48!

Today happens to be my 48th birthday. That's almost 50! Eeks! I have been blessed to have cystic fibrosis and be celebrating my 48th birthday. Also blessed to have these new lungs and be able to do things without getting short of breath! I went to the mall this week and it was nice not to have to look for the very closest parking space I could find and not having to worry about taking breaks when I was walking around the store. God is good.

I have been feeling better and have had more motivation since stopping one of my medications, so this is good :)

I hope you're having a good, relaxing weekend and God Bless~

Yay!

I got an email from my transplant coordinator today and there was no rejection on my lung biopsy!! Praise God for this!! I assume there was no infection on the initial results and they will let me know if fungus or anything else grows out in the weeks to come.

Thanks so much for your prayers and I would ask for prayers for a safe trip home, if you would please. Thank you.
Hugs,
Lynda

Bronch

The doctor said everything looked good on the bronchoscopy today! We should know by week's end if there is any rejection or infection.

My lung function was down 8% yesterday (compared to April) and lower then what my home machine has been indicating, so I hope it's just due to a different climate or something.

Some of my medications were lowered and a couple were dropped, so hopefully that will help me with my lack of motivation I've been struggling with. The doctor said that I take a number of meds and that a few of them could be making me feel tired.

Thanks so much for checking in, and as always, thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I will update when I hear if there is any infection or rejection.
Hugs,
Lynda

Safe Trip

We arrived safely in Durham and plan to go to the coast tomorrow, then appointments Tuesday and the bronch Wednesday. I will update as time allows. I'm off to bed now.

Thanks for the prayers!
