Last weekend, after unpacking and getting in a bit of pulmonary rehab at the local hospital, the lung transplant patient relished time with her best buds down in Cedar Town. At the end of her stay with a friend who has a lower level apartment, she remembered she'd left a necklace behind. "Do you want me to get it?" asked one of the girls. And Alison could proudly respond, "No, I can get it" and she bounded back down the stairs and jogged back up them, never getting winded.
It was a cool moment for them all to realize no one had to wait for her to catch her breath as she climbed the stairs! The exercise work-outs continue and adjustments are continually made to the amount of Tacrolimus she needs to take. Earlier this week, Alison and her mom made chocolate chip cookies – which I was fortunate enough to sample. Yummy!
Bella the dog, is happy to have Alison home but has to share the limelight with her ... usually everyone thinks Bella The Golden Doodle is pretty cute when she carries around one of her toys or finds an envelope from the trash to tease them with. That is, until the envelope was part of the yet unopened mail and it was important insurance papers the family dog carried in her mouth!! Disaster was averted!
Since Friday is Bella's first birthday, Alison bought her a new chew toy ... and one of her friends made birthday party hats for the celebration .... I think a photo from that event will be needed .... Alison?
