So
the last time that I updated this was after I had a bronc and met Dr.
Patterson!
So
on March 20th I went down to Barnes to have another bronc this time
Dr. Patterson would be the doctor performing the procedure. It went really well in fact everything moved
very fast and turned out I knew my anesthesiologist (Dr. Meek).
Dr. Meek is the one on the left... and yes his hair always looks perfect!
He is a very
sweet, brilliant doctor with the bed side manners of a saint! So when I was
done I went to recovery 1 to wake up and make sure that everything was okay. Then
after that it was off to recovery 2 where I would get to see my mom and talk to
Dr. Patterson. Dr. Patterson informed both my mom and I that the leak where air
was coming into my chest cavity was much smaller than the pictures he had seen
the weeks before. And what Dr. Connors did was working it just needed more time
to show the outcome! He went ahead and added more gel/glue and told me to get a
x-ray in 2-3 weeks and that I did not need to see him unless I became really
sick or Dr. Daud or Connors needed him to!
Some of the men who work hard to keep me active. Connors, K, and Mauney
So
after that it was home bond to rest. Little did I know that when I woke up I would
have nausea so bad that I would need to go to Missouri Baptist to try and
control the awful feeling that would not go away. I spent 8 days in the
hospital and still didn’t feel very good when I came home. But with tender,
love and care I am starting to feel better!
Easter
was good and I was able to go back to work but then this pass Thursday I had a
little set back with feeling sick again and ended up having to give up my
baseball tickets to my mom and sis. (Anyone who knows me knows that there is
not much that can keep me from my boys of summer.)
Monday
I took the day off rested up and went and saw the doctor…. Not really sure why
nothing changed that much that I couldn’t have done over the phone. But the
best part was that I ran into Dr. Daud and he had me go get my overdue x-ray
and said we would be in touch later that day…
At
3:17 on Monday April 16th I received the best news ever! The leak is no more my
chest cavity is no longer full of air but filled with fluid like it should be! And
I don’t need to come see him till summer and I can start working out again.
Today
my friends Carrie and Jim had their second baby. A sweet little boy named
Michael James! And my friend Jill is getting married this weekend! I love good
news and hope that I can share good news with you all more often! Thanks for
all the love and prayers!
Also
please continue to keep sweet Katie in your thoughts and prayers!
