Last month we were getting ready for a transplant to take place this month. Now things are up in the air. Terry spent two weeks in the hospital after she fainted and had a series of medical misadventures. She wound up with pneumonia, many episodes of bradycardia (very low heart rate), high blood carbon dioxide and sleep apnea. At one time she had an external pacemaker put in. She also was put on a BiPAP machine.
The good news is that the pneumonia is cleared, the bradycardia is gone, the pacemaker is out. She will keep the BiPAP for the foreseeable future. The great news is after two weeks as a guest of the University of Michigan cardiology unit she is home.
However, with these latest medical travails her transplant has been delayed. Her transplant physician wants to see her in a few days, to reevaluate her medical status. There is a possibility that she will not be eligible for a transplant now. If that is the case it will be on to plan B, whatever that is.
I'll let you all know as soon as we know anything.
Take care, love each other and cherish every day.
