Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 I have made an incredible recovery. Though my lung function is low 28%, I feel so much better. I did the 6 minute walk test and did really well today. I am as strong as I was before I got sick. I don't remember the last time that I felt this strong, since I had this infection for a long time. I am still working towards the transplant, nothing has changed there. But in between now and then I can lead a much more comfortable life. I was scared that I was going to plummet after this battle here. the doctors are very pleased and shocked at how well i am doing. I am responding to the antibiotics and the steroids really well. It looks like 10-14 days still here, but after all that I have been through I am okay with that. Today was a really good day. thank you all for being there when it was the hardest. I am sure that I will be back here someday, since I now the nature of CF and the realities of a 28% lung function, but one step at a time. Right now I have been given a periodic glimpse of health. I so badly needed that. But it will be easier to be here next time knowing that online I have a family to support me and care for me, even though they have only known me a few months. I think you are all wonderful!!!! Thanks for the prayers, they worked. Natalia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
