Homeward Bound

Today - February 28, 2007:
First, had blood work done at 7:30 am.
Then on to chest x-ray.
Ate breakfast and headed to Dr. Budev's office for Pulmonary Fuction Test.
Then, finally, to apt. with Dr. Marie Budev.

The fluid is completely gone in the lung! It looks wonderful! Patti and I both looked at the chest X-ray and all Dr. Budev could say was that it looked wonderful! She sat down with us and started going over the results for the pulmonary fuctino test, and the X-ray, but didn't have the results from the blood work yet. Dr. Budev's words? "You are doing incredible!" and "Do you want to go home?" Actually, I think she asked Patti if she wanted to go home before Patti had even seen the chest X-ray.

Dr. Budev has taken 4 medications off Patti's "to take" list. The most exciting of them are the two medications she had to take that are inhaled via the nebulizer. No more nebulizer, what will she do? NO MORE NEBULIZER! Patti said she doesn't know how NOT to use the nebulizer!

All we are waiting for at this moment is a new prescription list and to go get the medications from the pharmacy.

Our plan is to pack everything today, and leave first thing in the morning. We are going to find an I-Hop for breakfast and be "home" see that HOME by tomorrow afternoon.
