Bets is doing great. Walking, eating, but most important is the breathing, breathing, breathing.... So cool for her to have new (recycled) lungs. She is learning how to breath deep, talk in more than one word breaths, dressing, stairs, etc... Eating good and building strength is key to this recovery.
Because of the blood clots, they are thinning her blood with heperin and they might pull that this afternoon. Coumadin was started yesterday, and when that stabilizes, the hep will be slowly reduced, then removed. They had talked a little about kicking her out on Sunday (tomorrow) but most likely Monday late morning.
Bob wants her home because he has created an extensive 'honey do' list... ;-) Gotta get her back at the chores.
Lung Transplants... Betsy was #10 for 2012.... last night they transplanted #14. Just shy of one a week. Still lots of people waiting. # 12 is just across the hall. Nice guy from near Seattle area. He and Bets have talked a little about this new lease on life. #13 was from Montana... We wish them all well. Looking forward to hearing about #15, 16, 17, 33, 45, 56,...... Right now there are about 55 on the waiting list.
