Love in Warmer Weather

Finally! We will taking our first vacation together since Greg's transplant - actually it is our first ever vacation together in the 10+ years we have been together. We will be heading to sunny Florida to spend a few days with some of my family for Easter. The older people in my family are heading into their 60's and some are not in the best health. One of those people happens to be my favorite aunt and she has a heart problem. The family is so excited - I get to see a cousin I haven't seen since 1993 and Greg gets to go golfing every day if he wants. Well, we will need to make some arrangements in making sure Greg isn't over-exposed to the sun but I am sure SPF35 or higher should be fine with a hat and such. Why? Oh, because one or more of his transplant drugs is counter balanced by the sun. What does this mean? The more sun he is exposed to, the effect of some of his medications decreases. Of course, we don't want this so we just make sure to keep him covered and protected from the sun. No, he doesn't have to be a hermit - just protect himself from the sun like us Irish skinned folks!

While we are gone, the children will play. No, we don't have any human children silly - we have two chocolate Lab puppies. Luckily, Greg is blessed with a great cousin that will be house-sitting for us and taking care of the dogs for us. So less than a month and we can do our first true celebration of life from medical equipment. This also means the beginning of daily prayers for me that Greg will remain in great health and nothing will stand in our way!
