Hello!
I received an e-mail from my doctor today, and I promised I would share:
There was a 50% narrowing of one of the segments (branches) of the right lung. Dr. Johnson thought that you should have a balloon dilatation of this (basically another bronchoscopy with anesthesia to put you a bit more asleep). We can arrange this for when it's convenient. This is a common problem that usually resolves after the airway is opened towards normal.
The biopsy was negative for rejection. Cultures are negative so far. This is good!
We'll be in touch to find a date for you to return, sometime in the next month.
I feel better having heard from him, it doesn't sound like this will be any big deal to resolve.I don't want to scare any of you who are planning to get the H1N1 vaccine, because I think it is very important, but I am feeling awful today. I don't normally have reactions to the flu vaccine, but I think that is what this is. I am exhausted and very nauseated, both possible side effects. Please pray that is all this is!
It is snowing right now, HUGE flakes, it is mesmerizing and relaxing, just what I need today when I'm feeling so punky.
My love to you all! Nancy
