I am so glad you will be here through the Holidays. I am sure you'll see such pretty things. We do have such pretty displays for the holidays. Let us know your thoughts about things you see here in the US that surprise you if you don't mind. We do take our beautiful country for granted and seeing it through anothers eyes should be fun..Enjoy every day. Love & Prayers, PeggyFlorida,  IPF/UIP 2004"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."  HiPeggy,I am still in CA and will perhaps be here till Feb.Thanks for asking.I am having a stable phase with no problems but for 2 episodes of mild infection, I took the antibiotics for 5 days each and i am fine.I am on 2lit o2 @ rest and 4to 5lit on exertion , i cannot walk around too much so i use the wheel chair to go around in malls and other places.It has not stopped me from sight seeing and I am having a good time. Waiting for my grandson to arrive in Nov.I will try to send you some pics.Geeta- In Breathe-Support , Peggy  wrote:>> Hi Geeta, Are you still in Ca.? If so I hope you are enjoying > yourself.
