I was starting to feel crappy so I called the Doc and he admitted me. My chest was feeling heavy and couldn’t take a deep breath. I am hoping that this will do the trick.
Took a breathing test and the first one was 23% and the second two was 26%. I also took a walk test and I walked 1537 feet in six minutes. My last visit I was at around 1800 feet. Just to give you an idea I was walking over 2200 feet when we started this 4 years ago. Part of the distance is that I have such a long stride. I also had to go to ICU for 1 day and get desensitized from a drug that I am allergic to. I
Transplant Team
Saturday, June 19, 2010
Amy and I and Annie went to meet with the transplant team. They had some concerns that I have had 2 lung function test and that they was both under 30%. As long as it stays above 30% they don’t get real concerned. This time it was at 27% and that really concerned them. They knew this would happen they just wasn’t sure when. I had explained to them that walking the length of the hall at the house just gets me short of breath. I also explained to them about my sinuses surgery and that I am still waking up with headaches, so after taking my O2 stat in the morning with my cpap on my O2

I went to see Dr z and they took a PFT and my lung function was 27%. As long as I felt good he wasn’t going to admit me. I do feel well other than my chest feeling heavy. I don’t feel sick with a fever and stuff. I will probably be going on O2 at night along with my cpap. I will talk it over with the transplant team and see what they have to say. I noticed that it is getting hard to walk down the hall at home with out getting short of breath. I am heading there on June 15th. I will keep you posted.

Well I made it another admission. I stayed the full 2 weeks. I have to go on May 6th and have my surgery. I can’t wait to stop having head aches. I go to New York in June and meet with the team again. I am hoping that between my surgery and this last hospitalization that I can stay out for awhile. Heading to see Dr Z in May, I’ll let you know how that goes.

It was only 35 days between admissions. I hope this is not a trend. Well I had to go to ICU for 24 hours because I need to get desensitized to a drug that I was allergic to. Now I am not so sensitive. Then I went back to my room for the usual course of antibiotics. My lung function was at 30 % when they did they test, I don’t believe it will get much higher. I am getting the usual treatment of IV’s and chest PT and walking. It’s a long 2 weeks. I need to go have my sinuses operated on. The sinus Dr came into my room and looked at them and took a culture and said that they ar
