Yes, it's true, she's got the flu, but it's not turning out to be as bad as the media wants you to think... Actually I have not blogged about it in quite some time but the gist of it is this... Her home Spirometer's "Forced expiratory volume" or FEV1 readings have steadily declined in volume over the past month creating a far greater concern for us than the Flu. Unfortunately for us this could mean serious or chronic rejection which is the #1 reason for loss of life for transplant patients... Or it could mean she has some hidden infection that we are not aware of yet despite several xrays and visits to the emergency department. Unfortunately for us we have run into one of the main doctors who's attitude towards my mother is beginning to concern us... She's filled with doom and gloom and offers little hope for her future, it's becomming quite frustrating for us and so we are seeking further places where routine tests and clinic appointments can be done...
I guess I confused some people as to where I have been blogging about her latest battle... I had started up a separate blog called BittenByFlu...
That's all for now...
