THE ZOO!! Lions & Tigers & Goats! Oh, My!

Yes, we headed off to the ZOO yesterday for a very fun and hot but great time! You wouldn't think going to the ZOO would be a huge step for me but last time we went to the ZOO in December I was pushed in a wheel chair with oxygen but this time I walked the whole way! No doubt did my legs feel like I had just worked out but my lungs hung in there! Enough about me though the person who enjoyed the ZOO the most was of course my little tatter tot (yes, we still call her "Tates")! Although she loved seeing the Tigers (which she kept saying, "Meow"!), Hippo, Monkeys, Seals, and much more she would have just have been happy seeing a Dog (dogs are her favorite animal! We will have to get one)! Here are a few pictures of our time.....

ROAR!!

Just the girls

Of course, she loved the petting ZOO and the goats were a big hit.....maybe we should get a goat instead or so Jason thinks =)

Daddy.....can I have one? =)

Old trucks make for good pictures although Jason thought he could take it home to restore it. One truck at a time I say.

UPDATE: We went to clinic today and Praise God my PFT's (pulmonary function test) were up from last week! It went from a 27% to a 39%! I haven't been in the 30s for years. To me this feels good I can't imagine it going up more. I do continue to have some nausea and GI problems which they feel will get better over time. It's hard because one medicine makes me hungry but then I have to make sure I don't over eat or I will be paying for it later. I'm having to try to find the right balance. The doctor said if everything continues to go well we might be able to move to TX in 4-5 weeks! This is exciting news (Jason is ready to get back to work) but crazy thinking about starting to pack up and move. Of course my heart is mixed with happy and sad emotions thinking about leaving but just as God brought us here for a season I know it's time to move on, doesn't mean I won't cry though.

Please be praying for me tomorrow as I have another bronchoscopy and they look for rejection or infection. Your prayers mean so much!

Also Jason's Mimi (his dad's mom) died this week, we will miss her and wish we could be there for the funeral. Please say a prayer for the Mulkey family as we have just lost a sweet Mimi and Jason's Papa (his mom's dad) continues to struggle to recover from his heart valve replacement.

Hope you and your families are doing well! We love you and enjoy hearing from you!
