Except for this news!
1) My PFT's came up by 2%, which essentially is no change. BUT...
2) I'm coming home on Friday!! I told the doctor that I felt like I wasn't making much progress and I think this is the best I'm going to be, so she has agreed to let me go home on Friday.
3) I'm not coming home on IV's!
4) Dr. Talbert said I could keep my port accessed until Friday instead of reaccessing it on Wednesday just to keep it in for 2 days. That's a little less pain and a little more happiness!
5) We're stopping the Reglan! No more shaking, and it didn't make me feel less distended anyway, so there was really no point for it after all.
6) One of my antibiotics was changed due to what the doctor thought was an allergic reaction to it.
7) I now have a prescription written for Benadryl if I need it in the next few days, and it helps me sleep when I'm tired. Fabulous.
8) Sadly, my weight is not topping out at any given weight. I've gained 12 pounds and counting. But it doesn't matter because...
Soon I will be home! I will be swimming! I will be at the lake! I will be with friends! I will be biking! I will be going to graduation parties! The weight will melt off, at least what I have gained while I was in here.
What a positive update! I think I'm going to celebrate with a nap.
