Last Test in Texas (at least for a few months)

The past two weeks have been filled with day-long trips to the hospital. Yesterday Elizabeth had her 3 month post transplant bronchoscopy (yes its almost a month late so technically we are almost at 4 months post transplant). She did well with the bronch and we should have some result back within a few days but the Dr said things looked really good and he was happy with how she is doing and how her lungs look. Our FINAL appointment is Thursday morning to go over all of her recent tests and make sure that we are ready to go home.

Waiting for her bronchoscopy 8/16/11

We are excited about going home, but nervous at the same time. We have spent the past year living each day scared and worried about Elizabeth and her condition, never knowing what might happen. We now feel more secure about how stable she but know that could change anytime. The fear of her getting sick or her body starting to reject her new lungs will always be in our minds. But we want to try and focus on the good things and how well she is doing and to make the most of the good days.
