Hi folks,
Linda is doing some better today, they gave her about 6 breathing ( I lost track of how many ) treatments in the first few hours, and have her O2 levels up to 94-96 % and she is breathing easier, but the steroids they have to use, beat the heck out of the immune system so it is a rock and a hard spot, if they don't give the steroids she can't breathe and when they do, even a regular cold that most people can shake off, could take her from us.
She does regular breathing treatments at home, but with little immune system, the babys cold (5 year old grandson that has to be next to his nanny) hit her hard, and even though she has not felt good for the last few days, there is no way to make a stubborn Redhead go to the doctor if she does not want to ( you have to be married to one to understand ).
So hopefully we will have her home in a couple of days and be thankful every day that she wakes up and can be with us, unfortunately COPD is not curable and we take one day at a time.
I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for the well wishes and thoughts and Prayers because I know they made a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you
