Things are getting better

Many of you probably have heard that little Sarah Murnaghan received a successful lung transplant last week. How awesome for her is that? Her mother reports that she is still in the ICU and doing well so far, but it is still a long road for her. Thanks for all the prayers for Sarah and her family.

I, myself, am doing well and am a little over half way done with my Cipro antibiotics. The medicine is so gross tasting as soon as it touches my tongue that I had to come up with an idea to get it down without gagging! Finally I tried some salteen crackers. I rub the salty side of two crackers all over my tongue and it masks the taste. Thank God because I felt like a little kid and wanted to hide when it was medicine time...    

My coughing has lessened a great deal and besides the side effects of the medicine (stomach issues and feeling tired/dizzy at times), I'm feeling pretty darn good.

Thank you to all who have subscribed to my postings and that are passing the word along about this blog. Have a great rest of the week!
