know she does not care. All she cares about is wagging her tail, kissing our faces and going for a walk, with a few treats thrown in between. Life as a dog is lived being present, not preoccupied with concern or worry. So it is time to live more like my friend Roxy.

Actually we now have no more future predictions to test out. That is a relief. We will now move forward with our tongue in our cheek our sense of humor attached some where in our minds and our tail wagging while we seek out signs, signs every where signs. Just for fun of course.

And here is an update on the goat yogurt, not sure at this point if it is a sign. I have now consumed 21 containers in this apartment. More has been eaten other places but what goes on here is what is of importance as I gather the vital statistics of this waiting period after 13 weeks have now passed.

And, special thanks to all of Anna's Banana Bunchers. The photos are wonderful as a collage. It makes Anna so happy. So cool to see so many friends and family being so supportive.

So, that is the update for now. All is well and we are waiting. Oh, by the way, there have been 3 lung transplants at Stanford this month with two more happening tonight as I write. Sara is on her way now to get a consent form signed so the old lungs can be researched in the CF Lab. Amazing, all you have to do is be like a dog, be patient, live in the now and lung transplants happen. 5 for this month is a lot. Maybe Anna's will be soon. It requires a match, the perfect match at the perfect time. The truth is no one knows when that will be. It is a cosmic secret never to be revealed until it is time. We will wait. It will happen. There have been enough signs to know that much at least............
