We are hoping for a call on this Friday the 13th…. We were married on Friday the 13th and our son was born on the 13th so it is our ‘lucky’ number for sure.
We had a nice dinner with Mike and Kathy from Post Falls
Tuesday was the Lung Transplant Support Group meeting at UWMC. It is always well attended with 40+ people and new faces every month. Only 43 transplants were done in 2011, down from 53 the previous year, due to lack of donors.
Wednesday was another day at UWMC for tests and doctor appointment. Confirmed what we already knew that the disease is progressing… Dr. Raghu wants another heart cath done and he is wanting to try another drug to see if he can slow the disease process. It is quite expensive so it has to be preauthorized through the insurance and that can take several weeks. He says I am at the top of the list and the only thing going against me is the fact that I’m short and will need a short donor.
Last night we woke up to the sounds of a cat fight. A few minutes later we heard howling up in the woods sounding like coyotes. Bob went out with a flashlight and shined it towards the sound and they stopped howling. He talked to several people today who confirmed it was the sound of coyotes! Amazing….
Bob is trying to get some pics of the otter in the lake, but otter is not cooperating… patience.

We are hoping for good luck for you, no matter what the day. Have you had a lot of snow?
We have escaped to Mississippi for warm weather, Blues music and barbecue. Well, two out of three isn't bad and it WILL be warm by the weekend.
Love, Caryln and Dan
Hi Bob and Betsy!
Thinking of you and sending you good wishes and renewed hope for the new year! I hear you have some Old Man Winter there?! Stay warm and safe-I can imagine Violet is enjoying frolicking in it?
Hugs,
Rochelle
