Well, today has been an eventful day. I woke up at 3:30 a.m. to a pretty severe bout of lung bleeding. It took me about 30 minutes to get it under control. I called my transplant coordinator when I woke up this morning and he told me to go to the ER. I finished my 9:00 IV and we headed to UPMC. We spent the next 7 1/2 hours in the ER until a bed became available. I am now finally settled in a room. The good news is, my white count did not appear to be too elevated which means the IV antibiotics are still working (I feared I may be becoming resistant to the antibiotics). They will keep me here for observation tonight and we will see what the plan is tomorrow.
Wouldn't it be great if my lungs came while I was here in the hospital? That would certainly save some stress! Nancy
