loaded update

 I've had a busy past 10 weeks! I did NOT have H1N1! Since my last update I've been on IV antibiotics, traveled to Omaha to see my doctor, traveled to Minnesota for another biannual pre-transplant evaluation and been re-listed on the transplant list! I've also learned that I have gall stones and am waiting (not so patiently) to hear back from my doctors about whether they will remove my gall bladder before transplant or wait to do it during my transplant. I have been told that I'm "very callable" and that "there aren't many people ahead of me" on the list. This is exciting news! I am preparing to receive a call any day. Please pray for my donor's family, as they will be experiencing a great loss just as I am given a new chance at life. Hopefully the next update will be news about a call!!

 I know it's been months since I've updated this, but I thought today would be a good opportunity to fill you all in. I've been feeling feverish and lethargic for almost a week now (a friend's kid was diagnosed with H1N1 shortly after we were snuggly on the couch) so I was worried I had contracted the virus. I went today for PFTs and they were the same as they had been a month ago, but I wanted to start some IV antibiotics anyway, and Tamiflu, because I need all the help I can get. If anything, I'm hoping I'll feel better in a couple weeks and that's all that matters for now. Will update this again when I get the results of my H1N1 swab.
