Today I had my appointment with the surgeons to assess how I am progressing. No one could believe how good I looked. Things are looking okay so far. My biopsy showed no signs of rejection (Thank you God!), but I do have a touch of Bronchitis, so I need to take things a little easier for a few days. I will continue my 7 doses a day of IV antibiotics until I see Dr. Pilewski next Thursday.
I am scheduled to have a CT of my chest tomorrow morning as well as an ultrasound of my legs and feet to check on the swelling. I couldn't believe it when I got on their scale today and weighed 134, obviously I have a lot of fluid buildup because I am sure I didn't gain 20 lbs. of fat or muscle in the last few days.
Rose and Haley got off safely this afternoon. It sure was great to see them!
I never got to share the pictures from our dinner with Julie and Mary the night before I was transplanted. We had a lovely visit and Julie actually ate more than I did. (What an amazing miracle considering the last time I saw her she couldn't eat at all!) She got to return home for Christmas, which I know was a real blessing for her family!
My love to you all! Nancy

Great report Nancy. I think you are surprising so many people with how well you are doing!!! Please take it easy though. You need to get that bronchitis out of your system! I hope you can find some answers for the swelling.
Take good care and please know that you continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. I was just speaking with a friend and she asked about how you were doing. She was so surprised to hear that you were out of the hospital already. You are a true blessing to so many and we thank God daily for taking such good care of you!
We love you all! Get some rest!
Love,
Debbie and Family
Happy New Year to you all!
