Yesterday- Day 2…

Hi guys!

So sorry I didn’t blog yesterday.  It was a super busy day, getting my first pulmonary function test to check lung function/strength, seeing the sleep docs, going through the whole admitting process, and a whole lot more.  I wanted to post pics, but Blogger is giving me trouble once again…so pictures may never come until I get home..lol.😛

The NG tube in my nose finally got removed this morning!  *sigh of relief*  It was so miserable with it in—every time I swallowed or spoke, the tube moved around way too much and made my throat really sore.  The nurse had to tape the tube down three times!

At 3:30 today, I’ll be taken to the OR for the extensive procedures.  You want to hear a cool fact?  Because I’m prone to malignant hyperthermia, the anesthesiologists in the OR will use this machine and filter out the “bad” general anesthetics that are known to cause reactions to MH.🙂 Very fascinating!

In other news, the Ronald McDonald House across the street from CCHMC called and said they have a room for us!  It’s so nice that I’m still of age to stay there even though I’m not a teen anymore..😉 Now we get to stay there until we leave to return home!🙂 Thank you, Lord, for your many blessings!

Hi, friends, I had a whole other post ready to go with some good news, but instead, I have an urgent prayer request. I started experiencing sudden onset numbness, tingling, and weakness in my whole left leg, and it’s been so scary. 🥺 It just came on out of the blue. I was doing so well with physical therapy each week (able to walk fast on the treadmill and leg press 40 lbs), and now, I have to limp because my left leg is soo weak. I really want to avoid the ED as much as possible, so I saw one of my doctors today. She’s concerned I’m having a big motor nerve issue. 😭 The plan is to see a physical medicine specialist, have a nerve conduction study, get an urgent MRI done, as well as see my PCP and pain doctor on the 25th and 29th for further evaluation/testing. I know I already said this, but it really has been so scary to lose function so quickly. Can you pray that I will trust the Lord and not worry? It’s been very hard, so I’d really appreciate your prayers and support in the coming weeks. Thank you so much. ❤️
