Hi everyone!
We are OK - Gary is feeling fine and we had a long talk with his doctor. They are going to be running some other tests and she thinks that she can help him feel a little better than he is feeling now. They are also going to take a close look at his lungs and see if there is some other medicine for his lungs that will help him feel better.

We are doing OK - thanks so much for all your support and prayers, we really appreciate it. I'll check in later and let you know what's going on.

Home for the evening. Rexy and Rowdy sure are glad to see me! My daughter, Gary and I talked about the transplant issue. Of course, we don't even know if he will qualify, or if he will want to go through that whole ordeal, and it is an ordeal. His thinking is that he needs to consider it, if it is an option, if not, then we'll go from there.

I'm tired, but OK. I really wasn't expecting the doctor to have disappointing news and she said she wasn't expecting to find his heart was weaker either. We'll just have to see what tomorrow brings.

He's having his pacemaker upgraded and the battery changed at 12:30 tomorrow. That should go smoothly! I'll check in again tomorrow.

Thanks everyone!!! It almost makes me cry to know how much you care. That means more than you can ever know.

We are both in good spirits this morning. The lung doctor was here to do his evaluation for a heart transplant. He asked lots of questions, and gave Gary a good examination. He'll run some lung function tests tomorrow to give him more information.

Gary and I talked more about the transplant issue. My greatest fear is that this will get his hopes up that he might get a new heart and feel better again, but then they will find that they can't do the transplant and that will send him into a deep depression. But I guess I shouldn't project what might happen, and just focus on today.

Thanks again everyone for your kind words and wonderful support.
