Well I had my breathing test and my lung function was 26%. That means I will get the usual two weeks of IV’s. I will be walking on the treadmill for the stay, and doing numerous breathing treatments and doing my vest. We are in hopes that this stay will keep my out for a while. I had to wait until Thursday to get my pic line put in. That is a real pain because the medication that I take through my IV is so strong that it causes my regular IV to give out after 2 or 3 doses. That means I need to keep getting stuck. The plan is to stay here for the full two weeks. Glad I got my laptop and F

Well I was feeling crappy so I called the Dr. He admitted me today. My chest was feeling heavy and wheezing. It has been feeling like that for a couple weeks. So I decided to call and take care of it. I will need to check in and take a breathing test before I can tell you what my lung function was. I’ll keep you posted

Well Amy and I went to meet with the team this week. We meet with the team and went to support group. After being evaluated they still say that I am too healthy. Although they do see a decline in my condition, they are still concerned. They were concerned that I am not able to maintain a proper lung function on my own. They also expressed to me that I need to walk for at least 30 minutes on the treadmill per day. That is so that the body will be strong enough to withstand the operation. They asked if I had any concerns and I told them one of my concerns is my age. I wanted to have this done be

Well I spent the two full weeks in the INN. I got home yesterday and I am feeling good. I did the usual course of antibiotic. I had a bunch to test to prepare me for my next trip to the transplant center in December. I was told to make sure that exercise at least 30 minutes a day. He also wants me to increase the number of time that I do my vest to 2 times a day. My lung function had stayed about the same as when I was admitted every thing seems to be holding its own right now. I will keep you posted on my next trip to NYC.

I went to the Drs today, I told him my chest was feeling heavy and I was having trouble breathing. I was coughing of streaks of blood. My lung function was at 31%. After being checked out we decided that I needed to be admitted into Club Med. So he had his nurse call the Inn and book my room for Monday. He would like to run some test to see why I am getting admitted so often. I’ll keep you posted

Well I met with the team and they said that I am still to healthy. After I got to see the Dr and answering all the questions and them checking me out they decided to wait. They still have some concern about my hospitalizations. I will need to go back in December. We think that I am getting close but just not yet. The Dr did think I need to call my doc here and get admitted. He said that he could hear my chest wheezing from where he was with out the stethoscope. They did blood work which I need every year. I also met with the social worker, and the psychiatrist. All went well with them.I need t
