Uff da!

It was a full day. Started off with a doctor's visit for me--followup on blood pressure meds and I am doing great--lower than it has been in a long time. YEAH! Talked to my doc about Tom's burning throat and white stuff on his tongue. She thought it could be thrush, a fungus infection. That could be the answer for the burning in Tom's throat. That would be fantastic! Got an appointment for a couple of hours later and Tom's doc concurred. New prescription to a pharmacy that already knows us on a first name basis!

THEN it was in to UW to see a respiratory doctor's assistant who ran a bunch of tests. We were with him for 2 hours. I told him I was surprised how much we liked UW med ctr. Had thought of it as a teaching hospital but have been treated extremely well and with great patience. He liked hearing that. He recommended a BiPap machine for Tom to help with breathing when he sleeps--a possible answer to better sleep! A cough assistance machine didn't work because of the paralysis in Tom's vocal cords. He is also going to move the resp. doctor appointment up from July 28th. Another answer to prayer! He gave us more material to read in prepartion for that visit. We have some decisions to make regarding ventilation down the road. I pray God will help us make good ones.

THEN we went to Kirstin's and met with Dee who is helping to design Kirstin and Yura's house to fit in 2 more people. She's amazing when it comes to arranging furniture and creative living--what a gift she is giving us.

THEN we went to Kylisa's to visit, play with the boys, share a dinner and pick up food Kylisa has fixed for her mom.

Arrived home to find flowers waiting for us. Thank you D&G! What an amazing thing to be cared for and loved.

NOW we are home and ready to call it a night. Uff da!
