Hi,
Thank you for all your prayers and I am sure Millie, Your Mom and others have been on the beads.
Frank is feeling better, and received good information at the doctors on Monday.
The whole thing about blood gasses was much ado about nothing. It sure goes to show that seeing doctors that are not familiar with you and your history can really mess things up. Recently his kidney doctor left and he has a new kidney doctor looking at one test and getting a bit overexcited. Than two weeks ago seeing a doctor he had not seen before in Lung area carrying on with kidney doctors orders.both without knowing that Frank has had this problem for 3 years. His regular doctor whom we saw on Monday said not to worry that those were the same numbers Frank has been having for a long time.
He said doctors and patients get all worked up over numbers and sometimes should just look at how you feel.
We Frank is feeling better and his walking statistics have improved since 2 weeks ago. His oxygen test he did over night showed he could use a slight more but go from 2 1/3 to 3 litters only. Also if he is walking around for a while or exercising turn it up and go on continuous rather than on demand.
He gave us permission to leave town with a couple of easy restrictions we can live with. Reporting in some results from breathing tests Frank can do on his own. just to make sure things continue to improve as they have been until he gets back to normal.
I think we will be leaving about the 6th or 7th.depending on the weather. I am sure you will have your kids and Janet to watch over you.
Love,
Judy
