Turning the Corner & Hope to go HOME Friday!

The doctors just came in and I'm going to get PFT's (Pulmonary Function Test--see where my lung function is at) today and then they will check labs tonight or early tomorrow morning and as long as my kidneys and liver continue to behave, I can go home Friday on meds.  Happy Dance!!! 


I chose not to take the meclizine as I looked up the side effects and they were pretty much the same as the scopalomine patch so I decided to go without and just deal with the vertigo when it came back.  Praise the Lord, it has NOT returned!!!! Which is truly a miracle and a testament to the many prayers going up on my behalf!  I'm a little lightheaded after the IV colistin but that is to be expected.  My mucus is not as thick and sticky and easier to get up and it's not green anymore, so more good news!


Jord has not passed the kidney stone yet, but the pain meds they gave him to take every 6 hours are working and he is getting sleep, which is a huge praise.  


So thankful for everyone checking in on us and praying for us!  It has been a crazy and hard week, but we have both been so filled with God's peace that transcends all understanding and our church has gone above and beyond in serving us, loving us, loving on Mom and Dad T, and just offering help for anything we need.  This is truly a tremendous gift from the Lord! 


I'm gonna sign off and go for a walk since I haven't gotten to that yet cause the Respiratory Therapist was late this morning and then I didn't want to miss the doctors so I've got about an hour before I get hooked back up the IV for 3 hours.  


Have a great Wednesday!
