BRONCHOSCOPY Completed
as of 6:15 p.m. E.S.T.
- procedure went fine. Blood Pressure held.
- (the blood i mention earlier was not from lungs; she had bitten her tongue)
- Pulmonary Doctor was pleased that secretions were minimal
- Doctors say Lori is "doing better" at this point post-recovery, than she was at the same point after the first surgery
- Doctors are still considering when, and details of how, to do a TRACHEOTOMY
- Doctor Cummings is encouraged. Lori is tolerating things better than he originally thought she would. He thinks the following are in her favor with the latest infection versus the initial infection: shorter duration of infection; smaller area infected; bacterial count different due to the antibodies present in her system. All of which will hopefully make for a quicker resolution.
thank you

Lori, Thank you so much for doing one the the things you do best....inspiring others. I am using you and this web site to help my patients. Your positiveness, spiritualness, and sheer determination is halting alot of "pity parties".These patients are now not only praying for you, but themselves also. Your infections have "infected" a whole new world of people with the power of prayer. How awesome you are!!!!
PS from blog above. Your brother FINALLY mispelled a medical term...Pulmonary.
