.....and this time its to the pulmonary ward 5E3 #20 because this is where they have the bipap machine if needed, but the CO2 count seems to have levelled off, which is a good thing because high CO2 acts as a mild anaesthetic and that's not what Pete needs.
A routine CT chest scan was done today and all seems to be looking good. Much to be thankful for!
They had to remove the picc line because the entry site didn't look good and a new one will have to be put in.
Now it's a day later and what a difference. Pete is breathing totally on his own :) :)
.......and hopefully he will be discharged as an "out patient" early next week.
We had a friend from our group who had his transplant in July 2014 visit us. Brian & Bev, thanks for the encouragement.
Praise to God from whom all blessings flow.
Wonderful to hear this good news, Margaret. We pray for continued progress on the road to recovery. Alida
