Day + 6

The days are moving along and boring continues. Although Eric hasn't had a fever in a while, the doctors are still suspicious of his lungs. He has had another chest xray, CT scan and will have a second broncoscopy today. So far nothing definitive is showing up but he does have a sore congested throat. Fortunately, it's not affecting his breathing or causing a fever.

On a brighter note, he did complain today that he wasn't allowed to eat until after the broncoscopy! Considering he has had NO appetite - I am taking this complaint as good news.

I am still snowed in at home. Traffic in Ottawa is absolutely outrageous today with the constant snowfall (2 days now) piling up and the bus drivers on strike. With a bit of luck, the snow may settle down this afternoon and they will be able to get the roads cleared so I can get into the hospital. I hate being stuck here! Glad this is an inpatient transplant this time round.

It IS just as well that Eric is inpatient this time round......thank goodness! Your weather sounds awful - isn't it amazing how the snow, which happens every year, still manages to cause so much chaos!! It's the same in Scotland - we always seem to be suprised when it starts to snow!!!
Have the docs said what they're concerned about regarding Eric's lungs? - if he's got no symptoms, what is causing concern?
Hope everything continues to progress in this uneventful fashion......:0).........love to you all.......Vx
