Another update!

We are starting our 5th week of this Pre-listing journey. So far the schedule this week includes 6 days of PR, which will be very exhausting for mom, and a swallow test on Thursday. (Nothing that could derail us, just a pre-surgery look to have on file for comparison after transplant).
We are so thankful for all of you who continue to pray for and encourage us!! We don't know what we would do without the great blessing of Good friends that The Lord has given us!
As of now, mom should finish her mandatory 23 days of PR on Nov 1st. And we hope to be listed the middle to end of next week. Her coordinator is anxious to get her listed and is going to push to get it done a couple days early, so please pray with us that, if that's the Lord's will, that He will work it out for us!

2 Weeks Down!

Mom is currently finishing up Pulmonary Rehab, so I'm going to take the opportunity to update you all!
To this point, mom has completed 9 days of pulmonary rehab, had 2 days of clinic (days in the hospital, with meetings with drs), 2 addition mornings of tests, and 3 mornings of lectures.
She has a colonoscopy Friday at 1, and they've decided to redo her heart catherization next week.
We are on pace to get to her 23 days of rehab done on October 31st. And her coordinator feels confident that she'll be listed immediately! Yay!
We have lectures every afternoon for the next 3 weeks, in addition to PR, and several morning appts in the hospital.
Mom is feeling tired, and occasionally discouraged, but we're doing great!
Thank you all for your continued prayer and support!

Day 1 of Pulmonary Rehab

Just dropped Mom off for her first day of pulmonary rehab. She's not exactly 'excited' but she's there! She'll be doing 45 minutes of floor exercises (stretching, flexibility, and some ankle/wrist weights), followed by 20 minutes of walking, 20-30 minutes of biking and them 20-30 minutes of weight lifting. Please join me in praying that she leaves there feeling encouraged and not discouraged!
