Long Day...
Hello! We have just returned home from a long day at the hospital. We got there around 11:30 and didn't leave until after 3:30.
My appointment went well. Everything continues to look good and my pulmonary function tests are stable. I have been experiencing a lot of tiredness and anxiety. They assured me this was normal. My coordinator reminded us that even though I look great, it will be at least a year before I will be totally back on my feet. Everyone just needs to be patient and not push too hard (me included!).
I am going to need to have sinus surgery, so we are hopeful that can be done next week. That will put off our move home a little, but as I've said, I want to get everything done before we come home. I will let you know when the surgery gets scheduled. I'll have to stay in the hospital for a day or two after the surgery.
That is all I have to report. I am really tired and need to lay down for a while. We need to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. for my bronchoscope, please pray that goes well.
My love to you all! Nancy

Your body has gone through a major overhaul and you need to just remember that this process is on a day by day status. You should be tired...I am tired just thinking of all you have been through. Try not to get discouraged, look at it as just another little bump in the road along your journey. I know you must be excited thinking of all the things that you will get to do once you are home, but staying healthy is very important. You are strong, your faith is amazing, and you will make it through this...just pace yourself and don't set too high of expectations for yourself! Cut yourself some slack my dear! You are doing amazing and nothing can take that away from you, but you do need to listen to your body and just take it day by day.
I love you so much and I look forward to the day that we can see each other again. Good luck tomorrow with your bronchoscope. I hope that goes well for you with great results!
Keep us up to date on your sinus surgery. I hope you get all fine tuned before you return home. Take good care and get as much rest as your body needs.
Love and Blessings,
Debbie
