Alison is just about ready to call it a night – the boot camp began as scheduled this afternoon as the UIHC staff got their lung transplant patient sitting up in a chair for more than an hour, and she enjoyed some Jell-O! They also had her walking twice.
When Mom Garvin remarked that she only seemed to be using 1 liter of oxygen, (it used to be about 6 minimum, and even 10 at times when she was hospitalized last November) they said, "we could probably take her off of it entirely." And so they did!
There was a huge smile on Alison's face when that cannula was removed and she can now rely solely on her new lungs to breathe!
That's just such wonderful news! Thanks for the updates, aunt Janell... Do you have an address for Alison?
