Well, we had a small set back. My mom and I had to come to the Emergency at UPMC yesterday. I was having a lot of discomfort with breathing and was running a high fever, so my transplant coordinator told me to come to the ER. I was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia, yet again! The good news is, they had feared the pain in my lungs might be caused by a blood clot, but a CT last night showed no signs of a clot in my lungs.
I am feeling a little better this morning and the fever has finally gone, so hopefully we caught it in time for me to make a quick recovery. I will see Dr. Pilewski tomorrow and hopefully get a sense of what my treatment plan will be. For now, they are trying some new IV antibiotics, so we'll see how well they work.
I will keep you posted. Nancy

Oh Sweet Nancy,
My mom called me yesterday with the news of your latest hospitalization. I was worried all night for you but I do know that you are in good hands! I hope this is just a minor setback on your road to new lungs. Keep fighting with your resilient faith and attitude. Get some good rest if you can and please know that I am keeping you close in my thoughts and heart. I love you! Say "hi" to your mom for me. Get well!
Love you,
Debbie
