Lee had another great day at the Center for the Living. The therapists told him today that they wanted him to stay in the same program until the doctors release him to come home to Vale. Today was the completion of the 23 sessions required after the lung transplant. Because Lee is still not able to walk more than one lap without the rolator, they have asked the doctors for an extended time. The goal is for him to be able to walk independently for a longer number of laps. The good thing about this is that Lee will be so much stronger when he returns home.
Tomorrow should be an interesting day. Lee will have clinic in the morning...............(this includes lab work, chest x-ray, and the pulmonary function test). We will get back to the condo around 11:00 and within 11/2 hours we will have to do meds, have lunch, do the I.V. med and leave for the CFL by 12:30. Lee will finish @ 3:30 and then we will go back to the clinic for his doctor's appointment and the results of the tests @ 4:00. We will probably get home around 6 or 6:30 p.m. It will be a long and tiring day for Lee. We are hoping to have some news in regards to this on-going infection, possible reflux and a time-frame for being discharged.
Betty and Worth came by this evening and we enjoyed a meal together in the courtyard. It is always good to have family & friends from home to visit. Worth is scheduled for a clinic visit in the a.m. with his cardiac group.
This will be a short blog. I have been going since 5:00 a.m. and have been going non-stop all day. I told Lee earlier that this is about as tired as I have been in a while! And.................there is still more to do before 10:00. So guess I'll just wish you all a good night .........................
More Later...................................................Brenda
