Hello everyone!
I have not posted since November 2024.
July 24th - 25th of this year will be two years since the heart transplant.

My Folks - Dad & Mom have been getting worse. My Wife, two Sisters, & I been taking turns taking care of them. That is why, I have not been posting here. Sorry.

Update on my health: it is stable, heart is beautiful, kidneys are under stage 2 kidney disease, my liver is stable not sure which stage of disease. Cholesterol is up from the anti-rejection medication. All other labs look good. The heart transplant team changed one of my anti-rejection medication to help with the kidneys. However, If I develope any of the side effects, I have to switch back.

May the love of Christ be with you.
Love you all!
Faron
