Today was a very long and tiring day for both of us. We began class @ 11:15 and ended @2:00. we ate a packed lunch in the classroom because Lee's rehab sessions were to begin @ 2:15. I came back to the condo to get my car because the shuttle service was busy bringing folks in for a wedding this week-end. Promises to be busy and noisy around the pool! Unfortunately, the day was a little much for Lee and they decided to end his session earlier than planned. We were not able to attend the afternoon class since they advised that Lee come back to the condo to rest.. Seems that he just kept running out of O2 and his heart was racing. The doctor was called and they ran an EKG . He was better after resting for 30 min. but still not allowed to continue. Hopefully he will do better as we progress. Right now he is napping and appears to be fine. I think sitting in class in an uncomfortable straight chair and then up to walk was too hard on his system.
We now know the minimum requirements for Lee's name to be on the transplant list:
1. Walk 1000 ft in 6 min.(no stops in betweeen)
2. 20 minutewalk (1/2 mile no rest stops)
3 .Must meet all rehab sessions as scheduled
All goals must be met to be a candidate
We will keep you posted on his progress. Lee has a lot of work to do, keep him in your prayers.
Keep it up lee. we know you are one tough bird and can do this. hang in there! we are sooo proud of you!!!
