Hi everyone! We really are getting pretty boring here, so that's why there aren't any new posts. Jennifer's blood pressure is running high, so we have a call into the post transplant dept., they are checking with Dr Budev to see what they want to do. The high blood pressure is probably because of the drugs she is on, so assuming that they will put her on meds. They asked if we were monitoring her salt intake, but reminded them she was a cystic fibrosis patient and needed her salt and she agreed.
We go to see the Dr. and do xrays and bloodwork tomorrow at 7:30, but should be done by 10 or so. That will be our first venture out. Jennifer feels guilty because we haven't been out walking, but it's freezing here. She keeps sending me out for food and waits patiently.
She seems to not be feeling the prednisone as much either. I thought that would make her eat mucho food, but she hasn't too much. She did eat well on Sunday, but then her sugar ran high because she had a milkshake. We will find a happy medium soon, I hope. We will post more tomorrow after we talk with the Dr. She's always so upbeat, it will be good to get reassurance that we are doing what we should be and she is doing fine.
Love to all!
Becky and Jennifer

Hey Jen. Hurry home so Elaine and I can challenge you to a race (new lungs vs. casts - you'd definitely win!). :P Love ya.
