Bronch cultures show that I have a fungal infection. Should have 3 more days in the hospital as they adjust my immunosuppressant meds around the treatment for the fungus, followed by 6 months of home treatment. We may still have to treat for acute reject. Depends on lung function

View from the 10th floor of my home away from home. They have ruled out most viral and bacterial infections. It will be Monday before the fungal cultures can grow. I either have a fungal lung infection or an acute rejection. We’ll know Monday afternoon.

Our Senior Living community is back in Covid lockdown. It looks like around 10% of the community is Covid + with several who have been hospitalized.

I'm participating on a panel during this online conference to Help the FDA understand what it’s like to live with Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS) and help develop new treatments for this form on chronic rejection. Would love to see you there.

So very proud of our Colorado granddaughter. She graduated high school this afternoon. My lung transplant gave me the opportunity to teach her to swing a kettlebell and see her graduate. I am blessed.

…thankfully lungs are good and after tweaking the meds a bit I should be good to go tomorrow.

We made changes to my BP and arrhythmia meds and my body didn’t agreed with our choices. So I’ve been back on the 10th floor of my home away from home. Main concern coming in was the possibility of another PE. My symptoms were a milder version of the larger PE I had last year…
