*MARCH 15th*
The doctors have been watching pockets of liquid around the new lung.
After some consultation it was decided to place drain tubes in the
area. This began as a small drain and the results were less that
satisfactory. The next move was to surgically drain the remaining liquid.
This required placing larger tubes in different locations. About a week in
the hospital was required until the drain tubes could be removed.
This procedure set her back somewhat but she is now home, up and around
once again!!! Her check up was Friday the 13th....if you can imagine
that!!!! It was good and the doctor is talking about getting her back to
Wyoming before too long. They also are also sending her back to pulmonary
rehabilitation next week. I hope that she can receive her diploma and
graduate from there before too long!!
As Angela,one of the transplant coordinators, says...."Just another
little bump." Later, Glenn
