Results from 10 biopsies done in Bronchoscope 11/22

[Guest guest]

Great News received today from my lung transplant coordinator:

" Your bronch looks good. I don't see anything growing and it was

negative for rejection! " This means that the 10 days of IV rejection

meds that gave me in the hospital in Indianapolis after my lung

collapsed the day before Thanksgiving worked to stop the rejection.

I am still weak since the collapse, but am striving to get at least 8

hours of sleep almost every night and am in my 2nd week of physical

therapy now to strengthen my muscles as well as help my lower back

pain that had flared up a couple weeks ago. Beginning next week one

of my 2 weekly PT sessions will be in the pool where they will teach

me exercises to do in the water. I think Medicare will only pay for

about 4 weeks or so of the physical therapy, but then I intend to

join the YMCA (5 miles from my house) which is where the physical

therapy is being directed by the Middeltown Regional Hospital. Yes,

I am smiling tonight. So all you folks who are being considered for

a transplant don't get scared off by all my complaints about all the

side effects of the post transplant meds. They are difficult but I

am still here and that is what counts.

Love and Aloha from 25 miles N. of Cincinnati,

Judy,

Oh, this news just made my day brighter. I have prayed for you. God is so good. I want you to reap the reward for your hard work. You can be our poster child for successful transplant.
